I feel this dlc stuff will be shoved into the Venom game.

So were those DLCs just rumors or did they cancel them?

My guess is the latter, the DLC got canned.

Aw, that's a shame. I was hoping for Spider-Gwen DLC.

I wonder what happened to Gwen Stacy in the Insomniac Spider-Man continuity?

Well Gwen Stacy hasn't at all been brought up in these games, and it seems Peter never met her.

It’s also worth noting that the leaked information is from like a year before SM 2 launched so it’s very likely some plans changed or got scrapped.

And now I just had realized that another factor could be with the VA strike.

[up][up][up][up] I think Silk is going to be our intended female spider-person here not Gwen.

Especially since Gwen hasn't been mentioned to exist in this setting.

Yeah, Cindy showing up in the stinger for 2 is very likely pointing towards Silk in 3.

Besides the side mission with references to the Spider-Verse.

I was really not a fan of them trying to tie it into the Spider-Verse.

I wonder if Silk will actually appear, or if that was just an easter egg. Adding another hero might not be the best idea right now.

Considering the way she was teased she’ll probably be an important character

Admitably I'm wary of how Silk will be handled since 2 struggled managing both Peter and Miles.

[up][up] Yeah I'm okay with some minor sidequest easter eggs but I really hope Spider-Verse isn't majorly involved in the games.

At least make a separate Spider-Verse game that does it's own thing away from this series.

Speaking as a Spider-Gwen, it's probably for the best she might not be introduced in this continuity.

For one ,they probably couldn't use her archnemesis, the Earth-65 version of Matt Murdock.

There's also her version of Punisher, but Wraith also covers that niche.

Honestly not torn up about no DLC

The first game's DLC plot wasn't particularly good. It felt alot like a whole tumor attached to an otherwise self contained, completed story. Hammerhead was a shitty villain and the new enemies were just really not fun to fight.

So I'd rather 2 remain this fun complete experience than have a repeat of the mid DLC.

I can't help but wonder if the cancelation of the DLCs has anything to do with the passing of Tony Todd? Given that it was implied Venom would have returned in one if them.

It wouldn't be hard to recast him since theoretically the host would be different since Harry is in a coma.

We know there was a Venom game in the works, but I'm not sure if we had any info on who Venom is in that game.

Todd died fairly recently and the buzz about the DLC being canceled started up months ago.

[up] Granted, he had apparently been in poor health for a while before his passing, so it's still possible that that could have been a contributing factor to the DLCs' cancellation, even before Todd died.

I'd say DLC is better when self-contained, It's an expansion pack, you wouldn't want to the base game to feel incomplete.

As it was the base game had the Black Cat subplot that did feel incomplete for the sake of the follow up.

I remember being genuinely stunned that Hammerhead, of all people, got three DLC episodes where he was the main villain. The plots don't even really feel that interconnected. I thought Felicia, Yuri, and Sable were going to team up or something, but they all just have wholly unrelated story beats going on.

The only part I really liked was the set up for Wraith, that was actually compelling stuff.

But honestly, Hammerhead is a decent enough bad guy IMO. I liked his whole nostalgic gangster longing for the old days of the rotten apple, hating the rise of super powered crime, and trying to turn back the clock but being a hypocrite about it.

[up][up] That would be fun. Play as them for a good part of the dlc as they team up against.. I assume a joint thug group. Though I’m also rather neutral to Hammerhead.
