Footage of Insomniac's seemingly cancelled live-service Spider-Man: The Great Web appears online

PlayStation's Days Gone and Syphon Filter developer Bend Studio is seemingly working on a PlayStation live-service game.

A job listing for the unannounced new IP from Sony Bend, the studio behind Days Gone and Syphon Filter, indicates that it will feature live-service elements.

A new theory surrounding one of 's suits could predict an upcoming story in Insomniac's Universe. Throughout all three of Insomniac's titles, both Peter Parker and Miles Morales have had collectible suits inspired by their appearances in comics, movies, and TV, alongside Insomniac's own designs.

Fast traveling, one of the most impressive features of both the PlayStation 5 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, was also a point of much discussion in development and almost cut as a result. While the PlayStation 5's processing speed allows for quicker gameplay, developers of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 worried that this might lead to less player engagement. The game's design director commented on this.

Following their big moment at the end of Amazing Spider-Man #45, the Sinister Six are officially returning with their classic line-up of Doctor Octopus, Sandman, Vulture, Electro, Kraven, and Mysterio in Amazing Spider-Man #51.

Funko’s newly announced line of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Pops includes Miles Morales’s infamous Evolved Suit from the end of the game. Just like Insomniac’s previous Marvel offerings, Spider-Man 2 gives fans a collection of alternate attires for its two web-slinging protagonists, many of which were pulled directly from the various Spider-Man comics, cartoons, and films. Others were created exclusively for the game, such as the “Evolved” costume that Miles dons during Spider-Man 2’s Symbiote-centric third act.

Spider-Man: The Great Web has been a big talk lately, especially after its cancellation. However, fans, everyone keeps hyping up what this game could have been in hopes maybe Sony will pick it back up, but it seems iffy. This game would have been the first Spider-Man to be multiplayer recently, allowing you and a friend to both play as a Spidey, whether that be Peter Parker himself or another from the Spider-Verse.

The developers of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 revealed that they struggled to get the Sandman boss fight right due to how fast Spider-Man is. During this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC), associate animation director for Insomniac Stephen Camardella revealed that it was incredibly hard to get the pacing of the fight against Sandman in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 just right. Camardella states that due to Spider-Man's speed, it was a challenge to make sure the fight was fair and fun.

Concept art for Insomniac’s canceled Spider-Man multiplayer game has just been leaked online, including a possible look at the title’s character creation screen. Insomniac infamously fell victim to a massive ransomware attack just a few months after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swung onto the PlayStation 5, exposing much of the developer’s plans for future Marvel video games. Among already confirmed titles like Marvel’s Wolverine and long-suspected projects centered around Venom and the X-Men was a game that Insomniac had reportedly already canceled long before the data breach: an online multiplayer title called Spider-Man: The Great Web.

Between the release of 's New Game Plus update accidentally granting players access to the game's developer menu, and the hacker group Rhysida sharing over a terabyte of files, players have got a better idea of what features were removed from Insomniac's superhero sequel. These leaks have also revealed other games in the works at Insomniac, such as a canceled, type multiplayer title, and a potential spin-off.

Concept art for Spider-Man: The Great Web has revealed that it would have let players create their own unique Spider-persona instead of just customising Peter, Miles, and Gwen.

Following the leaks for Insomniac's canceled , players have been able to get a better idea of what the studio's multiplayer game would have entailed, with a multiversal storyline featuring some of the most popular Spider-people battling iconic foes. While many fans have expressed their disappointment with the cancelation of the game, leading to online petitions to bring it back, Insomniac and Sony's decision may have been the right call.
