SUMMARY
  • Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has multiple features that deserve praise, but one thing might have taken it to a new height.
  • A latest leak showed an unused code that should have been added to the game to make the fights more thrilling.
  • Despite Insomniac never talking about it, players started assuming why the Double Finisher was removed from the game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was one of the most successful games released in 2023. Insomniac Games has loads of exciting features in this game, but the most adored ones are the fighting style and attack features of Spider-Man. It seems like the game had more exciting fighting elements that were cut during development.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is completely satisfying from every aspect, and the 8.8 Metacritic user score further highlights this. However, a recent leak shows there were more impressive features that players could have gotten in the game, but they were removed for some reason.

Insomniac Games Cut a Feature From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 That Should Have Been Added

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was about to give players a powerful move that was removed in the final version.

Game development is a complex process, and before the final version of a title comes, it goes through several test processes. Generally, the unused codes never come to light, but for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, an interesting one came to the surface.

When the entire community is waiting for the highly hyped Marvel’s Wolverine, Reddit’s SpidermanPS4 community got an update that showed the unused code of the ‘Double Finisher’ move in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

A user called TheEternalVortex posted a clip of Spider-Man using an impressive Double Finisher to take enemies down.

The clip shows that, using this code, players would let their Spider-Man use two back-to-back finishing moves on two enemies given that they were in the perfect spot for that. This looks extremely fun and impressive to use in-game. With this, players might have been able to perform more powerful finishing moves on enemies. 

The moment players got to know about this move, they got upset about not getting the Double Finisher in the final game. They blamed people who were in the room when this was made and scrapped. 

Despite Insomniac never bringing this clip to light or talking about this move, fans tried finding out why it wasn’t added to the game. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Fans Dived Deep to Find the Reason Behind This Feature Being Cut

The Double Finisher might have been the game-changer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but Insomniac never said why it was removed.

The leaked code for the Double Finisher only confirmed that, at a point, Insomniac considered this move. Now, why this one got deleted from the final version is unknown. Maybe it wasn’t working properly, or the developers found it unnecessary. 

Since the clip came to light, players have dived into speculating the most potent reason behind deleting this one feature that should not have been gone. 

The most potent reason that players have thought of is the MJ missions. A large group of players revealed that giving MJ missions more priority is the only reason behind cutting this feature down. 

Some players even expressed that the reason behind the abolishment might be that the Double Finisher was way too powerful.

Some even expressed that the feature might not have been finished properly. So, it was removed.

No matter the reason, players are disappointed about not getting this powerful fighting mechanic. 

A lot of them hope to receive the fully developed version of the Double Finisher move in the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man games.
