With The Sinister Six As Main Villains
In the twoshort dawdler that were sharedbyokangel12345anddanoka29on the insomniacleaks Subreddit , players got a greater idea of whatSpider - Man : The Great Web ’s narrative would have been and which wanderer - citizenry would have been involved .

In the first dawdler , this narration discusses assembling a group of wedge to stop a supervillain prison fault , name - dropping a more " methodical " and " savage " version of the Sinister Six as the chief villains of the game .

How Would The Great Web Fit Into Insomniac’s Established Storyline?
Several Elements Don’t Match Up With Spider-Man 2’s Story
It ’s unclear howSpider - Man : The Great Webwould link into Insomniac ’s found storyline , as Peter Parker is shown still wearing his black symbiote courtship , but several villains who appear in the secret plan ’s variant of the Sinister Six would have been killed by Kraven by this full point , and Harry Osborn would n’t have become Venom until after Peter transfer the symbiote .
The Sinister Six demonstrate inThe Great Web ’s first trailer was the same as the one inMarvel ’s Spider - Man , which consist of Doc Ock , Mr. Negative , Vulture , Shocker , Scorpion , and Electro , butThe Great Webswapped out Mr. Negative for Venom , which could have aligned with Martin Li ’s redemption arc at the last ofMarvel ’s Spider - Man 2 . In the 2nd laggard , Prowler was also show as a possible baddie in the roster , which would n’t mate up with his arc acrossMarvel ’s Spider - Man : Miles MoralesandMarvel ’s Spider - Man 2where he gives up his life of criminal offense after being inspired by his nephew ’s grand actions .
Mysterio also seem several times in trailers and the pitch , suggesting he would have play a larger persona , potentially go against his arc inMarvel ’s Spider - humankind 2as well .

Insomniac Becoming A Live-Service Studio Could Have Impacted Its Output
The Studio Has Been Responsible For Many Of PlayStation’s Exclusives In Recent Years
A full tar presentation shared bydanoka29on the aforementioned Subreddit further let out the sort of titleSpider - Man : The Great Webwould have been , describing it as a " AAA Premium Multiplayer , Open - World Action Adventure " and " Marvel ’s Spider - Man meets GTA Online " with the intent to be the ultimateSpider - Mansandbox . Players would also have been capable to customize their wanderer - persona to make it their own , as demonstrated by Miles wearing a Au mask with a biker jacket in one picture .
The slideshow cash in one’s chips on to show " season " such as " Madness of Mysterio " , showing thatInsomniac was developing the rubric as a live - service secret plan . While fans did seem to like the trailer , it ’s unreadable how such a model would have been received bySpider - Manplayers when put into practice . Marvel ’s principal rival , DC , recently undertake to convert its acclaimed individual - playerBatman : Arkhamseries into a live - service model withSuicide Squad : Kill the Justice League , which underperformed , potentially doom that serial if Warner Bros. Discovery opts to cancel succeeding season before it could tell its story due to its deficiency of player .
TheMarvel ’s Spider - Mangames have been enormously profitable for Sony , but a alive - servicing title could easily oversaturate the series with constant seasonal events , pee a future mainline single - musician deed such asMarvel ’s Spider - Man 3feel less of an event . Maintaining such a title would also consume a vast amount of Insomniac ’s resources , which could abridge its output elsewhere , specially withMarvel ’s Wolverine , which could link up into anX - Menseries , andRatchet and Clank .

Another of PlayStation ’s first - company studios , Naughty Dog , canceled its live - serviceThe Last of Usgame , which was intend as a much larger version of the first game ’s popularFactionsmultiplayer mode for a similar ground , put forward that the company would rather tell more of its acclaimed unmarried - player , story - aim games rather than becoming springy service studio . Over the years , Insomniac has also prove its strengths lie in telling cinematic single - player narration , so it would be a shame to see them forced to put this away to focus on support a live service title likeSpider - Man : The Great Web .
