Footage of a purportedly cancelled co-operative live-service Spider-Man game from developer Insomniac – titled Spider-Man: The Great Web – has appeared online following last year’s ransomware attack targeting the developer and its employees.
The trailer (narrated by Yuri Lowenthal, the voice of Insomniac’s Peter Parker) points to a five-player co-op Spider-Man game featuring various multiverse incarnations of the character – including Gwen Stacey, Spider-Man 2099, and Scarlet Spider, alongside Peter Parker and Miles Morales – who would go up against the Sinister Six in an open-world Manhattan.
Spider-Man: The Great Web first came to light following last year’s ransomware attack on Insomniac, and would seemingly have been part of Sony’s ambitious but floundering live-service plans – announced under the watch of departing PlayStation boss Jim Ryan in 2021 – with Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us multiplayer project being the most high-profile casualty.
