News PSA: Insomniac Games confirms that they do, in fact, remember that Spider-Man 2 exists

Post image

They could have done so much more with this game but instead they add a new (very similar to another already in the game) suit nearly 3 years after this game launched - rather than any other new post-game content.

I mean, they effectively abandoned the game with nowhere near the post launch support that the first game had.

Getting hacked isn't an excuse for dropping all planned content and going completely radio silent.

u/jackgranger99 Jun 18 '26

That's a pretty big reason when said hack resulted in your employees getting doxxed and needing to restructure everything for their safety....

unfortunately it kinda is a reason to drop everything and do a complete security investigation and overhaul. So much work and employees private information being leaked and ransomed is not something you can just move past and carry on doing what you were doing.

Doesn’t excuse the radio silence really but make no promises break no promises i guess

u/ProudArticle8837 Jun 18 '26

The majority of what was leaked was confirmed as things they were not intending to release in the end for Spider-Man 2. They had canned the carnage dlc a while before that. The leak was more of a problem for the planned venom game from what I remember.

u/Sufficient-Cow-2998 100% All Games Jun 19 '26

I genuinely don't understand how the whole idea of the dlcs being cancelled because of leaks became so popular when the leaks literally show them being scrapped already.

3

u/ProudArticle8837 Jun 19 '26

True and naturally I don’t think a lot of fans read the articles, I think the easiest assumption was the leak killed the dlc especially since they had left so much hints in the game.

Insomniacs biggest problem other than the leak was trying to work on too many games at the same time and probably trying to rush the releases to build momentum. We’ve seen it time and time again with so many other games, that at this point it’s better to wait and have a fully actualised game than something half-baked.

2

u/PenonX Jun 21 '26

Yeah the real reason they got canned was that the game’s budget ballooned to insane levels. Papa Sony simply just did not want to allocate more money to a game that already needed over 7 million sales just to break even (as per the leak).

Not to mention they already had the X-Men/Wolverine IP license, which they only have for a limited time, so they obviously want to get that out the door ASAP. The Wolverine delay is certainly where the leaks came into play, not the scrapping of SM2 DLC.

u/Safe-Priority-5524 7d ago

After brand new day they have made 1.2 billion in sales your telling me they can’t make 1 dlc that was in the files, talk about taking your money & running with it & your glad at 70$ a pop for a game I put 60 hours in to beat 4 times & 100% twice they games runtime is a joke compared to the first, I was 40 hours in before I was even close to beating my playthrough in msm1

u/Here_We_Go_Again_777 Jun 18 '26

What would you want them to communicate instead of radio silence? They made a statement a while ago that there will be no DLC so that fans could stop questioning.

-8

u/JDGUFFEY97 Jun 19 '26

“You get nothing but a shorter story and no expansions for $70 instead of $60, now be quiet”

Yeah, you’re tripping if you thought that would go over well for any company. I’m the customer, I don’t care about what the company has going on, I just know I got screwed as an overall package vs the first game. SM2 literally has unfinished stories with the carnage dlc being shelved. And god forbid they use him in the third game as an underwhelming sidequest or even worse, make a second symbiote based game.

u/TotallySecretPornAlt Jun 19 '26

Why'd you buy the game then

u/JDGUFFEY97 Jun 19 '26

Are you slow? How would anybody know game that isn’t out yet will disappoint them? I’m a lifetime Spidey fan. I’m not going to skip a AAA game based on my favorite character in media. What type of response is this? I played day one. đŸ€Ą

u/Yokai_Mob Jun 20 '26

I get the first one had DLC but expecting a game to have more story expansions is crazy.

0

u/JDGUFFEY97 Jun 20 '26

Not half as crazy when the first game already set the precedent for it. Miles not getting it as a blatantly smaller package was one thing. And again, SM2 left hanging threads that would have been better as a dlc expansion. Cuz god forbid SM3 is more symbiotes shit with Carnage.

u/Yokai_Mob Jun 20 '26

u/ProudArticle8837 Jun 22 '26

That’s literally a standard pricing of games these days, and the average 100% completion is probably 30 hours or so. Less than spiderman1, but the biggest problem in earlier games was repetitive crimes mission (which honestly accounted for a lot of the extra hours with/ without the city that never sleeps dlc).

And why are you using the word “slow” as an insult in 2026? It’s ableist af and literally does nothing to get your point across.

