Spider-Man PS4: 6 Things You Need To Know About The City That Never Sleeps
6. 'The Heist' Will Unveil Black Cat
Marvel Comics
Black Cat had already been teased in a number of Daily Bugle issues released as a part of Insomniac's marketing, but it was unclear if she'd be making her first full appearance in the main story, or in the DLC itself.
Insomniac have now thankfully clarified the matter, stating that Black Cat (who goes by the name of Felicia Hardy in the comics) "finally reveals herself" in the first post-release pack, titled 'The Heist'.
Prior to the player's first encounter with Black Cat, the villainess will leave behind a number of clues for Spider-Man to track down in the base game. No doubt these will build upon the teases shown off in the Daily Bugle paper, which revealed that a cat burglar had been targeting New York's elite, but we can probably expect the titular heist in question to be slightly greater in scale than a few simple burglaries.
As for who they'll be robbing this time around... well, that's anyone's guess right now. Either way, expect the femme-fatale to turn Spidey's world upside down - in more ways than one.
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.
