Marvel Fans Certain Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 DLC Has Been Canceled if One Thing Doesn’t Happen Today
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans may not be too happy with Sony's next State of Play event and seem resigned to the game not receiving an expansion.
- Fans of Insomniac's highly succesful take on Spider-Man prepare for some bad news at Sony's next State of Play event.
- While they have clamored for an expansion to the studio's 2023 release, the lack of any announcements has them pessimistic about its chances.
- Insomniac's current line-up of exciting projects is also a factor to consider, as the studio would want to focus its efforts without spreading itself too thin.
With Sony’s State of Play mere hours away, fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the highly successful sequel to Insomniac’s 2018 take on the neighborhood-friendly web-slinger, are hoping to finally learn some more about DLC for the 2023 title, although their hopes are tinged with a dash of pessimism.
Considering speculations that Insomniac may pass on an expansion for Spider-Man 2 in order to focus on Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, many players are preparing for the worst as they eagerly wait to learn more about what Sony has planned for its next few projects.
Is Insomniac Leaving a Great Opportunity Behind?
While rumors of DLC for Spider-Man 2 were inevitable considering the game’s success, leaks suggested that Insomniac may have originally had plans for an expansion considering the success of its expansion The City That Never Sleeps for the original game. However, the addition of ambitious new titles to its line-up may have forced the studio to put those plans on the back burner.
Fans of the hit 2023 title are certainly hoping to see a new chapter that continues the dynamic that Peter Parker and Miles Morales managed to establish in the base game, and see their bond develop further as they learn to work better together. However, opinions are divided on whether an expansion for the game could cause Insomniac to compromise on the quality of other equally anticipated titles.
A Potential End to an Agonizing Wait for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Fans
With nearly a year gone by since the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 as a PlayStation exclusive, the wait for any news regarding potential DLC for the game has been a long and punishing one for players who swung their way to victory over its excellent main campaign.
The post below showcases just how much players loved the game and how successful an expansion for it may have been and will be if Sony decides to announce it at the upcoming event.
One of the responses directly addresses other players’ concerns about potential dips in quality for the other titles that Insomniac has lined up for its fans.
Other players might continue to hold out hope even if the DLC is not announced at the State of Play event from the looks of things, although their reasons for doing so come from past experience.
Another player supports that argument with a few more reasons as to why Insomniac and Sony may have waited this long to bring the dream of an expansion for Spider-Man 2 to life, although the need for an announcement does seem to be a prevailing theme among the post’s responses.
It is a testament to Insomniac’s excellent work on Parker and Morales’ latest adventure that its fans continue to hold out hope for more of their well-established dynamic in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
However, they may have to deal with the sad reality that the studio has moved on to greener pastures with more delights to come in the future.
