Insomniac Finally Lets Players Toggle Wolverine’s Scent Trails on and Off

In the latest patch for Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac has enabled the long-awaited option for players to choose whether or not they want to use the game’s visible scent trails.

The update dropped on October 6 after months of complaints from critical players, who felt the scent trails were too hand-holdy and didn’t let them explore enough on their own.

On Twitter/X, Insomniac explained that their decision to make the scent trails optional was a direct result of community feedback. Now, players can choose whether or not they'd like the option to toggle them on or off by using a Hint button, which is mapped to R3 on the PlayStation 5 controller.

This also goes for other features like the visibility of audio cues and nightmare roots, allowing players to navigate the game's environment and come upon the Nightmare Cabin by themselves.

“Our latest update for Marvel’s #WolverinePS5 is live and adds a new ‘Hint’ toggle for story-related Scent trails based on community feedback!” Insomniac wrote. “With recent updates, you now have more control over the visibility of Scents, Audio Cues, and Nightmare Roots.”

Also included in this patch were fixes for “additional community-reported issues related to crashes and bugs.”
