In the Russian translation, the title has an almost literal title – X-Men 2: Revenge of Wolverine. It is not based on comics, but based on the second part of their film adaptation. The title, as the name suggests, is dedicated to the adventure of Logan. However, the protagonist does not use the appearance of actor Hugh Jackman from the films. In the video game itself, the character's appearance is borrowed from graphic novels. The story is dedicated to the hero's attempts to recover from the Shiva virus. He has only two days to find a cure. He will have to fight recognizable anti-heroes and villains: Magneto, Juggernaut, Wendigo, Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike. The storyline is divided into 6 acts.
