Cancelled Live Service Spider-Man PS5 Game Allegedly Surfaces

A trailer for a game named Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web has leaked online, revealing what appears to be a live service, online adaptation of Insomniac Games’ superhero series. Gameplay looks largely familiar to the studio’s single player titles, except the big twist here is that Being Greater Together involves playing alongside up to four other friends.

Judging by the trailer, there would have been a Spider-Verse aspect to the action, as you’d be facing off against various villains in different versions of New York City. We won’t host the trailer here as we suspect this has emerged as part of the Insomniac Games hack, but you shouldn’t have too much trouble tracking it down if you want to see it. Clearly this is more of an early concept than anything close to being complete, and the simplicity reflects that.

Co-op superhero outings have had a bit of a rough time lately, with both Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failing to meet expectations. We reckon a co-op Spider-Man title could work relatively well, but it’d need a lot of variety to retain interest. We’re not sure there’s enough meat in this particular trailer to sustain a long-running live service.
