The Insomniac hack from last year revealed exciting intel on games for fan-favorite characters like Wolverine, Venom, X-Men- the list goes on. Going by the latest finding, there’s still more information to be unearthed from the massive database.
Earlier today, an anonymous fan leaked the concept trailer of Insomniac’s Spider-Man: The Great Web. The video showcases a five-player based co-op game which, allegedly, has been shelved by the developer.
With a voiceover by Yuri Lowenthal (voice actor for Insomniac’s Spider-Man), the trailer shows five Spider-People from different universes banding together. They can be seen web-slinging and fighting goons all over New York City before ultimately facing the Sinister Six.
By the looks of it, the multiversal game looks fairly refined and well beyond early concept phases. However, it’s possible the developers put together existing assets to pitch the live-service title before changing their mind.
Why The Great Web was cancelled is up for debate. It could be the hefty royalties Insomniac would have to pay Disney, or perhaps Insomniac wanted to focus on their next big titles, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 and Wolverine.
It’s unfortunate that Spider-Man: The Great Web didn’t see the light of day. But given that live-service games are potential cash cows for publishers, a similar co-op mode for Spider-Man 3 quite probable.
