[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65203, member: 1"] Insomniac Games made the shock announcement last week that [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/spider-man-2']Marvel’s Spider-Man 2[/URL] won’t get any additional story content, putting to bed fan hopes for DLC. The announcement came in the same breath that [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/spider-man-2-pc-officially-announced-with-january-release-date']Sony announced a PC version of Spider-Man 2[/URL] launches in January — one of the quickest turnarounds from single-player PS5 exclusive to PC from the company so far. Since Spider-Man 2 came out in September 2023, Insomniac has released a number of updates for the game, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/spider-man-2-patch-1002000-adds-new-game-mission-replay-new-suits-and-more']adding New Game+, mission replay, new suits, and more[/URL]. But fans had hoped that story DLC would give them more of a reason to return to Insomniac's wonderful recreation of New York that the addition of new features. Now, those hopes have been dashed. But fans hadn’t just hoped for Spider-Man 2 story DLC, they expected it after the game itself left a number of threads that Insomniac might have pulled on for additional content, including the introduction of Carnage. Beyond that, though, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/insomniac-hackers-release-stolen-data-leak-wolverine-videos-future-projects-and-more']the devastating Insomniac data breach of December 2023[/URL], which revealed the studio’s upcoming slate of releases, and the accidental release of Spider-Man 2’s development game menu earlier this year, all pointed to planned DLC.

Insomniac was one of a number of PlayStation studios hit by the cuts. Alongside the layoffs, a number of in-development games were canceled, Sony said at the time. Now, a year after Spider-Man 2’s release and over 11 million sales, fans are waving goodbye to the game, issuing their verdict now they know there’s no more story content to come. IGN’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/marvels-spider-man-2-review']Spider-Man 2 review[/URL] returned an 8/10. We said: “Marvel's Spider-Man 2 delivers Insomniac's best tale yet, and despite its open world falling short, is a reliably fun superhero power trip.” Insomniac was reportedly planning to release Marvel's Venom in 2025, Marvel's Wolverine in 2026, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 in 2028, a new Ratchet & Clank in 2029, Marvel's X-Men in 2030, and an untitled new IP in 2031/2032, but those plans may have changed significantly. So, what’s next? While Insomniac has a [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/marvels-wolverine'][U]Wolverine game[/U][/URL] in the works, fans are hoping the developer will also release a Marvel’s Spider-Man spinoff similar in scope to the hugely successful [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/spider-man-miles-morales'][U]Miles Morales standalone[/U][/URL], with [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/tony-todd-tells-fans-insomniac-used-only-10-of-his-venom-dialogue-in-marvels-spider-man-2'][U]Venom the potential focus[/U][/URL].
