11 characters have been revealed so far to appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC (labeled “Uncaged Edition” and M-Rated), Wii, PS2, PSP and DS. It will be released in America on May 1st, 2009, day-and-date with the theatrical release of the film it’s based on.

In this intense and violent 3rd-person action game, players will take on the role of Wolverine and witness his origins while unraveling the relationship between him and rival mutant Sabretooth as the game loosely follows the movie. So if you don’t want to spoil what mutants appear in the movie, don’t read the game’s character cast.

The game was built from the ground up around an R-rated film (later downgraded to PG-13 after the game had already started development) meaning the game makes full use of Wolverine’s claws to slice and dice in bloody and realistic form, as heads roll (literally) and limbs fly (literally). The Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions live up to their Mature rating while the other versions have been toned down for a Teen rating (Wii, PS2, PSP and DS) which is more in line with the final PG-13 rating of the movie.

Here’s the list of characters who’ve been revealed so far, in alphabetical order:

1. Agent Zero (real name: David North)
2. Blob (real name: Frederick J. Dukes)
3. Deadpool (real name: Wade Wilson)
4. Gambit (real name: Remy LeBeau)
5. John Wraith (aka: Kestrel)
6. Sabretooth (real name: Victor Creed)
7. Sentinels
8. Weapon XI
9. Wendigo (aka: W.E.N.D.I.G.O. Prototype)
10. William Stryker
11. Wolverine (real name: Logan)

Characters who appear in the movie, and may be in the game, in alphabetical order:
* Banshee (cameo)
* Bolt (real name: Chris Bradley)
* Cyclops (cameo)
* Emma Frost
* Jason Stryker (cameo)
* Silver Fox (real name: Kayla)

As the game approaches its release date and more characters are revealed we will update this list (assuming there are other character appearances in the game).

So what other X-Men/Marvel characters are you hoping will make an appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine – The Videogame?

Lastly, here is a behind-the-scenes video to give you an idea of what the game is like and what went into its production.
