Silknigth has shared some interesting new information on Spider-Man: The Great Web.
On Twitter, Silknigth made this seemingly anonymous comment:
“I don’t usually comment on stolen information, but asserting so decisively that an unannounced game is canceled doesn’t seem right to me.
Absolutely, developments go through many phases, and over time, they often transform into something different.
Or become part of something else.”
Upon follow up, Silknigth confirmed that this is about “Spiderman MP”, which, of course, refers to Spider-Man: The Great Web.
We had just posted about the two trailers of Spider-Man: The Great Web. Lest we forget, both these trailers come from the Rhysida ransomware leak of Insomniac Games. We are at the point where Pandora’s Box has opened and we cannot avoid talking about this game anymore, but it was worth reminding you, our dear reader, about these circumstances.
Even before these trailers came out, we learned from earlier leaks that there was a cancelled Spider-Man multiplayer game. This is only one of several casualties at Insomniac Games, which is itself a consequence of Sony’s struggles with their PlayStation business at the moment.
The trailers are very similar, and it certainly looks like one of them came after, since it had more animation. In any case, the general idea for Spider-Man: The Great Web is one where the different Spider-People from across the multiverse team up to fight their greatest enemies. It also appears to be an online multiplayer co-operative PvE game, which is a popular genre that obviously has huge mainstream appeal with the Spider-Man license attached to it.
So, Silknigt’s claims are certainly encouraging, that maybe we could see something that resembles this project pitch someday. Maybe this is what has become of that online component of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, though that may be too optimistic.
It may be the case that this title has been attached to an unannounced project, so we really won’t know what it will be until Insomniac and Sony officially announces it. Or, perhaps, the project may still look something like this, but with changes to budget and scale so that it can be more feasible and Sony can make a clearer profit off of it.
While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are obviously popular, Sony has planned their projects poorly. They will now be more discriminating in how they handle their license, including budgeting with the Disney royalties into account, and looking for titles that will provide a clearer return on investment, so future projects will likely be smaller.
We hope we can see these ideas brought back in some way by Insomniac in the future.

Some recent updates made by Bandai Namco have suggested a possible release date for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero will be announced soon. Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero was officially announced during The Game Awards 2023 event, and Bandai Namco has been giving fans a steady stream of information about the game throughout 2024. These include a small portion of Sparking Zero's enormous playable roster, the gameplay mechanics, and some of the transformations for characters like Goku and Vegeta. While an official release date hasn't been given yet, some evidence has suggested it may be soon, such as the game's rating.
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.
Sony Pictures Entertainment has revealed when the eight live-action movies will each be returning to theaters through a new trailer. Tickets are now available online.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developers have taken to the stage at GDC, shedding some light on their work. This includes an interesting tidbit about the development of the Sandman boss, and how challenging it was to balance the fight in the villain's favour.
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.
