A Modder has added a multiplayer mode to the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, giving us the closest thing to the canceled Spider-Man: The Great Web project.
Modder hbgda (via Twitter/X user Okami13_) has released an unofficial multiplayer mode for the PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered. The project’s very first multiplayer beta is now available for fans to try. Patreons who are interested are instructed to head to the modder’s discord server for installation instructions and support.
The aforementioned multiplayer mod for Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered instantly reminds of the Spider-Man: The Great Web project that was in development at Insomniac Games. Back in March, 2024, a leaked trailer from the canceled title had found its way on the internet. It showed Peter Parker teaming up with Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy to protect the neighborhood from mobs and supervillains, including Doctor Octopus, Rhino, and Venom. The trailer was allegedly found among the stolen Insomniac Games’ data, where it is mentioned that Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web was intended as a live service game, but was eventually scrapped. The trailer also features voice overs by Yuri Lowenthal.
Venom is seen as a playable character in the footage, suggesting that Spider-Man: The Great Web may have featured some sort of a PvP component in addition to the co-op gameplay that the trailer mainly focuses on. Earlier, Venom voice actor Tony Todd had mentioned at a Fan Expo in San Francisco that Insomniac Games only used 10% of his voice lines recorded for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, suggesting that the cut content may have been saved for this Spider-Man live service game.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is an enhanced edition of the original game that bundles the base adventure with its post-launch DLC, The City That Never Sleeps. It launched for PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020, followed by a Windows PC port on August 12, 2022.
