Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is being talked about again after a new wave of leaks hit the internet. It gives us a good idea of what’s coming next, but it certainly makes us wonder what could happen soon.
At the end of last year, the Insomniac studio suffered a major hack. A lot of data then ended up circulating, revealing information about a unfortunately canceled Marvel’s Spider-Man multigame or even Marvel’s Wolverine, the next highly anticipated game. But the Weaver’s third adventure also caused a lot of buzz and it seems that today other elements have also made their way onto social networks.
WARNING – Spoilers. We’re not giving away the images here, but what they refer to. For those who haven’t done Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 yet, it’s better to refrain from doing so so as not to be spoiled. You’ve been warned.
Images that give an idea of what Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 could be
As discovered by Insider GamingA handful of gameplay images from pre-production have been discovered and shared online. They highlight a female character, Silk aka Cindy Moon. If the name Silk doesn’t mean anything to you, the name Cindy Moon may have resonated with those who have completed the game, and that’s normal. The young woman appears briefly at the very end of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in a post-credits scene. She is invited to dinner with Miles, who then gets to know her. Like Morales in the first game, Silk could well be the next heroine of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3.
In the comics, Silk is bitten by the same spider that bit Peter Parker. She then develops powers and becomes Spider-Woman. Her abilities are a little different from Peter’s, but still pretty close. A spider-sense, extraordinary agility, more strength, an overdeveloped spider-sense or even the ability to weave her own webs. In certain comics, she also has the ability to sense Peter’s presence thanks to a very special bond that unites her with Peter. A heroine who would therefore have her place in Insomniac’s Spiderverse. On paper, it still sells itself as a dream.
A bright future for the franchise, but nothing has been decided yet
If Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 has not yet been announced, it seems obvious that it will be soon. The saga has been on the rise since the first installment and the games are a hit. In his third installment, Silk could therefore make a notable appearance. In the images found by Insider Gaming, we see it twirling in the air. Some will also recognize the animations of Mile Morales. Nothing could be more normal, these are clearly prototype images in a stage that is obviously not yet advanced. In addition, it is good to keep in mind that if the images actually exist, and there have indeed been a lot of leaks after the Insomniac hack, there is no guarantee that all this will be repeated in the future. If they are indeed images of a game that we have not yet seen, the ideas may change drastically by then.
What is definitely true, though, is that it gives us an idea of what’s coming next and the direction Insomniac might be heading in. We know that the studio knows its subject matter and intends to create an entire universe. It has also been confirmed that Marvel’s Wolverine will be included. We can therefore expect to see more and more diverse, playable heroes in the studio’s Marvel games, enough to make fans’ mouths water.
