Insomniac says not to expect sweet loot in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for previous game saves

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launches in just a few weeks, but if you're taking advantage of the time to complete your 100% playthroughs of the previous games in order to unlock something extra, you might want to take a break. Developer Insomniac has confirmed there won't be any in-game rewards for importing completed save files.

Community director James Stevenson was asked on Twitter if there will be any in-game rewards for having platinum trophies or completed save files from the first Marvel's Spider-Man or Miles Morales. Stevenson responded quite simply: "There are not."

Miles Morales didn't offer any in-game rewards for importing a save from the original game, either, but Insomniac seemingly had plans to include something at some point during development. Shortly after launch, players began to report receiving an in-game message: "Thank you for playing Marvel's Spider-Man, you've unlocked a new suit and stickers." But this didn't actually correlate to any unlocks, and in the end the message appeared to be nothing more than a glitch associated with a cut feature.

Insomniac does have a notable history of save import bonuses going back to the PS2 days, when the Ratchet & Clank sequels offered free weapons and shop discounts to players of the previous games. Alas, it seems this sort of bonus is now a relic of the past.

Of course, if you're already wrapping up the collectables in the previous games, you might want to keep going. Insomniac is starting to issue Spider-Man 2 spoiler warnings as early copies of the game go to reviewers and influencers, so distractions from social media might be healthy for the next few weeks.

Swing into the best Spider-Man games of all time.
