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.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Script Leak Reveals Previous Version With More Venom Focus!
26.02.2024 - 17:39 / gameranx.com / Peter Parker
When it comes to big game releases, there are sometimes titles that get the “Oh my gosh, this is amazing!” statement when they first arrive, and then, over time, that feeling changes. Why is that? Well, it’s partially because some people are just so hyped to get the game that they enjoy everything for what it is at first but then slowly realize that some flaws are holding the game back. A certain title from Bethesda in 2023 comes to mind on that front, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the title we’re talking about right now.
On the one hand, Insomniac Games definitely made a banger title with the Spidey sequel. It featured improved graphics and gameplay mechanics; it brought even more villains to life so that they could make New York seem fresh again; it even added more of the New York boroughs to explore, etc. Furthermore, including the Symbiote Suit and watching Peter Parker do a “long fall” from grace, all so that he could basically hand off the torch to Miles Morales for the next title, was a nice move.
However, the one flaw many people have pointed out about the game is Venom. The character was teased for the title since the first announcement trailer, but if you look at how much Venom is in the game, you’ll be rather disappointed. Many today note that while the game is great and deserves many nominations at game award shows, the use of Venom in the third act is rather “rushed,” and they wonder why Insomniac did that.
On Reddit, the leak that hit Insomniac Games reared its ugly head once again, as someone was able to find the first script for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and post it online. You’ll notice that Venom is more prominent in this script, and Kraven wasn’t even in the title. As such, many wonder whether it would’ve fixed the game’s issues had this one moved ahead.
While we won’t spoil anything this game script had, we will say that some Redditors thought this was the better of the two options, while others thought it “still had the same flaws” as before with Venom and such.
Another element to think about here is that we KNOW more Venom lines were recorded and that a Venom spinoff is apparently in the works. So, did Insomniac pull a “feint” with the main story just so they could have a spinoff title? You decide.

Spider-Man: The Great Web Co-op Game Leak Looks Like Solo Titles, Introduces Spider-Gwen
Does a co-op multiplayer Spider-Man game from Insomniac sound like something you’d want to play? Well, sorry, while it was in the works, it’s no longer in production. For a while we heard rumblings a multiplayer Spidey project was happening, but then as part of Sony’s recent step back from their (over) ambitious live service plans, the project was reportedly canceled. And that would usually be that, but the massive Insomniac Games leak from late last year is still yielding new information, including a trailer for that canceled multiplayer project, entitled Spider-Man: The Great Web.

A concept trailer for Insomniac’s canceled Spider-Manmultiplayer game has just leaked online, giving fans a glimpse into what the ambitious project could have been like. Insomniac’s series of open-world Spider-Man games have earned critical acclaim from fans of Marvel’s legendary web slinger, starting with the successful Marvel’s Spider-Man back in 2018.

Spider-Man: The Great Web Multiplayer Trailer Leaks, Includes Spider-Gwen

Amongst the chaotic discussion over ethical news coverage and the headline reveals of an upcoming Venom game and a major leak of Wolverine development footage, the multiplayer game didn't gain too much traction.
