Marvel's Spider-Man 2 patch returns a Daredevil reference, days after the director told fans to "stay tuned"
Developer Insomniac Games has returned a Daredevil reference to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, just days after the director teased speculators about it.
To catch you up, the first Marvel's Spider-Man game had a plaque outside Nelson and Murdock's legal office - Daredevil's daytime workplace - located in Hell's Kitchen.

The Easter Egg's disappearance and silent return probably means that the whole situation was probably just an asset-related bug that's now been squished. Or was it? Some fans still have hopes about the hero's gaming future, though, especially after discovering an oddly detailed interior that could be related to The Hand - the supervillain organization that debuted in a Daredevil comic.
