According to new leaks, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 originally had several symbiote bosses and even some plot points that were cut from the game before its release last year. The sequel to Insomniac Games’ hit superhero game launched to rave reviews and massive support from fans in October and players are still enjoying the title and discussing the franchise. Observers are already speculating about possible Peter Parker storylines for Spider-Man 3, and plenty of gamers are already waiting for DLC for the current entry.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle has really hit the nail on the head when it comes to the voice of its iconic relic-hunting protagonist. 

An unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port derived from materials leaked in the recent Insomniac data breach is being scrapped. After two years of hype and eager anticipation, Spider-Man 2 finally launched on the PlayStation 5 to rave reviews in October. While it didn’t take home any honors at The Game Awards 2023, Spider-Man 2 was still well-regarded for updating the open-world gameplay formula of its predecessors and quickly became one of Insomniac’s highest-selling video games.

You know the phrase, “This is why we can’t have anything nice?” Well, that’s the feeling many game developers have felt over the last several years because hackers have come in and tried to ruin things for them in one form or another. You might recall when Rockstar Games was hacked, and alpha-based videos of their upcoming title hit the internet, causing all sorts of backlash when it did. Then, late last year, Insomniac Games was the latest victim of a hack, where a whole bunch of data was revealed about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and future games they might be producing.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the big heavy hitters for the Sony PlayStation platforms. PlayStation 4 saw the release of the first installment from Insomniac Games. It was such a big hit that it didn’t take long before they released Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Then, fast forward a bit, and we saw the official Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launch into the marketplace. That had quite a few fans eager to pick up a PlayStation 5 console alone to experience this game. Unfortunately, the famed development studio that brought these games out was recently hit with a ransomware attack. 

An unofficial PC port for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been shared online, well, it was until it quickly got removed.

The development of the unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port has ceased for the foreseeable future, and it is very unlikely ever to see the light of day.

The final movie of Sony's animated Spider-Verse trilogy, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse is still majorly under wraps with no official plotline or cast list, so much so star Jake Johnson is uncertain whether or not his character Peter B. Parker will even appear in the third installment.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Marvel's Spider-Man 2.Spider-Man 2 fans would love for Marvel’s Venom to have a traversal feature involving Venom’s wings. It’s a feature that would be unlike anything players have seen in Insomniac’s Spider-Man series thus far, as even web wings could not compete with actual flight.

Sony’s exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launched in 2023 and was hailed by reviewers and critics alike as one of the best action-adventure games where you play as the beloved web-slinger and his sidekick, Miles Morales. Unfortunately, experiencing the AAA title actually requires you to own a PlayStation 5 or the recently announced PlayStation 5 Slim. If you think owning the game and console is something you do not wish to undertake because of the high price, then a bundle deal on Amazon will solve your little conundrum.

Being immortalized as a Lego set or a Funko Pop! is a sign something has truly made it, and while they might not be up there with those stalwarts of the toy world just yet, Squishmallows are nipping at their heels. The soft toys are in high-demand, particularly the licensed ones tied to popular characters, and it seems Spider-Man is about to get a few more. Three new Spidey characters, transformed into Squishmallow's Hug Mee plushes.

Marvel is going Giant-Size in 2024 with a series of one-shots that bring back the classic Marvel Giant-Size branding. And kicking things off is Giant-Size Spider-Man #1, which pits Dylan Brock Venom against Miles Morales Spider-Man in a clash that calls back to the classic rivalry between Dylan's dad Eddie Brock and Miles' mentor Peter Parker.

You'd think considering the length of time Marvel has been a massive success - both before the MCU was even a thing and after it launched the franchise into the stratosphere - that pretty much every toy and collectible on the market would have teamed up with the creators of Earth's Mightiest Heroes by now, but no. Well, not until now. Youtooz, collectible figures modeled after countless iconic characters, previously didn't have any Marvel characters on its roster, but that changes today.

The Insomniac Games ransomware attack and subsequent leak continues to provide information on Marvel's Wolverine. The code analyzed by Reddit user VISCERAL appears to contain references to two clients having to be synchronized, which would only make sense in a multiplayer environment.

