Marvel’s Spider-Man 2was released nearly a year ago and the gaming community has since recovered from the emotional turmoil and is ready for more content. Unfortunately, the game developers never made promises or even entertained the idea of an expansion leaving fans disappointed even more after months of radio silence.
The original game was a superhero masterpiece and the game developers extended the story with a series of expansions calledThe City That Never Sleeps, and it was a perfect holdoff until the next major project. Fans likely assumed that the same treatment would be given to the sequel.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Should Dial Back on the Demand for a Story Expansion
Sonyhad a strong output of first-party exclusives from the previous console generation and is eager to ride the same lightning of success for the PlayStation 5 lifecycle. The studio suffered from a terrible cyberattack that leaked all plans and sensitive personnel information, andamong those leaks was aMarvel’s Spider-Man 2DLCinvolving Tombstone.

However, nothing was set in stone and things could be changed. Game development is not for the faint of heart and can be a cut-throat business. Not everything will go as planned and Insomniac Games did not anticipate suffering a hack of this magnitude.
This is where the gaming community should be more open-minded and exercise patience, not pestering the game developers for an unannounced story expansion.
I am so sick of this.1. Insomniac NEVER officially confirmed MSM2 would receive Story DLC.2. Insomniac is currently “all hands on deck” with Wolverine.3. Other DLC for first party PlayStation games have taken just as long, if not longer (no one complained then).4. They…https://t.co/NIM6N4llqB
The gaming community is a tough crowd to please and can be entitled to the most part. The recent patches inadvertently reveal plans for a potential expansion. However, the developers did not publicly discuss nor entertain the possibility of an expansion, and these leaked plans could have been moved indefinitely or scrapped.
The developers did what they could regarding post-launch support and released a New Game Plus mode anda new batch of cosmetic itemsinstead of story content. This may not be the content the player base is after but it is still worth applauding despite the recent problems the developers encountered.
Fans Should Accept the Possibility of the Lack of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 DLC in the Coming Months
It is worth noting that the game developers are reportedly all hands on deck onMarvel’s Wolverine, which takes place within the same universe. Despite all the hacks and cyberattacks, the developers were pleased to announce thatthe game development is going welleven after early gameplay builds leaked online months ago.
Not Insomniac’s Marvel’s Wolverine or Even Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool & Wolverine, but Another Interpretation Perfected the Character in a Game Years Ago
PlayStation could have asked the developers to leave the project and shift their focus to something else. The game ended on a positive note leaving the fates of certain characters ambiguous for the most part, evenYuri Lowenthal has no ideawhere the next chapter will take Peter next.
Insomniac Games has been through enough and the fans are not making it any better if they asking for something they never promised. Trust and respect goes both ways. Perhaps an expansion is still possible but it is behind schedule. The sequel was great and could benefit from a DLC but the developers have the final say.
