Spider-Man multiplayer game: Trailer leaks online for cancelled project
A trailer has leaked online for Spider-Man: The Great Web, a multiplayer game that got some way into development at Insomniac Games before being cancelled.
Insomniac is the company behind 2018's massively popular Spider-Man PS4 game. It has since released two follow-ups, Miles Morales in 2020 and the brilliant Spider-Man 2 in 2023.
The company was hit by hackers late last year, with a huge amount of confidential detail leaking online, including early information about the upcoming Wolverine game from Insomniac.
If you followed the leaks at the time, you will have already heard that Insomniac has dabbled with an idea for a multiplayer Spider-Man game. The game, as far as we know, is never going to be finished and released.
We opted not to cover the news at the time, but it's hard to ignore now that the trailer is doing the rounds online and even hugely respected outlets like Forbes have picked up the story.
The Spider-Man multiplayer trailer has been visible on X/Twitter for eight hours with no signs of being taken down. The game, it seems, would have been called Spider-Man: The Great Web. Some of the graphics are far from finished, but it really gives you a flavour of what this game could've been.
Featuring a voiceover from Insomniac's Peter Parker voice actor of choice, the brilliant Yuri Lowenthal, the trailer shows multiple versions of Spider-Man fighting together to protect New York and take on iconic villains like The Sinister Six.
Playable characters seem to include Gwen Stacy, Venom and various versions of Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The combat looks to have the same combos and gadgets blend that players know well from Insomniac's single-player efforts.
With characters jumping into portals and seeming to visit each other from different dimensions, it seems the game had some shared DNA with the fantastic movies Into the Spider-Verse, Across the Spider-Verse and Beyond the Spider-Verse.