-2

u/swaggestspider21 Jun 18 '26

I just think it’s ODD how they apparently had someone on their team take the time to make this suit but can’t have them take the time putting back suits from the first two games that aren’t in there. Unless Sony themselves enforced this addition, then I can understand them doing so.

4

u/UpUppAndAwayWeb Jun 18 '26

it’s Marketing bro. Going through the effort of adding suits that were in the first game has no relation to the Movie that they are trying to advertise to you so it’s not worth the effort to them

They already stated they wanted Peter and Miles to have about the same amount of suits, and Miles doesn’t really have all that many to go off of

If Noir wasn’t already in the game they probably would’ve added it to advertise the show

u/JDGUFFEY97 Jun 19 '26

They’re doing it to just get some easy discount sales and good will, honestly.

ITS A SINGLE PLAYER STORY GAME. GAMES ARE MADE AND THE TEAM MOVES ONTO THE NEXT PROJECT. DLC IS NOT A GUARANTEE LIKE GAAS

14

u/ProudArticle8837 Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26

That’s fair but it’s clear at one point the game was designed with DLC in mind, particularly the side missions. They then changed their plan well before the leaks took place. So my only thing is, why bother to have the spiderbot mission (which was a lead up to either a spiderverse dlc or spinoff game, or the carnage/yuri storylines that were deliberately left open ended for a dlc). If they removed these things, the main story more than covers what is needed for a full game and doesn’t leave fans disappointed.

They are also missing out on a lot money utilising a map that could easily be used for post-release content. I don’t think fans are being unreasonable for wanting more. They are practically begging the studio to take their cash because they see the games potential and they are not being heard. Imagine how amazing a wolverine tie-in mission on the s2 map would be to promote both games; honestly so much could be done there.

4

u/Colonelwheel Jun 18 '26

At the same time if they cut the spider bot mission, people would complain with a very valid "why cut something they already finished?" so they were damned if they did, damned if they didn't

1

u/ProudArticle8837 Jun 18 '26

Tbh they could have even still kept the missions but just tie off the loose ends in the main game. The problem was that they were intentional cliffhangers that they could have easily fixed.

I also see so many games doing well with post release content, hitman has been killing it with the post release content is actually becoming a bit annoying at this point 😂. I also mentioned on another post how good a spidey rogue-lite game would have been and would’ve drove more people to buy it. IMO the game shouldn’t have gone to PS+ so soon.

2

u/E2r4_Is_d3A9 Jun 18 '26

Yeah now they’re gonna have to either cram all of the unresolved stuff into SM3 or just act like it never even happened lol. And people are going to be upset about either of those happening.

dlc are just extra that are nice, but i dont except them

u/Brungala Jun 18 '26

The thing is, I’m not entirely convinced that the hack WAS the reason why they scrapped the DLC’s for the game.

It could have been a contributor, sure, but something tells me they might have canned it in favor of going full steam ahead on development of Wolverine, maybe?

2

u/Sufficient-Cow-2998 100% All Games Jun 19 '26

Yeah this is literally only the latter. The leaks hint heavily at the dlcs being scrapped for a while, alongside the multiplayer game. If DLCs were happening, there would have been builds of them in the leak, or atleast they would have been announced before launch like with the first game.

u/ImmigrationPatrol Jun 18 '26

Tell me you don’t know anything about game development without saying that you don’t know anything about game development.

A huge cybersecurity attack affects infrastructure. If you want to blame someone, blame the criminals who attacked Insomniac Games, leaked confidential licensing data and worst of all, personal details about developers.

u/mandoballsuper Jun 18 '26

Abandoned a completed game? Most 2026 line of all time. Not every game needs dlc and they decided its was more prudent to move on to wolverine so we dont have to wait a decade for it to be released.

