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

7. The Marvel 'Gamerverse' Takes Shape

One of the most exciting things about booting up and playing the last game for the first time was discovering just how integrated it was into the wider Marvel Universe.

Insomniac went to great lengths to make everything feel connected, including a truckload of brilliant Easter eggs that referenced the likes of the Avengers, Daredevil, and even Doctor Strange. Now - if rumours are to be believed - it looks as though they'll be taking things a step further in the sequel.

The leaks from January said that Insomniac will "hint towards a larger Marvel Universe", and one would assume those hints will be more explicit this time around. Marvel have stated that both the upcoming Avengers game from Square Enix and Spider-Man PS4 are a part of the 'Gamerverse', and with all the talk of super soldiers and cloning, Spider-Man commenting that the Avengers are on the West Coast in the last game AND Steve Rogers dying too, might it be possible that Osborn is using Captain America's DNA for his own schemes?

This is all just wild speculation on my behalf, but it's probably worth pointing out all the same.
