Spider-Man 2 Players Discover Cut Gameplay Feature

Key Takeaways

  • Cut combat feature in Spider-Man 2 allowed for double finishers on enemies.
  • It’s unclear why the feature was cut from the final release.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia when it comes to the hidden treasures developers often hide within their games. The recent discovery of cut combat features in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, allowing for double finishers on enemies, is no exception.


A dedicated fan of “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” recently discovered a concealed combat feature within the game’s data, revealing that Spiderman could have executed dual finisher moves on enemies. Released towards the end of last year on PlayStation 5 to widespread praise, this game is the third installment in Insomniac’s comic book gaming series and serves as a continuation of its popular predecessors. Featuring both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters, “Spider-Man 2” challenged them to protect the open-world environment of New York City from infamous villains such as Venom and Kraven the Hunter.

The games based on Spider-Man by Insomniac have always been filled with intricate details and delightful gameplay touches, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is no exception. Since its release, keen-eyed players have been scouring New York City for hidden Easter Eggs and connections to other well-known Marvel characters. For example, they’ve noticed that in the game, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson wear matching outfits as a representation of their love, or they’ve spotted an ordinary NPC who resembles Chameleon from Spider-Man 2. Some details extend beyond the game’s coding, such as a secret trophy room that hints at the Rhino meeting a violent and untimely death off-screen, perhaps at the hands of Kraven.

Meanwhile, a Reddit user by the handle of TheEternalVortex recently chanced across some unused code that would have added double-finishers to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, allowing Peter or Miles to take down two enemies with a single button combination. They posted a video clip of this code in action to r/SpidermanPS4, with Peter using his webs to pull one criminal into another, taking out another pair with some well-timed kicks, and web-yanking a third pair into the pavement after an impressive flip.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Could Have Had Double-Finishers

It’s plausible that Insomniac Games might reuse the unused double finishers in “Marvel’s Spider-Man 3”, a project rumored to be in development. A cyber-attack late last year revealed some of Insomniac’s future Marvel projects, such as the confirmed “Marvel’s Wolverine” and potential Venom and X-Men games. Fans are eagerly anticipating news about story DLC for “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”, but no official confirmation has been made yet.
