The latest update for Marvel's Wolverine, version 1.001.006, released on September 25, 2026, allows players to disable scent trails, audio clues for material crates, and Nightmare Door Roots. These features, which previously guided players toward collectibles and objectives, have been a source of criticism for making the game feel overly linear. Players can now adjust these settings in a dedicated 'Senses' menu.
Insomniac Games confirmed that 'story-critical' senses, such as the permanent blue trail pointing to main objectives, will remain active. The update follows earlier adjustments, including a September 18 patch that reduced the visual intensity of scent trails. Fans have referred to the trails as 'fart trails' due to their overt guidance, according to GamesRadar+.
The patch also resolves several technical issues, including crashes, bugs causing players to get stuck, and a glitch where objects turned white after extended play. A bathroom sign in the casino was fixed after a UV mapping error caused it to overlap, as noted in Polygon's patch notes. Insomniac Games stated it would continue addressing player feedback.
