After the leaks about Marvel’s Wolverine, Marvel’s Spider-Man and other Insomniac Games titles, we learn that a very big project will never appear on PS5.
Last week, Insomniac Games (Marvel’s Spider-Man 2) fell victim to a criminal cyberattack. As you probably know, current and former employees and independent contributors have had their personal information stolen. An action that could have very dire consequences if this information ends up on the Internet. This is not the case at the time of writing these lines, but on the other hand, the pirate group responsible for this affair has carried out its threat by disclosing all the studio’s next projects and, above all, numerous details related to their subject with supporting images. Marvel’s Wolverine was the most affected game.
This new Marvel’s Spider-Man game for PS5 has been discontinued
The hacked Insomniac Games data is very numerous, and among them we discovered several unannounced PS5/PS6 exclusive games with release windows. So the studio would aim to release Marvel’s Venom in fiscal 2025, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 in fiscal 2028, a new Ratchet and Clank in fiscal 2029, and an X-Game-Men in fiscal 2030. But according to one of the documents, a multiplayer for Spider-Man was also planned. Why talk about it in the past tense? Because he no longer exists.
Journalist Jason Schreier, considered the most trusted person in the video game industry, turned to his sources to learn more. A multiplayer about Peter P arker and his cronies was in the works, but was canceled a long time ago. “Many of the documents revealed were old and may no longer be current. This is the case with a Spider-Man multiplayer game that was actually canceled a long time ago, say people familiar with the company’s plans.
Was it the multiplayer mentioned on the presentation slide for Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 or the rumor about an online Spider-Verse title? Jason Schreier has not commented on the matter, but according to what he said, this project was sold as “ GTA Online meets Spider-Man ». An online game that was probably designed to evolve over a long period of time with the aim of involving a huge community.
The new Game+ appears in MS2 on PlayStation 5
If an MS3 or Spider-Verse multiplayer mode was canceled, other information may be incorrect, such as the distribution method of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. One of the images circulating on the Internet spoke of “a game that comes in two parts is divided”. . The first for the end of 2027 and the second for the end of 2028. An unconventional model in the world of video games that could significantly divide.
Until we learn more, Insomniac Games wants to support Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as much as possible and promises to release an update to New Game+ in early 2024. A big patch that will include this mode but also new features. “We have some news about the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 patch. We know players are looking forward to features like New Game+ and audio description, among others.” said the studio.
