Spider-Man PS4: 8 New Easter Eggs You Need To See

Capping off this veritable bonanza of references is an advert for Empire State University, Peter's old stomping ground in the comics and where he picked up his degree after graduating from Midtown years earlier.

Notable alumni from ESU include Norman Osborn and Emma Frost, and while the X-Men are yet to be referenced, the locale could present the first opportunity for the group to cameo in some form - whether it be an easter egg, or an actual appearance.

ESU was also where Peter Parker's friendship circle truly blossomed. He, Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn and Flash Thompson all attended the institution, with a large bulk of Spidey's most iconic stories taking place during his university years. The Jackal - the chief antagonist of the infamous Clone Saga arc - was a professor, and Doctor Curtis Connors (The Lizard) also tutored there at various points in the comics themselves.

Though Pete isn't likely to be repeating his studies, it would be nice to see how many references and tidbits Insomniac will be able to cram into this particular locale, especially when so much of Spider-Man's history will be left for the player to discover themselves.