A new Venom Unreal Engine 5 fan concept video has been released, showing what fans could expect from this rumored title.

Though they’re wildly different games on the surface, Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2 are sequels representing massive achievements for their respective studios. In an IGN interview, Remedy’s Sam Lake and Insomniac’s John McAdam discuss some of the intricacies of game development, and how they dealt with having two protagonists.

Nearly two weeks ago, Burbank-based Insomniac Games, a renowned game developer with nearly thirty years of history, was the target of a ransomware attack.

Undisclosed sales figures for a number of first party PlayStation titles have leaked following Insomniac Games’ recent data breach, from Days Gone and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Bloodborne.

Details of Insomniac’s future games have been released onlin amidst a major data breach at the company, revealing further games based around Marvel characters, timing of the next Ratchet & Clank game, and when the studio will next look to build out a new IP.

Sunset Overdrive may not have enjoyed the sort of universal, mainstream critical and commercial success that developer Insomniac Games would go on to enjoy with its Spider-Man games, but in spite of its relatively lower-profile nature, it had its own dedicated fanbase- one that has been holding out hope for a sequel for nearly a decade at this point. And as it turns out, a sequel was indeed in development at Insomniac once.

The recent Insomniac ransomware leak has been an eye-wateringly large scale one, revealing details on a number of upcoming titles planned for the next decade or so – from Spider-Man games and an X-Men series to a new Ratchet and Clank instalment and a new IP – as well as undisclosed sales figures for previously-released titles like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Alongside that, much more recent sales figures for Insomniac’s latest release have also emerged.

While the big three console makers will sometimes crow about sales when it suits them, getting exact sales numbers out of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo is difficult. That said, thanks to the huge Insomniac Games ransomware leak, which has revealed the studio’s lineup for the next decade and much more, we now have solid sales figures for PlayStation up until approximately a couple of years ago.

Due to the ransomware attack on Insomniac Games, over 1.3 million files constituting 1.7 TB have been stolen and are now being leaked. These include sales numbers for first-party PlayStation titles, including Bloodborne. Developed by FromSoftware with Sony Japan Studio, it launched in March 2015 for PS4 and sold over two million copies by September.

Insomniac Games is not having a good time right now. The developer was hit recently by a ransomware group that stole a vast collection of documents. It was put up online for a week to get Sony to pay the group off. Unfortunately, it looks like the ransomware group went ahead and released the documents online, so details on upcoming titles like Wolverine have been posted, along with a roadmap of what’s to come, have emerged online. One of the leaked documents that have surfaced online is based on the development costs for their projects like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The recent Insomniac ransomware leak has been a massive one, with over 1.3 million stolen files (at roughly 1.67 terabytes) having been shared online by hackers. As part of that leak, unreleased updated sales numbers for a number of Sony titles have emerged.

Insomniac Games has enjoyed commercial success on a level it had never seen before with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games, but not all of its titles in the last decade or so have seen eye-watering sales. In fact, specifically where Sunset Overdrive is concerned, the money the studio has made off it is quite negligible, to say the least.

Due to changing release dates there will only be one MCU film released in 2024 - but it looks like a good one. Director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds are both returning with Deadpool 3 in July, and they're bringing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine along with them. Ahead of that, however, the Merc with a Mouth will be returning to the pages of Marvel Comics where he will be headlining a new ongoing series. 

Details of Insomniac’s future games have been released onlin amidst a major data breach at the company, revealing further games based around Marvel characters, timing of the next Ratchet & Clank game, and when the studio will next look to build out a new IP.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has been turned into a stop-motion animated short film, kind of. 

Insomniac Games has suffered a large-scale leak following a recent ransomware attack, and alongside plans for multiple major upcoming titles planned for the next several years, the leak also includes details on the development budgets and sales figures for a number of titles, both released and upcoming.

