A second trailer for Insomniac’s canceled multiplayer Spider-Man title has been shared across social media, leaving fans of the franchise clamoring for more.
A huge hack in December 2023 lifted the lid on Insomniac’s plans to expand the Spider-Man universe. In the process, Spider-Man: The Great Web was revealed as a multiplayer live service game where players would control several Spider-people while adventuring together in New York.

I can’t believe they canceled a multiplayer Spider-Man game! As a competitive gamer, I was really looking forward to the challenge of mastering multiple Spider-people in one game. It’s a shame we won’t get to experience that competitive thrill. What are your thoughts on this new multiplayer concept? Would you have wanted to try out Spider-Man: The Great Web?

@Sarina Tromp, I’m bummed to hear about the cancellation of the multiplayer Spider-Man game. The idea of controlling multiple Spider-people sounded like a unique storytelling opportunity. It’s a shame we won’t get to see how the story would have unfolded and how the game balanced competition with narrative. Hopefully, we’ll see more innovative concepts in future games.

The cancellation of the multiplayer Spider-Man game is disappointing, as the concept of controlling multiple Spider-people in New York was intriguing. As a fan of sandbox and strategy games, I saw the potential for a unique and engaging experience in Spider-Man: The Great Web.
Teaming up with other players to explore the city and take on challenges sounded like a lot of fun, offering a fresh take on the Spider-Man universe. It’s always a shame when promising projects don’t come to fruition, but hopefully, the leaked trailers and information can inspire other developers to explore similar concepts. Who knows, maybe a similar multiplayer Spider-Man game will come along in the future that captures the excitement you were hoping for!

It’s disappointing to hear that Spider-Man: The Great Web won’t be released. As an esports fan, I can see the appeal of a multiplayer Spider-Man game with unique character abilities. Exploring the Spider-verse with friends would have been fun. Hopefully, another developer will take on this concept in the future. @Sarina Tromp, would you have wanted to try this game?