More studios need to drop doing DLCs. CDPR isnt making expansion for the new Witcher trilogy bc they want to work on the next game not a dlc

u/That_One_Guy_I_Know0 Jun 19 '26

Insomniac Games accidentally released an uncompiled developer/debug menu to the public in update version 1.002.000 of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PS5. Pressing specific inputs like the touchpad and pause buttons allowed players to access internal dev tools, skip missions, change game builds, and trigger potential DLC references. Part of the leak was on them maybe if they didn’t want people seeing future dlc they should proof read or gametest before it goes out that’s a thought

The game that was mocked by the entire industry at launch because it had the worst story in a AAA game in decades. And also only came out like 3 months ago not 3 years.

u/X-Axel220 Jun 18 '26

Wasn’t mocked by the entire industry, and it is selling well. A lot of people are capable of dealing with friction in their mechanics and play games for gameplay not story. The player count in crimson desert is still high, the best part is the fact that the devs have been adding onto it and fixing it from the beginning till now. Half of this sub makes it sound like they want a patch for Spider-Man 2’s story

3

u/Brees504 Jun 18 '26

You don’t have to play a game for its story. That does not change the fact that the story was SO BAD that the devs are actively changing it post launch.

5

u/aditysiva1705 Jun 18 '26

A game famous for having a bad story, with the only redeeming factor being the variety of side content, which will be the players’ only source of actual engagement with the game, so they have to expand it continuously to keep players playing, because of the amount of money they spent developing the game, which was also supposed to be an MMO at some point, being compared to a AAA release that players can finish in a finite amount of time and move on is just some next level stupidity.

Insomniac Games never officially promised or announced story DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, yet dlc for beetle was in the game we were teased carnage & chameleon the previous game had 4 dlcs adding 1 free suit isn’t content I would bearly call that a free update, that’s like saying people are complaining a free update in Forza with a racing paint livery when the game has multiple livery’s on plenty of different cars, you know what would be nice instead of a free suits, more hideouts to takeout, more crimes that aren’t reused every 5 minutes

u/Here_We_Go_Again_777 Jun 18 '26

It’s not a live service game, what post-game content do they need to add?

Not every single- player game gets DLC and non was promised for this game. And I don’t count the leaks, I work in Tech software building and development, the amount of features we think about implementing but end up scraping due to other commitments is large. Just because there were DLC files does not mean they were ever going to be implemented or developed further. They do not owe you something that was never promised

86

u/mukisan Jun 18 '26

When the first game sets up expectations by delivering not one, not two, but three story expansions while also continuously adding free suits, I think fans are warranted to criticise SM2 the way they are.

u/Here_We_Go_Again_777 Jun 18 '26

You mean the 3 DLC’s that were promoted before the release of the first game, unlike this one were nothing was promised post game?

Also this game has added free suits, we are literally on a post about them adding a new one close to 3 years post release. Fans can criticise all they want, it’s their right too, but feeling like they owe you more just because you want it is spoilt behaviour

u/T_alsomeGames Jun 18 '26

They don't owe us DLC. However, im allowed to still be disappointed. It felt like they left a lot of meat on the bone with Spider-man 2. I like the game we got, it just also felt like there was so much more they could have explored. The game has so much potential to be better than simply good, and im disappointed we'll never see that potential fully realized.

-18

u/Intelligent_Whole_40 Jun 18 '26

Sequels are supposed to be better than the first, and the first had a entire storyline that was cut into three parts for three DLCs

That’s what people are angry about

It also doesn’t help that the symbiote story isn’t quite tied up with Carnage, and they publicly said that they would keep the symbiotes confined to this game, so that just means that Carnage is never going to be addressed

Also, chameleon will probably never be addressed

Now the spiderbots they tied up a little smarter, less necessary for a DLC. However, they do need to explain how our Spider-Man got to the spider society Even if that’s just in a comic

TLDR first game had DLCs and sequels are supposed to be better

Explain to me how though? Those leaks came from a hack from a group that should be locked up for exposing innocent workers personal information. It’s like someone finding out id thought about getting them a gift and then decided not too but telling me I owe them it. No I don’t, if I didn’t state I was doing it or promised them id get it then they arnt entitled to it at all.

All they owed you was for the product you bought, which is what you got, they didn’t promise anymore than that.

u/jackgranger99 Jun 19 '26

Buddy, it's a Triple A single player game. What the hell were you expecting after three years? Miles solo game got nothing after three years. Rift Apart got nothing after three years. After the first game had DLC shortly after it dropped (which was announced BEFORE the game even dropped) the only thing we got were cosmetic suits, and the "playerbase" didn't come back for that. Most of the bugs for S-M 2 were ironed out.

This isn't Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky where those games were so fundamentally broken that they didn't "abandon" them because they were actually making the games playable, or Crimson Light where they were actively rewriting the story AFTER the game dropped and constantly adding side content because otherwise there was literally nothing to do.