Insomniac Games was recently hacked by a ransomware group known as Rhysida, which claimed to have access to large amounts of internal, confidential data, including personal information of several employees. Following Insomniac’s refusal to pay for the return of the data, the hacker group has now released the vast majority of it online, as reported by Cyber Daily. In a statement provided to the outlet, the hacker group has said it viewed Insomniac as “an easy target”.

Insomniac Games has enjoyed incredible critical and commercial success with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games in recent years, and though 2021’s Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart did enjoy similar critical acclaim, it seems the action-platformer has failed to make an equal impact with its commercial performance.

A recent massive Insomniac leak has revealed several titles that the developer has lined up for the coming years, including multiple Spider-Man games, X-Men titles following up on Wolverine, a new Ratchet and Clank title, and a new IP. In addition to that, the leak has also spilled the beans on development budgets and sales figures for a number of the studio’s games.

Insomniac Games seems to be going all-in with Marvel licensed games, as many of the studio's next titles will be based on popular comic book properties.

Insomniac Games has been hit with a massive leak that reveals all of the games it has in development all the way through to 2032, including Wolverine, a Venom spin-off, a new Ratchet & Clank, and an X-Men game.

Insomniac Games was recently hit with a ransomware attack, following which internal documents from the studio have begun appearing online, leaking details on a number of unannounced plans for future titles.

Intense but unconfirmed speculation suggests Insomniac may be working on a Spider-Verse game, influenced by Sony’s recent batch of animated movies. Unverified information being shared online, purportedly part of a recent high-profile data breach, alleges that the title is in development – although we’ve been unable to corroborate anything, and the information is extremely loose.

The holidays are here and people -perhaps you- are finally able to buy consoles without jumping through huge hoops. But now the question arises: what games are you going to gift?

The former NPD Group (now named “Circana”) has released its full North American sales data for November, typically the biggest gaming month of the year, and surprisingly, the results weren’t that great. Players spent $5.9 billion on games, additional content, and hardware in November, a 9 percent year-on-year decrease. This was largely driven by a 24 percent drop in hardware spending, with all consoles being down double digits year-on-year. The PlayStation 5 was the #1 console, followed by the Xbox Series X/S, with the Switch really dropping off this season. It seems like inflation, and rumors that a new Switch is right around the corner, likely impacted hardware sales this year.

It looks as though a could be in the works at Insomniac Games, according to leaked details from the company.

God of Ragnarok: Valhalla has launched, mere days after its surprise announcement at The Game Awards, bringing a free, story-driven roguelite mode to the acclaimed action-adventure title that serves as an epilogue to the base game’s story. Interestingly enough, however, it seems the game’s story still might not be done.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac has reportedly been targeted by a hacking group that is threatening to leak details about Marvel's Wolverine.

Very few video game promotional products can actually make graphics better, but the official eyeglasses from Warby Parker can do just that. A tie-in between prescription glasses and a video game release is a different breed of cross-promotion from the norm, as fans usually see products aimed at children, like fast food restaurant toys or limited run cereals. This makes the Warby Parker collaboration stand out, since prescription eyeglasses are extremely practical, and can certainly do more to improve video game graphics than a new television.

Just like the original film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this year's much acclaimed sequel Across the Spider-Verse featured an impressive ensemble cast of characters. Whilst the likes of Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, and Peter B. Parker returned, there were also several exciting new additions from Pavitr Prabhakar (a.k.a. Spider-Man India) to Jess Drew (a.k.a. Spider-Woman). 

Marvel Comics is shoring up its Black History Month celebration for February 2024 with a new selection of variant covers featuring Black heroes from across the Marvel Universe, and drawn by Black artists.

Spider-Man 2 voice actor Tony Todd has fuelled speculation that a Venom spin-off game or DLC featuring the character could be in the works by claiming that only 10 per cent of his voice lines were used in the final release.

Tony Todd has revealed that a huge amount of the work he did for was cut from the final game. The horror icon appeared at Fan Expo San Francisco over the past weekend to talk about his role as Venom in the acclaimed superhero sequel and offered an insight into another storyline involving the symbiote and Miles Morales.

