A recent ransomware attack on Insomniac Games has led to more than one million files being leaked online, including information about three potential free DLCs to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Internal documents and slides that were published online detail three separate free DLC expansions for the game. The first, titled “Beetle Infestation,” seems to star the low-level Spider-Man villain Beetle and will include an open-world mission and boss fight.
The next DLC, titled “Extreme Carnage,” will likely continue the Carnage storyline that Spider-Man 2 teased in one of its side missions. This will be followed up by “Spider-Verse Anomaly,” a partnered DLC between Insomniac Games and Sony Pictures that will include Spider-Verse NPCs and villains, Spider-Verse missions, and a Spider-Verse visual filter.
All three DLCs seem to be planned for 2024, although it’s currently unclear what the plans are for them following the leak. The company hasn’t acknowledged the veracity of the leaks as of now, so it’s unknown what will and won’t be happening in the future.
What happened to Insomniac Games?
Earlier this week, hackers announced that they had obtained employee data as well as information about various projects (via Cyber Daily). Since then, the group has released an image of some of its collected data, including screenshots from Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game as well as some information that lists what the studio is working on.
As first spotted by users on Reddit, Insomniac Games is listed as working on three upcoming projects, including something called “RCE,” “Spider-Man 3,” and “Spider-???.” The images also contain text that reads that there is “additional support for Spider-Verse” being done by some employees.
