⚠️ Spoilers throughout. There are two post-credits scenes. The first plays for everyone: Sabretooth, following Apocalypse's voice in his head, uncovers an intact Helix Engine. The second is conditional — it only plays if you finished the game with at least a bronze rank on all 14 Nightmare Door trials — and it is a flashback set 75 years before the main story in which Jean explains her and Logan's real history.
There are two, and most players see one
This is the part worth knowing before you put the controller down:
| Scene | Who sees it | Subject |
|---|---|---|
| First | Everyone who finishes the campaign | Sabretooth and the Helix Engine |
| Second | Only with bronze or better on all 14 Nightmare Doors | Jean and Logan, 75 years earlier |
If you skipped the Nightmare Doors during your playthrough — and many players treat them as optional side content — the game simply does not show you the second scene. There is no prompt telling you one is missing.
The first scene: Sabretooth and the Helix Engine
Sabretooth uncovers an intact Helix Engine, having followed Apocalypse's voice in his head to find it.
Two details make this more than a cameo. First, Apocalypse has been working on Victor Creed throughout the game, not just on Logan — so the influence the finale removed from one brother is still operating on the other. Second, the Engine he finds is intact and unused, unlike the one rebuilt and expended over the course of the story.
Our Sabretooth page covers his role in the main campaign.
What a Helix Engine actually is
If the term went past you during the campaign: a Helix Engine is a device that activates dormant mutants. That is the technology the story's conflict is built around.
The one in the main narrative is rebuilt and used over the course of the game. The one Sabretooth finds after the credits has never been fired.
So the scene is not "a villain survived" — it is a working superweapon, in the hands of someone Apocalypse is already whispering to, with the ability to switch on an unknown number of new mutants. That is a considerably larger setup than a standard sequel tease.
The second scene: what Jean tells him
A flashback set 75 years before the main story, at the farm where Logan and Jean once lived together. Logan walks the property while Jean recounts their real history:
- They met hundreds of years ago, far earlier than the farm scene itself.
- She first burned Death from his psyche back then — the finale was a repeat, not a first.
- In the time since she has died and been reborn multiple times, like a phoenix.
- Each time, the two of them have found each other again.
It ends with them reuniting in the cabin — placed, pointedly, just before the memory erasure that closes the game. For what that means for the finale, see our ending explained page.
How to unlock the second scene
The requirement is: finish the campaign with at least a bronze rank on every one of the 14 Nightmare Doors.
Bronze is the lowest of the three ranks, so this is a completion requirement rather than a skill one — you need to have cleared each Door, not mastered it.
If you already rolled credits without it, nothing is lost. Mission Replay from the Nightmare Cabin lets you go back for the Doors you missed, and the scene becomes available once the set is complete. Our collectibles guide has the route.
Worth doing anyway: the same condition unlocks the hidden fifteenth trial, "Best There Is", which is the final step on the platinum roadmap. One cleanup pass settles the scene, the trial and the trophy together.
What both scenes set up
Apocalypse as the sequel antagonist. He is never beaten in this game — the finale only evicts him from Logan's head. The first scene confirms he is still active and still recruiting.
Sabretooth as a Horseman. Following Apocalypse's voice to a mutant-activating superweapon is not subtle. Given that Logan's own backstory is his turn as the Horseman of Death, the symmetry is clearly deliberate: the brother who was freed, and the brother who is being taken.
What neither scene sets up is an X-Men team — the game is set before the X-Men exist — or any link to Insomniac's Spider-Man universe. Nothing has been announced about a sequel; this is what the game teases, not what the studio has confirmed.
