Spider-Man Fans Disappointed by DLC & Venom Absence at State of Play

Highlight

Last night's State of Play was relatively quiet, but did include some updates on first-party PlayStation games.
One of the biggest omissions from the showcase was Insomniac Games, despite there being evidence for an expansion to Spider-Man 2.
Fans are losing hope for the rumored Beetle DLC and are starting to assume that Insomniac has moved on to other projects.

Fans of Marvel's Spider-Man are feeling disappointed after the recent State of Play event failed to offer any news regarding the rumored DLC for Spider-Man 2 or the upcoming Venom game, both of which were expected to be showcased.

The State of Play was mostly focused on updates for first-party games like Astro Bot, Horizon, and Ghost of Tsushima, but it lacked any presence from Insomniac Games, a studio fans were anticipating news from.

Despite Spider-Man 2's recent release, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding Insomniac's future projects, especially since a data breach revealed details about their upcoming games, including the DLC for Spider-Man 2 and the Venom game.

Spider-Man Fans Are Discouraged About the Beetle DLC

The anticipated DLC for Spider-Man 2, rumored to feature The Beetle, has been a particular source of excitement for fans, especially considering it's been almost a year since the game's release.

Insomniac's absence from the State of Play has left Spider-Man fans feeling frustrated and lacking information. On the Marvel's Spider-Man subreddit, many posts express disappointment and a sense of "losing hope" regarding the DLC, with some even speculating it might be canceled.

One Redditor, josi1999, commented that they believe Insomniac has moved on to other projects and that support for Spider-Man 2 has ended. While this hasn't been confirmed, the high cost of Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation makes it possible that an expansion might not be deemed financially viable.

The subreddit also features calls for information about Wolverine and the leaked Venom game, although these projects are expected to be released in a few years. Overall, the message is clear: fans are eager for updates on Insomniac's projects, and they will likely have to wait until the next PlayStation showcase for any news.
