Well, True Believers, it's only a week until Insomniac's long-anticipated Spider-Man game launches on the PS4. With this being 2018, however, attention has already shifted to the studio's post-release plans, with Insomniac having taken to PlayStation's blog to lift the lid on what Spider-Man's DLC will include, and when players can first get their hands on it.

The main game itself is said to take at least 20 hours to complete, but with three separate packs set to follow shortly after, it's clear that both Insomniac and Sony are determined to ensure Spidey retains a strong post-release presence, with a view to sequels, spin-offs and more presumably in mind too.

And though gamers themselves are likely to bemoan DLC in all its forms, there is something to be said of the potential opportunities it brings. The main story of the game looks to be telling an epic tale centred around one of the most stressful periods in Spider-Man's life, and with the Sinister Six already included too, there was always a chance that those smaller, more individual kinds of Spidey stories would fall by the wayside.

The DLC can address that though, and with a series of three 'one-shots' set to come, here's all you need to about Spider-Man's first DLC: The City That Never Sleeps.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
