Spider-Man 3: Anti-Goblin Suit and Rivals Collab Confirmed?

by

Due to a significant leak last year, Insomniac Games’ plans for the near future have been made public. In the short term, fans can anticipate the release of Marvel’s Wolverine, as well as a game centered around Venom, who has turned from villain to anti-hero. Long-term, fans can expect a new installment in the Ratchet and Clank series, an X-Men video game, and the conclusion of Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man trilogy. Based on their current games and the ending of Spider-Man 2, we can make educated guesses about what the next major Spiderman adventure might entail.

Amongst discussions about major characters like Silk and Doc Ock, gameplay mechanics, and improvements in Marvel’s Spider-Man, let’s not forget to talk about the well-liked cosmetic system in the series. Players will likely find familiar costumes for some excitement while swinging through New York City, yet fresh outfits could also be introduced similar to previous games. Although it’s hard to predict all the costumes Insomniac Games have up their sleeves, a collaboration skin and a story-based design are highly probable additions.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 Could Return the Favor to Marvel Rivals

Instead of immediately teaming up with the MCU for movie-themed cosmetics, Marvel Rivals also sought partnerships with other Marvel video games. Fun extras such as name cards inspired by titles like “Marvel Snap” and a Fortnite glider themed around Rivals are entertaining, but the most thrilling game collaboration to date is arguably the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 bundle. This package grants players access to the updated version of Peter Parker’s iconic Advanced Suit from the game, with its large white spider and distinct color scheme fitting seamlessly into the Rivals universe. Additionally, the pack includes a name card, spray based on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 cover art, and an emote showing Peter kicking a Symbiote.

Since actor Yuri Lowenthal, who plays Peter Parker in “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2”, is also the voice of the friendly neighborhood superhero in “Rivals”, gamers will have an incredibly engaging homage to Insomniac Games’ creations by stepping into the game.

Given the pattern of collaborations seen in video games, and considering how Rivals‘ previous game partnerships have unfolded, it’s highly probable that the next installment of Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man series will incorporate elements from Marvel Rivals. Given Venom’s symbiote nature in the character, a potential collaboration could involve making the cartoonish Venom costume from Marvel Rivals as an unlockable option within the leaked game. Alternatively, the default costume for Peter Parker from Marvel Rivals, which is entirely original, might be included in Spider-Man 3 upon its release. Since Rivals has a live service model, it may still be around years later, potentially offering more characters like Miles and Silk, expanding the costume options for Insomniac to consider in future updates.

An Anti-Goblin Suit For Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 Would Feel Like a Logical Progression

Given the pattern established in previous Marvel’s Spider-Man games, where Peter Parker acquires suits that neutralize the abilities of the main antagonists, it is plausible to expect similar developments in the third game. Since Green Goblin is expected to be a significant adversary in the trilogy’s conclusion, a suit specifically designed to counteract his abilities – an Anti-Goblin costume – could potentially be introduced. This suit might incorporate features to block or mitigate the Goblin’s glider, bombs, and other technological devices, while also featuring a unique color scheme that distinguishes it from traditional Green Goblin appearances.

It’s more likely that Peter Parker will wear the Anti-Goblin suit compared to Silk or Miles Morales, given his close relationship with Norman Osborn and his history with other “Anti” suits. While there are other costumes that seem likely for the finale of the Marvel’s Spider-Man series, such as updated Evolved and Advanced designs, the Anti-Goblin suit and the Marvel Rivals costume are strong contenders for probable additions.
