Insomniac's Spider-Man And Wolverine Games Are In The Same Universe, Dev Confirms

Spider-Man vs. Venom is a rivalry that's been going on for over 30 years - but not quite like this, as Dylan Brock, the current Venom and son of Eddie Brock, is going toe-to-toe with Peter Parker's Spider-Man protege, Miles Morales, in January.

The latest Marvel's Spider-Man 2 patch has brought back the Nelson and Murdock sign, raising questions about why the Easter egg was missing at launch.

Insomniac Games released Marvel's Spider-Man 2, its eagerly awaited sequel to 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, on October 20 to critical acclaim. The first-party title has also become the fastest selling PlayStation Studios title in PlayStation history, shipping over 2.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release, Sony Interactive Entertainment confirmed. On the back of the success of Spider-Man, Insomniac is already looking ahead to its future releases. The Sony-owned studio had announced via a reveal trailer in 2021 that it was working on a Wolverine game. Now, Insomniac has confirmed that the title will be set in the same universe as Spider-Man 2.

In , while looking for Dr. Curt Connors in his Astoria home, you'll come across the scientist's secret door, which requires you to solve the Piano Puzzle to be unlocked. This puzzle, on the other hand, is not like the others you've encountered so far in the game. It has a secret reference to a Piano somewhere in the house. Once you've discovered that, you'll know which color combination to press to open the door.

is replete with additions and improvements to the previous titles from developer Insomniac Games, but one feature that isn't present is a huge missed opportunity. The newest entry expands on its predecessors by putting both Peter Parker and Miles Morales at the forefront, testing their mettle and web-slinging prowess against threats new and old. From a world with increased density and scale to developments like seamless fast travel that can jump to any point on the map, Insomniac Games pushed the envelope in many ways while failing to implement an age-old option that generates fun.

The Spider-Man IP has shot Insomniac Games into the stratosphere, bringing the studio (and Sony in turn) incredible critical and commercial success. The developer is, of course, far from done with Marvel, because not only will it inevitably make a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 and potentially even a Venom spinoff, it’s also confirmed to be working on Marvel’s Wolverine.

features an impressive lineup of suits for Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but one great option from the first game is bafflingly absent. Switching up styles is a great way to shake up the feeling of web-slinging, and a variety of styles from different sources across history make it easy to do so. The very best suits bring iconic looks to life in game with accuracy and panache, occasionally even utilizing different styles for lighting or animation to truly carry across the nature of their inspiration.

Since Insomanic revealed its Wolverine game two years ago, fans have wondered if it’s set in the same universe as the studio’s Spider-Man games. In an interview with Kinda Funny, Spider-Man 2 director Bryan Intihar confirmed the answer is yes

Spider-Man 2 creative director, Bryan Intihar has confirmed that Insomniac‘s Spider-Man games take place in the same universe as its upcoming Wolverine game.

Insomniac has now confirmed that the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine will take place in the same universe as the studio's Spider-Man games.

Despite passionate romances, a little bit of body horror, and plenty of scares (Doc Ock’s surgery scene in Raimi’s Spider-Man 2, anyone?), Spider-Man has generally been a family-friendly superhero franchise. Peter Parker certainly has an “Aw, shucks” energy to him, and the Spider gang is usually made up of young people trying to make their way in the world (or high school, or college). The games also go to great lengths to show you the goons you fight are ultimately unharmed — throw (or kick) someone off a building, and they will automatically get webbed to a nearby surface on their way down.

It’s hard to believe it’s been a week since Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 released on PS5, alongside a certain other game on the Nintendo Switch, but that’s another article. The game has been desired ever since the first game came out, and the Miles Morales-themed spinoff tided us over. Insomniac Games wanted to do everything they could to make the game feel “better,” “grander,” and more. Based on all accounts, they succeeded. The game is rated highly on Metacritic and sold 2.5 million copies in just its first day! So yeah, it’s doing pretty well for itself.