Fanatical is offering some of the best deals around on Sony's excellent PlayStation Studios games for PC.

Venom being Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s main antagonist was among the bigger reasons the game generated as much excitement in the lead-up to its launch as it did, and with the game now more than a month old, it’s fair to say that the iconic villain lived up expectations. Interestingly, however, it seems only a fraction of the voice recording that voice actor Tony Todd did for Venom made it into the final game.

It's time for the roundup of the best Black Friday 2023 gaming deals you'll find on the Web! This article will focus on two of the biggest North American retailers, Amazon and Walmart, picking the best offers for the most exciting games released in the past couple of years. We've also added a few PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X bundles.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is undoubtedly one of the biggest PlayStation 5 exclusives to come out recently. Off the success of the first game and Miles Morales' own title, the series has become immensely popular with avid and casual gamers alike. So, when you get a Black Friday discount on the PS5 Marvel's Spider-Man 2 bundle, you grab it with both webshooters!

Everyone loves a good sale, especially when it’s for those video games you wanted to buy but couldn’t justify spending a ton of money on. Thankfully, Steam has provided some amazing sales on top-rated games in its storefront.

PlayStation launched its annual Black Friday Sale, late last week, offering discounts of up to 70 percent on key titles on the PS4 and PS5. The promotion is live across some first, but largely third-party releases, and is slated to end November 28 on the digital storefront. God of War Ragnarök is a standout among the catalogue, available at a 38 percent discount for Rs. 3,099, tasking Kratos and Atreus on a journey to the Nine Realms to prevent the prophesied apocalypse. PS Plus Premium/ Deluxe members also get a three-hour free trial period, in case you feel like testing the waters. Those who only own an old-gen PS4, however, can opt for the dedicated version at Rs. 2,279.

The spin-off title isn't quite as long as its predecessor, but it still manages to juggle a handful of villains. Insomniac Games' first game in the series,, put players in control of an experienced Peter Parker, thus including a deluge of villains, including the Sinister Six. ' villain slate is comparatively modest, clocking in at a total of five, but this smaller cast works for the benefit of the spin-off's runtime and the constraints of its narrative.

The 2023 Steam Autumn Sale is now live, bringing new and returning deals on PC games. The event is live for a week, running until November 28 at 10:30pm IST, slashing prices by up to 85 percent on select titles. Blizzard's Diablo IV, which recently came to Valve's storefront, has gotten a 40 percent discount — Rs. 3,359 — tossing you into the hellish landscape of the Sanctuary to battle bloodthirsty monsters as a legendary horned demon Lilith, Queen of the Succubi comes into power. Lacklustre post-launch content has tarnished this game's reputation, so why not give it a test run with the six-day-long free trial? Bethesda's expansive space RPG Starfield has also received a first discount, setting you centuries into the future where humanity has begun thriving on other planets. It's available at Rs. 3,999 at a 20 percent discount.

10.21 million PC and console games were sold across Europe according to GSD, a slight drop of 2.3% year-on-year.

The Gfk has released (via GamesIndustry) the latest weekly physical sales data for the United Kingdom, as per which Hogwarts Legacy was the best-selling game in the region last week, thanks to a combination of the launch of its Nintendo Switch version and Black Friday discounts. In fact, as per GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, the open world RPG has enjoyed the 2023’s third-biggest physical launch for a Switch title in the UK, behind only The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. 

Insomniac had its work cut out for it with Spider-Man 2 . To say expectations were high going into this sequel is an understatement, buffered by both the first game's major success and the bridge between console generations that was Miles Morales. This new Spidey adventure had to take the best elements from those games, mix them with new characters, features, and stories, and produce the kind of game fans will talk about for years. Somehow, they did just that; Spider-Man 2 is, to get the easy pun out of the way early, amazing. 

Hogwarts Legacy is back at the top of the UK physical charts following its release on Nintendo Switch, plus Black Friday discounting, pushing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to second place.

