The new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update will add eight new suits for Peter and Miles when it launches on June 18. It includes four suits created by fashion designer Colm “KidSuper” Dillane with celebrity collaborators Vini Jr., Lando Norris, and Rina Sawayama.

What new suits are in the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update?

Insomniac Games showcased the new Spider-Man 2 suits in a blog post announcing the update. Miles Morales’ Metro Suit by KidSuper features a puffer jacket and a variety of color options. Players can choose between the default gold on white, red on black, teal on purple, and “classic Spidey.”

KidSuper collaborated with professional soccer player Vinícius “Vini Jr.” Júnior on Miles’ Ginga Suit. The suit’s default color scheme pays homage to the sport and Júnior’s homeland of Brazil. It also has alternate red-on-black, classic, and gold-on-white color schemes.

Looking at Peter’s new duds, British Formula 1 driver Lando Norris left his mark on Parker’s Fluro Suit. It features racing-inspired overalls and helmet and comes in green on black, white on black, pink on blue, and classic.

KidSuper also worked with Japanese-British singer and actress Rina Sawayama on Peter Parker’s Motorchic Suit. The new Spider-Man 2 suit gives Peter a leather jacket and overall motorbike-inspired look. Players can choose between the default red and black, red, black, and classic color schemes.

Meanwhile, the Spider-Man 2 update gives Peter Parker’s Last Stand suit inspired by the Earth-312500 version of Spider-Man. The default suit and leather jacket is red and black, though players can also choose full black, classic, and Arachno-Man yellow and green. Meanwhile, Miles Morales’ gold and black Uptown Pride suit is another fan favorite introduced in the Spider-Man 2 Update. It also comes in silver trim, black on red, and blue on pink versions.

Peter Parker’s Into The Spider-Verse suit copies his outfit from the 2018 animated movie. Players can also enable Film Style Animation mode to make it more authentic. Finally, Miles Morales’ Animated suit pays homage to the classic comics and cartoons.

Insomniac Games has released update v1.002.003 for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and one of the biggest fixes is to stop save files from disappearing.

A lengthy trailer for Insomniac Games‘ canceled Marvel’s Spider-Man multiplayer game has leaked online. Titled Spider-Man: The Great Web, the game’s existence was confirmed following a ransomware attack on Insomniac Games last December. This trailer is part of the files that hackers gained access to, and continue to leak to this day.

Spider-Man: The Great Web multiplayer previously described as ‘Spider-Man meets GTA Online’

We won’t embed the trailer here for obvious reasons but a copy can be found on Streamable (via Reddit). The trailer features voice work by Yuri Lowenthal, and it looks quite promising.

There had been a few rumblings of a Spider-Man multiplayer game, but nothing was confirmed until hackers gained access to an internal Insomniac Games presentation about the project. In the presentation, the game was described as “Spider-Man meets GTA Online,” and it was supposed to launch by 2026. The Great Web would have come with a Battle Pass, and would have received individual Marvel character-themed seasons every three months. Insomniac wanted to introduce a new story act every month, and had plans to release free content periodically as well.

According to journalist Jason Schreier, Spider-Man: The Great Web was canceled quite a while ago but we don’t know the reason for its cancellation.

The latest Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update for the PS5 has ended up confirming prior leaks of unannounced upcoming DLC. As reported yesterday, the update somehow launched with the game’s debug mode, scouring which has allowed players to see an entire villian arc that was previously referenced in a leaked Insomniac Games presentation.

What we know about Spider-Man 2’s upcoming DLC

Those who have yet to play Spider-Man 2 or don’t want the surprise element to be ruined should X out now.

Reddit user rodviguez decided not to heed Insomniac’s warnings against accessing Spider-Man 2’s debug mode and found a menu for “Beetle Villain Arc” that contains the following sections:

• Beetle Janice Intro
• Beetle Reveal
• Beetle Construction
• Beetle Ambush
• Beetle Battlefield
• Beetle Bridge
• Beetle Convoy
• Beetle Hostages
• Beetle Boss

The internal Insomniac presentation that was leaked as part of last December’s ransomware attack labeled this content “Beetle Infestation.” The DLC is supposed to include an open world mission and a boss fight.

Since things often change during the course of development, we can’t say if Insomniac still plans to release this DLC or not. However, considering this menu was found in Spider-Man 2’s latest update, there’s reason to believe that the developer is actively working on it.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 received a new update today, but with a great patch came a greater problem.

By simply pressing a couple of buttons, players have found they are able access the game’s Debug Mode. Insomniac Games has warned that doing this can corrupt your save files and mess up your trophy progress, but that hasn’t stopped others from messing around in the developer menu.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 debug mode may contain upcoming DLC hints

Despite the warning, several players have been tinkering with the game’s debug mode and have found what look like hints to upcoming DLC content. Some have found a story arc for a character that is yet to be seen in the game and details for this can be seen on ResetEra. Those details corroborate the name of one of three free DLC packs that were leaked in an internal Insomniac Games presentation back in December. The developer is yet to officially confirm that any DLC will be released for the game.

