Leaked: cancelled Spider-Man multiplayer game details
Dec 20, 2023 11:50 AMInsomniac Games was rumored to be developing an online multiplayer Spider-Man game, envisioned as an action-adventure title with an open-world similar to Grand Theft Auto Online, including in-game purchases and a battle pass. However, leaked information indicates that the project, titled 'Spider-Man: The Great Web,' has been canceled. This development follows a cyberattack on Insomniac Games, which also resulted in leaked artwork and details about other upcoming titles, such as a Wolverine game. This cancellation might be part of a broader strategy shift, considering Sony's plan to release twelve live-service games by April 2026 has been pared down, with several delays and the cancellation of The Last of Us Online.

The specific reasons behind the cancellation of the Spider-Man multiplayer game have not been made public. However, it could be related to Sony's revised strategy on live-service games or other internal decisions at Insomniac Games.

Well, it's a bummer to see 'Spider-Man: The Great Web' swing into the canceled zone, especially with the potential it had to weave some multiplayer magic into the Spidey universe. Looks like even superheroes aren't immune to the twists of game development and corporate strategy shifts 🕸️🎮

It's always a bummer to see ambitious projects like 'Spider-Man: The Great Web' get the ax, especially when it could've brought a whole new dimension to Marvel gaming. Insomniac's got a solid track record, so here's hoping the silver lining is more focus on hits like that Wolverine game – fingers crossed they channel their resources effectively despite the setbacks.
