Insomniac Games has released a new update for Marvel's Wolverine, version 1.001.006, that addresses player feedback regarding the game's prominent scent trails. The patch introduces three separate toggles in the Gameplay menu, allowing players to disable scent trails for Whiskey Bottle collectibles, Material Crate audio pings, and Nightmare Door roots.
These visual and auditory cues, intended to help players navigate and find hidden items, have been a point of contention among players. Many felt the trails were unnecessary given the often linear nature of the game's levels. While an earlier hotfix aimed to reduce their visibility, this latest patch delivers on the promise of providing options to turn them off entirely. Scent trails will still remain active during what Insomniac describes as "story-critical" moments.
The update also includes fixes for several reported game crashes and instances where players could become stuck. Additionally, the patch addresses an issue with overlapping bathroom signs in the casino level, which had previously drawn online speculation about the use of generative AI.
For players seeking assistance with locating in-game collectibles or navigating the game's story, Eurogamer offers a comprehensive Marvel's Wolverine guide that includes walkthroughs and tips for finding various items.
