The next big release on the gaming calendar might be October's Red Dead Redemption 2, but fans shouldn't forget about the DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man, the first of which - The Heist - is set to release October 23.
The first part of the City that Never Sleeps arc, this particular entry will focus on Black Cat, who featured off-camera in one of the base game's side missions. The ending teases that the character, who goes by the name of Felicia Hardy in the comics, is planning something big - even going so far as to outfit the web-slinger with a brand new, Black Widow-inspired costume stashed away in her temporary hideout.
It's unclear what the other packs will include though, and while Insomniac's latest title is as close to perfect as a superhero game can get, there are a few things that could be improved for the DLC.
Fans are now fully invested in this version of the Marvel Universe, and with the time and resources available to further enhance Sony's latest console exclusive, there's a good chance this add-on content will genuinely be worth the wait.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