Other players have been messing around with the game in different ways. Some have discovered a Digital Foundry mode that displays the screen resolution and framerate. Others have turned on invincibility mode and altered other game parameters. Meanwhile, another used debug mode to skip to the game’s final cutscene and unlock the new “Once More, With Feeling” trophy for completing the game in New Game+ mode.

Insomniac has said “there’s a hotfix on the way” to patch out access to the debug mode. In the meantime the developer has said that “using this menu could corrupt your saves and trophy progress.” However, “there is no risk associated with playing the game as intended”.

Today’s version 1.002 update includes the aforementioned New Game+ mode as well as new story symbiote suit styles, golden gadget styles, a shared Suit Tech slot, mission replay, photo mode updates, and plenty more.

Insomniac Games worked to make a quality update

Originally set to release in 2023, Insomniac Games instead delayed the release of the update to make sure it was up to par with their standard of quality.

“We have been working vigilantly on these features and require more testing to ensure the quality is up to our standards,” their statement read at the time. “We’ve heard your feedback and will be adding some highly requested features.” Insomniac said that it plans to share a complete list of new features closer to the patch’s release and thanked fans for their patience.

In other Insomniac news, the studio has reportedly been a victim of a ransomware attack, with hackers allegedly gaining access to Wolverine PS5 materials as well as employee info and secret projects. Sony has said that it is investigating the attack.

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Insomniac Games have announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 sales have crossed another milestone. The superhero hit has surpassed 10 million copies sold on the PS5 alone since launch in late October, 2023.

Spider-Man 2 sales impress, but Sony says there’s room for improvement among studios

Insomniac Games celebrated the news on Twitter, and revealed that its Spider-Man series has now crossed 50 million copies sold. The previous entries — Spider-Man 1/Remastered and spin-off Miles Morales — are both available on PC. Spider-Man 2’s PC version has yet to launch.

While Insomniac celebrated the news, SIE chairman and Sony Group CFO Hiroki Totoki expressed some concern about the gaming division’s profit margins and highlighted a need to cut costs. Sony’s first-party blockbusters have somewhat become synonymous with massive budgets and Totoki recognizes that there’s room for improvement when it comes to “sustainable profitability.”

“People who work in the studios have very high motivation,” Totoki said. “They’re very good people, and they’re very creative people. However, having said that, when it comes to the business itself, I think there is room for improvement, and that’s got to do about how to use the money or about the schedule of development or how to fulfill one’s accountability towards development, etc.”

Insomniac Games has announced the release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s new game plus update, which will include many more features.

In a recent tweet, Insomniac Games revealed that the update would release on March 7, 2024. Alongside the inclusion of a New Game+ mode, the update will also include some other highly requested features like new suits and more.

Last year, Insomniac Games also noted that things like the ability to change the time of day, swap tendril colors, and replay missions are all being worked on and added into the game.

PS Plus Premium members, specifically those who have a PS5, can enjoy chunky game trials for two of 2023’s major video games: Alan Wake 2 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. While Alan Wake 2’s free trial is live, players will have to wait until next week to give Spider-Man 2 a shot.

New PS Plus Premium game trial lengths offer a good look at the games

Alan Wake 2’s PS Plus trial is three hours long. For those who haven’t been following the game, Alan Wake 2’s main story can be beaten in under 20 hours so this trial is a decent-sized slice. Spider-Man 2’s game trial, which will go live on Tuesday, February 6, will be two hours long. Its main story is roughly the same length as Alan Wake 2’s (17-18 hours, depending on playstyle).

It’s unclear how long the trials will be available but Sony says Spider-Man 2’s trial will be available for a limited time only, calling it a “Valentine’s celebration” on the PlayStation Blog. All campaign progress and trophies from trials carry over to full games, if players proceed to purchase them.

As a reminder, PS Plus Essential’s monthly games for February will also go live on Tuesday, the 6th.

Hogwarts Legacy beats Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to be the best-selling US PS5 game on the PS Store for 2023, as well as on PS5 and PS4 in Europe. The news comes just days after it was revealed that Hogwarts Legacy was the first non-Call of Duty or Rockstar-developed title to top the US sales chart since 2008.

PS5 and PS4 PS Store top downloads in 2023

Hogwarts Legacy takes the top spot in the PS5 downloads chart in North America, although Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 beats it in the PS4 chart. This result comes as little surprise following the reveal of the US sales chart at the end of last week. The US sales charts are usually dominated by the latest Call of Duty title or the newest game developed by Rockstar. However, Hogwarts Legacy became the first best seller to fall outside of those categories since Rock Band in 2008.

Elsewhere in the PS Store charts, EA Sports FC 24 took the top spot for both PS5 and PS4 in Europe. Meanwhile, the biggest first-party release for Sony was Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which hit #3 in North America and #5 in Europe. These are the top PlayStation Store downloads for PS5 and PS4 for 2023:
