Released on August 12 on PC Marvel’s Spider-Man is the latest PC port of the PlayStation games. He therefore joins God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, or even Days Gone, and while waiting for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves. And the game files have apparently revealed some secrets.
Marvel’s Spider-Man a, following the games Batman Arkham Knight, totally revived superhero games. Signed Insomniac Games, currently working on Marvel’s Wolverine et Marvel’s Spider-Man 2the title allows to take a Spider-Man of great flexibility.
A long-awaited and already successful PC version
Weaving your web in New York has never been so pleasant, and the realization allows you to live a solid adventure, during which many costumes are to be unlocked. First released on PS4, then ported to PS5 via a Remaster, Marvel’s Spider-Man is arrived in this second form on PC on August 12. Greedy if you want to make the most of what this version has to offer, the title is a port of good quality but imperfect, with unconvincing ray-tracing.
But this port was eagerly awaited by PC players, who, according to SteamDB, gave Insomniac’s work a very warm welcome. In fact, the title would be the second-best launch for a PlayStation game on PC with 64,893 connected, ahead Horizon : Zero Dawn (56,557) but behind God of War (73,529). It remains to be seen whether the latter will be able to retain his estimated first place when The Last of Us Part Iexpected on PS5 September 2nd and soon following on PC, will arrive.
An abandoned multiplayer spotted in the files?
But the arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC has other consequences than simply opening up to a new audience with technical options pushed to the maximum. An arrival on PC is also a horde of curious people, who search every corner of the game files, and discovering things. And as much to say that what discovered DniweTamp risk of making people talk if things are confirmed. Indeed, the dataminer would have discovered strange mentions of potential competitive multiplayer and co-op.
What. What is that.
The first image mentions “Peter Parker is the Superior Spider-Man”, “Miles Morales is the Superior Spider-Man”as well as “Superior Spider-Man Winner Message”. Two more images were posted indicating “if defined and in cooperation”, as well as a principle of blue team and red team. The mere mention of Superior Spider-Man refers to the comics in which the body of Peter Parker is controlled by the mind of Otto Octaviusbut the turn as well as the mention of teams and winner suggest that a multiplayer mode would have been planned and then abandoned or would possibly be in development for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
The authenticity of these images remains to be proven, but VGC indicates that it has carried out checks and declares that they are completely true. The most likely option is the former, namely a tested-then-abandoned mode, but Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will feature Miles and Peter struggling together once morest Venom, and a character identified as Kraven the Hunter. It is therefore not impossible that tests have been carried out in Marvel’s Spider-Man to see if such a mode might work in the following. For the moment, neither Sony, nor Marvel, nor Insomniac have commented on this discovery, which we still take with tweezers.
