It’s been a few weeks since Insomniac Games officially announced the release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PS4. The developer also revealed then that players who pre-order the game will receive three bonus suits. However, only one suit was unveiled: Spider-Punk. Now the second suit has been revealed, and it’s a timely one for sure: the Iron Spider suit from the Avengers Infinity War movie.
Insomniac Games Community Director James Stevenson broke the news via PlayStation Blog earlier today. The Avengers Infinity War Iron Spider suit will appear in Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PS4 due to a collaboration between Sony Interactive Entertainment, Insomniac Games, Marvel Games and Marvel Studios.
That huge collaboration allowed the developers to gain access to the actual CG asset from Avengers Infinity War to ensure that the design remains as authentic as possible to the design in the movie. Additionally, Stevenson says that the final game will have suits “inspired by comics and film, as well as completely original suits created by Insomniac and other artists.” Here’s hoping the third suit to be revealed will either be the black symbiote suit or the Future Foundation suit.
Interestingly, these suits will not merely be cosmetic in nature. A majority of them will feature a special power or ability to use in the game. Stevenson reveals that the Spider-Punk suit lets players rock out with a guitar, unleashing an area of effect (AoE) attack sweeps enemies off their feet. The Iron Spider suit will be able to do something that only Avengers Infinity War watchers will know. I think I know what it is but I won’t reveal it to save you from spoilers.
Marvel’s Spider-Man will be released exclusively for the PS4 on September 7th, 2018. The game will have a unique story, which will not be connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the comics. In other related news, we recently reported that a job listing on Insomniac Games’ official site might be indicating a possible Spider-Man DLC.
