“Hey Web-Heads,

We are now targeting Early 2024 for the next game update, and we’ll have a feature-complete list closer to its release. We’ve heard your feedback and will be adding some highly requested features, including the ability to change the time of day, swap tendril colors, and replay missions – just to name a few!
We can’t wait to share more with you in the future. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as our team works to finish our next update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2!
Thanks,
Insomniac Games”
Along with the major addition of a New Game+ mode, it would seem that the update is also adding some minor aesthetic and quality-of-life improvements, such as changing the time and the symbiote color.
Though the lack of these features from the start was disappointing, it did not hinder the game’s success, as it became the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios title after it launched earlier this year.
This update came a day after the studio was reportedly targeted by ransomware group, who have threatened to release screenshots of their upcoming Wolverine game and employee data. Insomniac themselves have not commented on the leak, so it seems as though they want to keep the focus on their games.
