Spider-Man 2 PS5: Every Leak & Rumour You Need To Know

8. Norman Osborn Is Trying To Create New Super Soldiers

Seemingly not content with inviting a private army into NYC or with bonding an alien creature to his own child, it seems as though Norman Osborn will be up to plenty in the next Spider-Man game.

One rumour posits that the Green Goblin WILL appear, while another, more recent leak states that Osborn is busy trying to create new super soldiers. Juicier still is that the rumour suggests he'll be utilising cloning technology to make it happen, although whose DNA it'll come from is still unclear.

Clones are a controversial topic when it comes to Spider-Man, but with professor Miles Warren confirmed to exist in this new universe thanks to an Easter egg in the first game, it may be possible he could have a role to play at Oscorp in the sequel. Warren was, of course, the villain known as the Jackal, and was responsible for cloning both Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in the comics. Could he be looking to do the same this time around?

Also important to note is how the super soldier angle gives Insomniac the perfect entry point to depict Norman's transformation into the Green Goblin, with most interpretations of the character utilising some form of serum to enhance their strength - albeit at the slight cost of their own sanity.