Peter Parker and Miles Morales face several villains throughout . While most of these villains have complete arcs in the game's campaign or are used to set up future appearances in sequels or potential DLC, there is one villain who appears in the game but doesn't have a clear story arc ahead.

Prepare yourself, your wallet, and your loved ones, because we're just a few days away from the Steam Autumn Sale for 2023.

Last week, we asked you to share pictures of Miles Morales moving through the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 using #PSshare #PSBlog. Here are this week’s highlights:

It might seem odd that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 would still be dropping trailers for itself, given that it’s been out for almost a month. But the reasoning is simple: while they have sold an impressive number of units so far, there are always more people to try to sell the game to. Plus, some might have JUST gotten a PS5 and thus need to know some reasons to get the title. As such, Sony dropped a new “Immersion” trailer highlighting how the PS5 controller, among other things, will help you feel immersed in the world of the Spider-Men as you play the title.

Due to a technical situation at the charts company, we are using GfK data for physical game sales this month.

The greatest challenge for any discipline in game development is the ultimate demon: math. More specifically, exponential math. As the upper boundaries of game development have become more polished and detailed, the effort needed to meet higher bars of quality requires more assets, more content, and more resources—all variables that grow exponentially larger when designers try to support features built around player choice.

Spider-Boy has strange origins as a human-spider hybrid created by the sinister Madame Monstrosity, and now his hidden monstrous nature seems to be catching up to him in February's Spider-Boy #4 from writer Dan Slott and artists Paco Medina and Ty Templeton, which guest stars Miles Morales as seen on the just revealed cover of the issue by artist Humberto Ramos, seen below.

The release of DLC for could finally resolve a huge missed opportunity from. The second game released in Insomniac's series,, was an outstanding title; however, the base game was short and it lacked any DLC. This was compounded in the most recent game, by the fact that, for the most part, comes across as a Peter Parker-orientated game, with Miles being relegated to the unenviable position of being the game's secondary protagonist — especially during the main story sections concerning Harry Osborn and the game's primary antagonist, the sentient alien Symbiote known as Venom.

A concept artist has listed potential launch windows for two upcoming Sony Interactive Entertainment games on their ArtStation page.

Following the highly successful release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (labeled as the fastest-selling PlayStation first-party game ever), Insomniac is now busy working on Marvel's Wolverine.

Insomniac Games' is the latest in a series of video games that has done a phenomenal job of including a vast range of powerful adversaries for Peter Parker and Miles Morales to face — both universally known enemies and those that are little recognized outside the most dedicated Spider-Man fans. Despite this, there are a significant number of enemies that absolutely must feature in the inevitable sequel to the latest entry, — a few of whom have never made it into a game, but absolutely have the potential to be devastatingly powerful bosses that torment both Peter and Miles as well as New York.

While is one of the biggest releases of the year, it also came with a number of bugs, which a recent update has helped to alleviate — unfortunately, the patch has also removed a hidden exploit that allowed players to free-roam the city as Venom. The first game in the series to feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable protagonists, also had a major focus on adapting the popular symbiote storyline from the classic comics, including the introduction of iconic Spider-Man villain Venom alongside fellow Marvel antagonists Sandman and Kraven.

Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has explained why the sequel is missing so many costumes from the first game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, noting that it wasn't as simple as just porting them from one to the other.

The infamous cube glitch in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has reared its blocky head again.

features a solid roster of playable characters, but one minor inclusion is definitely way worse than the other options. Bouncing between a variety of protagonists was a concept first introduced in the original, which occasionally set Peter's story aside to follow the footsteps of Mary Jane Watson or Miles Morales. Neither of these offered gameplay that was quite as dynamic as Peter's, with Mary Jane's segments, in particular, receiving some flak, but improves both of these options while introducing another that falls behind either.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hit PlayStation 5 exclusively on October 20 – read Game Informer's review here to find out why we loved it so much. It turns out plenty of others enjoyed developer Insomniac Games' latest superhero effort, too, because Sony has revealed that in just 11 days, it sold through more than 5 million copies, making it one of the year's best-selling games.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has now sold over 5m copies.
