Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 DLC May Be on the Backburner for Insomniac as Another Disappointing Update Leaves Fans Wondering
The wait for Spider-Man 2's DLC continues even as its fans lament the lack of new content for the game.
It’s been nearly a year since Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment enthralled fans with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. With a story that saw both Peter Parker and Miles Morales take on Kraven the Hunter and Venom in explosive set-pieces and a bevy of activities to complete in New York City, the game was an instant hit among fans of the iconic Marvel character.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was able to meaningfully build on what made its predecessor great while adding new mechanics to the game that garnered a lot of critical and commercial praise. However, Insomniac has yet to bring new content to the game despite its players hoping for a fresh adventure for its webslingers.
The Long Wait for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s DLC
Despite leaks after an update showcasing a new villain for the game, Insomniac Games has remained surprisingly quiet about any post-launch content for its latest chapter on Peter and Miles’ attempts to keep New York safe.
SUGGESTED: Spider-Man: The Great Web Would Have Featured One Hero That No Other Spider-Man Game Has Yet
While the main story gave players very strong hints about who would give their neighborhood-friendly heroes a run for their money in the next game, a recent response from Insomniac Games to a player inquiring about a new DLC chapter for Spider-Man 2 might disappoint a lot of players who continue to enjoy the game’s New Game Plus mode.
Could Spider-Man Be Making Way for Another Iconic Marvel Character?
With a Wolverine game already in the works over at Insomniac, the studio may just not have the manpower to release a full-fledged DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Considering the quality of expansions that the original game enjoyed with its post-launch content, it’s highly likely that the studio is wary of pushing for an expansion that could potentially not meet its high standards.

The post below on X from Insomniac Games showcases why the studio’s assertion that there were no plans for a DLC for Spider-Man 2 is a blow to die-hard fans of the game.
One player chose to reference a scene from a Marvel film that could sum up how fans of Spider-Man 2 feel in response to Insomniac’s statement.
Another player was more vocal with their opinion, choosing to point out how great the first game’s expansions were and how much the sequel’s fans were looking forward to post-launch content.
Another fan spoke out in support of Insomniac Games but with an interesting caveat that the studio might want to think about when considering future projects.
Another player continues to hold out hope, considering the wording of Insomniac Games’ statement.
It’s a testament to the quality of Insomniac Games’ work that its fans continue to expect more from it.
While there could be other reasons for a lack of DLC for Spider-Man 2, players would certainly hope that the studio can find a way to bring more to a game that has brought them many treasured memories.
