Insomniac's new PS5 exclusive Marvel's Wolverine departs from the studio's open-world Spider-Man formula, instead offering a linear action game closer to God of War and Uncharted. The story follows Logan as a reluctant member of the mercenary group Team X, alongside characters like Sabretooth and Mystique, as they investigate mutant disappearances tied to an arms dealer. Combat centers on fast, violent slashing that leans into Wolverine's healing factor and claws.

Danielle Udogaranya, known as Ebonix, has spent over a decade making custom Black hairstyles for life-simulation games like The Sims and Paralives because developers rarely offer more than a few textured options.

Her Patreon, with over 115,000 members, fills that gap with free and paid hair packs modeled on real styles.
