Beyond Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the leak also disclosed online modes for Wolverine and X-Men, planned for release in 2026 and 2028, along with a list of upcoming Insomniac game releases until 2035. The lineup includes Marvel's Venom (2025), Spider-Man 3 (2028), a new Ratchet & Clank installment (2029), and Marvel's X-Men (2030). Additionally, two new IPs are slated for release in 2031 and 2035, showcasing the studio's long-term vision. The breach also encompassed internal data such as budgets, revenue figures, and sales projections.

Since its release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has achieved resounding success, surpassing five million copies and becoming Sony's most successful exclusive 2023 release. The game has continued to build upon the foundations laid by its predecessor and has received positive reviews, with many players considering it the best game in the franchise. As a result, Spider-Man 2 was nominated for seven different Game Awards. However, despite its commercial triumph, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 did not secure any awards at The Game Awards.

While suffering from a hacker’s attack is an unfortunate situation for Insomniac, the studio's foray into the online gaming sphere with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 online mode adds an intriguing layer to the superhero franchise. As more details unfold in the future, many fans might be eager to know how this new mode will work and when exactly they will be able to play it.
