Marvel's Wolverine has received a surprise update to address a feature many players found annoying: the "fart gas" scent trails. These blue lines guide Wolverine to his next mission and collectibles. The hotfix update version 01.001.005 changes their opacity, making them less noticeable. The update also tones down the audio cues associated with scent trails.
Insomniac Games, the game's developer, stated they are still exploring ways to improve senses and may offer the ability to toggle them off in future updates. The feature, known as "fart gas" by some players, has been widely mocked online. Before the game's release, fans requested a toggle to turn off the scents. Insomniac has also fixed some game crashes affecting a small percentage of players.
While Sony has not yet announced sales figures, early estimates put Marvel's Wolverine at 1.9 million copies sold, generating around $130m (~£97m) in revenue for Sony. The game has received mixed reviews, with Eurogamer's review praising its character work but criticizing its outdated design.
