The new Marvel’s Wolverine cinematic trailer has been swarmed by PlayStation fans still angry at Sony ditching discs
Insomniac Games released a new cinematic trailer for Marvel’s Wolverine titled “Ain’t No Hero,” designed to build anticipation for the game’s September 15th release. The trailer depicts Wolverine battling through various enemies over the years, with a recurring narrative element where a precious photograph is repeatedly dropped and eventually destroyed, enraging the character.
While the trailer itself was intended to generate excitement, it quickly became a focal point for PlayStation fan backlash. The YouTube video, which has amassed over 1 million views, attracted nearly 5,000 comments—many negative—from fans expressing ongoing frustration with Sony’s recent decision to discontinue physical disc production for PlayStation games. According to Sony’s announcement, the company will cease manufacturing physical discs for new PS5 releases starting January 2028.
Rather than focusing on the game’s content or gameplay features, a significant portion of commenters used the trailer’s comment section to voice their displeasure with Sony’s shift toward digital-only distribution. This represents broader consumer resistance to the elimination of physical media options on gaming platforms, with fans citing concerns about ownership, digital preservation, and resale options.
The trailer does include a first look at the character Lady Deathstrike, potentially introducing a notable villain to the game’s narrative. However, this new character reveal was overshadowed by the disc-related controversy dominating the discussion. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between platform holders pushing toward digital-only futures and gaming consumers who value physical ownership and media options.