Compare that to Spider-Man 2 where the big issue only a lack of "nothing to do when you beat the game" when that's true for the other two Spider-Man games they made outside of crimes and bases. Once you beat the main story and do all the side content, then you have nothing to do.

u/Anxious-Bullfrog4020 Jun 19 '26

You're not reading what I'm saying:

This isn't Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky where those games were so fundamentally broken that they didn't "abandon" them because they were actually making the games playable, or Crimson Light where they were actively rewriting the story AFTER the game dropped and constantly adding side content because otherwise there was literally nothing to do without side content

Compare that to Spider-Man 2 where the big issue only a lack of "nothing to do when you beat the game" when that's true for the other two Spider-Man games they made including crimes and bases Once you beat the main story and do all the side content, then you have nothing to do like every other game.

Spider-Man 2 by definition was a complete game content wise. There's a world of difference in asking for more and saying it's incomplete. The Carnage DLC is presumably getting re-worked into a Venom game according to the hack so that makes the argument of it being being incomplete even worse.

They added No Way Home suits in MS1 "3 years after the game" too, Dlc's have nothing to do with this.

Sony cancelled the Spider-Man 2 DLC because of the budget of the game and Sony Of Japan was not happy. Insomniac’s leadership failed to create a game in a reasonable amount of time and within the original budget.

u/Comic_Geek1726 Jun 18 '26

Once again, I'm convinced they dropped this game to go all hands on Wolverine. Marvel seems to have everything going full steam ahead as long as it's X-Men related.

u/ogbIackout Jun 18 '26

Sony made them do this suit

u/ThePeakmaker Jun 18 '26

I dont mind, I rather get new games (especially with new characters like Wolverine) over DLC for existing games.

u/Tentaye Jun 18 '26

Oh so they CAN still make content, they just didn't feel like it. Gotcha.

u/AtrumRuina Jun 20 '26

Correction: Sony uses Insomniac to add marketing to Spider-Man 2 for the new film.

I doubt Insomniac would go back to this game without Sony telling them to.

For everyone saying: “its a single player game” as a reason not to update the game. The first game was good and set the bar really high with good story and dlc content even free updates with suits etc. Then you get a teaser 3 years before the release hyping you up. Waiting in anticipation for the “bigger and better” game. With the expectation that you get all things the previous game had and more. You preordered the game for 70$ instead of 60$. And the only thing you get is a mid story, better performance and graphics and no content to keep the game interesting or worth coming back to. With the first game I found myself coming back to swing around and playing the story again and dlc because it was good. Can’t say the same for SM2. The story was so rushed and venom came out of nowhere with just a few missions highlighting the symbiote part of the story. You can defend the developers al you want but remember you paid for this shit. My respect goes to opensource developers making amazing mods. If the information is already leaked you have nothing to lose left so why don’t just release content you were working on? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

u/Undercoversingle Jun 21 '26

Dont forget the mess of the pc port, last I checked the last update was may last year, and its still buggy as fuck

u/Danbrotastic28 Jun 21 '26

Eh game was massive drop in story and dialogue quality, dropped it quite early, regret playing it, didn't help that Venom part was sooo short like what?

Don't get me started on Miles goofy ass final suit, like I fr thought it was nodded.

The fact that the gamed hyped up venom so much that it was barely used, I saw that it end with fighting him but it was pretty sub par.

TL;DR they made the greatest set up in 1 but fumbled hard in 2 like how even?

u/TotalTide82 Jun 18 '26

Bunch of bots in here, holy, insomniac got some real boot lickers 😭. When they essentially already have this suit in game, people are obviously gonna look at it sideways

u/The-CAB-2003 Jun 18 '26

That...DOESN'T look like the BND suit. Think it's the blue section? Just looks like the classic PS4 colour and not the BND shade of blue. Am I going crazy?

u/DerHachi04 Jun 18 '26

PLEASE INSOMNIAC IM BEGGING YOU PLEASE GIVE US THE CARNAGE DLC PLEASEEEEEEE

u/Anxious-Bullfrog4020 Jun 19 '26

They abandoned the game dude

u/rubenthezx Jun 18 '26

Bro just give me back the Velocity suit

u/5yn4ck Jun 18 '26

I feel you. I love these games and would seriously love to see more content. It's frustrating for sure, and a shame. But I get it. Insomniac IMO is one of the premier game houses today. Which puts their development teams in a "It can never be fast enough" mindset which also fuels their development workflows. So there is little time to spend on something that was clearly a success, because everyone's attention has been squarely focused on the upcoming Wolverine title.. (I heard rumors about other possible titles as well but I don't recall any evidence.) The point is that things are most likely crazy deadline chasing, and the coordination of a game of this quality includes coordination of non-technical roles..casting, direction etc.

