Insomniac's Spider-Man 2: Every CONFIRMED Detail We Know

4. The Alien Costume Saga Is Going To Happen (And Peter WILL Wear It)

Fans may be wondering why Insomniac haven't included the black costume in Spider-Man PS4, and it's for a very important reason:

Peter is going to wear it in the sequel.

Although the Alien Costume Saga is unlikely to be adapted beat for beat, the likelihood is that Insomniac are set to provide their own spin on it by having Pete don the suit after coming into contact with Harry. We've already noted how the black costume's absence in the list of alternate suits was conspicuous, and subsequent interviews with Insomniac's Creative Director seem to confirm that this is indeed the direction they're heading - a direction that'll likely see a brand new design for the symbiote too, given the cosmetic changes already made to the classic red and blue costume.

The symbiote itself has had a polarising effect on Spidey fans, and to say that it's brought mixed fortunes to various media would be putting it lightly. It's certainly popular, but this particular staple of Spider-Man's comics already managed to derail Spider-Man 3, even if it has since benefited massively from a series recent retcons, starting with a starring role in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy comic.

That being said, we can be sure that Insomniac will be determined to changes doubters of this arc into believers, and to put a new spin on one of the web-slinger's most revered periods, even if Eddie Brock's whereabouts are still to be determined.
