No DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: The Official Statement
Insomniac Games’ Aaron Jason Espinoza, the Senior Community Manager, confirmed this news via the PlayStation Blog in a post discussing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s upcoming PC release. Espinoza made it clear, stating:
“While we have no additional story content planned for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we’re delighted to bring all of our previously released post-launch content to the PC version, including New Game+, new suits and color variants, Photo Mode features, and more.”
This confirmation puts an end to the speculation and repeated fan requests for DLC, revealing that Insomniac has no current plans for additional story-driven content for the highly successful PlayStation 5 title.
Fans' Expectations and the Original Spider-Man DLC Rollout
The lack of DLC might surprise many fans, especially considering the post-launch support Marvel’s Spider-Man (2018) received. The original game had a trio of story-driven DLC expansions bundled as Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps. Released shortly after the game, these DLC packs launched between October and December 2018, keeping fans engaged with additional narrative content.
With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releasing a year ago, many expected a similar DLC rollout around this time, but those hopes were dashed with the recent announcement.
Why No DLC? Insomniac’s Focus on Marvel’s Wolverine
So why no DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? The answer might lie in Insomniac Games’ current development schedule. The studio is hard at work on its next big project: Marvel’s Wolverine. Originally announced several years ago, details have been sparse, but recent rumors suggest that fans might see more of the game soon.
With Marvel’s Wolverine potentially nearing a big reveal, Insomniac’s focus is likely on delivering another massive PlayStation exclusive, making the decision to skip DLC for Spider-Man 2 more understandable.
What’s Still Coming: PC Version and Other Features
While story content won’t be expanding, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 still has exciting updates in store, particularly for PC players. The upcoming PC release will include a variety of features like New Game+, new suits, color variants, and expanded Photo Mode options. These additions will allow players to dive deeper into the game’s mechanics and customization options.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Insomniac’s Marvel Games
Though no story DLC will arrive for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, fans can look forward to Insomniac’s future projects, especially with Marvel’s Wolverine on the horizon. While the lack of additional content may feel like a shift compared to the first Spider-Man game, Insomniac’s ongoing work on the Marvel universe promises new adventures in the near future.
Key Highlights:
- Insomniac Games confirms no story DLC for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
- PC version will include previously released content like New Game+ and new suits.
- Insomniac’s focus has shifted to developing Marvel’s Wolverine.
Despite the absence of DLC, Insomniac’s commitment to expanding its Marvel games universe ensures that fans still have a lot to look forward to.