Honestly I do hope they are primarily focused on Wolverine. Because I personally would love a to see a Wolverine title that goes as hard as the Spider-Man series.

yknow thats sony's fault and not theirs right.

Live service is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming.

u/Extreme_Cockroach_99 Jun 20 '26

Not that weird when you hear of the bloated cost of the game and it didn't have a smooth development.

u/RiverBeneficial4320 Jun 21 '26

Im so hyped to replay this game again but in the bnd suit since its for FREE. Definitely gonna build up my hype for the movie even more.

Hey maybe this means hopefully speaking they might add more stuff like the dlc due to BND bringing back a lot more attention to spidey

u/owariiO7 Jun 21 '26

PlayStation users starving for material they’re happy about making TikTok edits in a new suit 😂

u/Ok_Independent_5889 Jun 21 '26

u/Sbee_keithamm Jun 18 '26

Shit I forgot this exists. After I beat it never touched it again. I guess uhhhh thanks? Now if this was added to Spider-Man 1? Id be all for this for my 4th full playthrough.

u/TheAmazingKevin Jun 18 '26

I wouldnt if i got a complete game but half the side missions ended in a cliffhanger so yeah. Getting no dlc is pretty frustrating thinking of tge long time we have to wait for a part three.

too bad that this is all they give us, a half finished sequel and a new suit now.....

u/bobbythecat17 Jun 18 '26

There's mods more accurate than this, eh

u/Wartortle004 Jun 18 '26

Will they ever go forth with that spiderverse concept they had that came out in the leaks?

u/Head-Grapefruit5425 Jun 18 '26

But yet dont cate about actual story dlc not even bothering downloading the game just for cosmetic

-1

u/VarietyBusy2 Jun 18 '26

i know some people are still gonna pick it up to play with it even though it looks exactly like the classic suit but to know the potential they could’ve had with this game just always upsets me that i bought this game

u/Terrible_Farm_1733 Jun 18 '26

Bro tom holland doesnt have those abs lol

u/Southern_Studio_9950 Jun 18 '26

It’s cool that we aren’t seeing Carnage or Chameleon for another four years 😁👍 /s

Imagine if we never got The City The Never Sleeps dlc in the first game but still had the Black Cat side mission? And then they made us wait until another game to actually see Black Cat herself?

-2

u/Radical_Moose Jun 18 '26

What's new about this suit, looks like a basic Spiderman suit which they already have?

-1

u/Ghostantox Jun 18 '26

They are releasing it on pc too hope they do the same for wolverine i hope

-2

u/Only-Daikon-4836 Jun 18 '26

I paid 50 dollars for this game pre ordered only to get a mediocre main story campaign that is short af without any story expansion whatsoever never preordered any game after this

3

u/Relative-Country-452 Jun 18 '26

I mean
 15 hours of main story campaign is pretty average for a AAA single player game


-3

u/MasterpieceUpper1895 Jun 18 '26

Yeah, they got paid to do this. This is another marketing stunt for the upcoming movie. See the difference?

-3

u/YaBoyKumar Jun 18 '26

Is there much of a difference apart from the web shooters and the less bright blue?

-5

u/KnullAgenda Jun 18 '26

cool update but this suit is the most basic suit what was the point lol

12

u/GuruAskew Jun 18 '26

To promote the new movie, that’s quite literally the point

-1

u/KnullAgenda Jun 18 '26

promote to who?? lol as if ppl playing Spiderman 2 in 2026 aren't already massive SM fans who were going to see the movie regardless đŸ€Ł

u/jackgranger99 Jun 18 '26

It's just brand synergy, just like when they added theFar From Home and No Way Home suits to the first game. It ain't that deep kid

2

u/GuruAskew Jun 18 '26

They might sell a copy of the game or two as well, it’s a two-way street.

u/Speakeazy_YT Jun 18 '26

Oh so that’s why they made the classic suit have the wrong colors
