Those who didn't rush to buy will be able to add the game to their collection at a lower price.

Marvel's Wolverine was released in mid-September. Insomniac Games' new title faced many complaints even during the trailer publication stage: players ridiculed the gameplay mechanics, QTE system, and design decisions, such as the bright "scent trail" (after release, the effect was weakened with one of the patches).

GermanStrands recently drew the community's attention to the fact that a European retailer lowered the price of Marvel's Wolverine two weeks after its release:

At MediaMarkt Germany, Wolverine is selling for 45 euros – at that price, honestly, it's an obvious buy, in my opinion. You should also check your local stores: they might have a similar offer.

Some players linked this to the quality of Marvel's Wolverine. They believe the game is not selling well, so retailers are trying to get rid of the discs quickly (the usual price is 80 euros). II_JumPeR_I stated that he would not buy it, but "will wait until it appears on PlayStation Plus subscription".

GunHetzer35958: "Another attempt to get rid of a game that isn't selling and boost sales figures for the publisher".

According to Chronos_84, he goes to Mediamarkt "every weekend" and copies of the game are "gathering dust on the shelves".

Currently, some tech enthusiasts are trying to run Marvel's Wolverine on PC using an emulator. There has been some success – they even managed to get to gameplay, but performance is still a critical issue.
