If you’ve been waiting patiently for some more Spider-Man PS4 news, then today is the hallowed day you’ve been anticipating: following the announcement that something “fantastic” was coming to the game, two Fantastic Four-themed costumes have popped up thanks to a new patch; and, on top of that, the game’s creative director is working on something new.
Let’s start with the suits, shall we? It’s another fan-pleasing patch for Insomniac, who previously appeased a lot of vocal gamers by adding the much-requested ‘Raimi Suit’ into Spider-Man PS4, as two separate Fantastic Four outfits have been added to the game.
One of these is a Future Foundation suit (which calls back to a comic book run in which Spidey joined Reed Richards in a new team with snazzy white outfits), and the other is the fan favourite Bag-Man costume (referring to a time when Peter Parker had to dump the symbiote-powered black suit at the Baxter Building and leave in some hastily assembled new threads). Bag-Man has shown up in loads of games before, making this a callback that works on numerous levels.
Fans who are lucky enough to not be at work right now have already started playing with and snapping photos of these new suits, and you can take a look for yourself here…
Further to these exciting new additions, Spider-Man PS4’s creative director, Bryan Intihar, tweeted about something very intriguing at the end of last week. Without sharing what his new project is, Intihar revealed that he is pitching some sort of new story content to his colleagues…
Is it possible that Intihar has been working on the story elements of Spider-Man PS4’s proper sequel while other departments at Insomniac have been working on stuff like the Fantastic Four suits? Of course, it’s impossible to know for sure what’s going on, so we’ll keep our ears to the ground in the hope of hearing an official announcement.
Whatever it is that Intihar is working on, we’ll keep you updated as we hear more. And in the meantime, let’s have fun with the new Spider-Man PS4 suits!
