Is Insomniac Games Planning a Silk Game to Expand Marvel’s Spider-Man Universe on PS5?

Anyone who has played Spider-Man 2 knows that the developers Insomniac Games have future projects planned for the series. The popular Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise by Insomniac Games began on the PS4 five years ago. Since then, it has steadily grown with the half sequel Miles Morales game, followed by the recent blockbuster Spider-Man 2 on PS5. Judging by the post credits, the devs might have plans to take its ‘Marvel Gaming Universe’ to a whole new level with future surprises.

In the last few days, the wild speculation over a Silk PS5 game from Insomniac Games has been doing rounds online. There’s no doubt about the fact that Spider-Man 2 wasn’t the last installment. Through several instances, the game teased the future of the series. While a Spider-Man 3 is all but officially confirmed, future Spidey games will introduce new characters. And reportedly, a Silk game is part of the plans. Let’s dive deeper to see if this is true.

A PS5 Silk game from Insomniac may or may not be in development and here’s why

It seems like the webs are connected to the unfortunate leaks that has put Insomniac Games in a tough spot. So far, a lot of details based on the studio’s future projects have emerged on the internet. For the uninitiated, the upcoming Wolverine game was recently leaked with a fully playable version for PC. However, the latest intel regarding Marvel character Silk might be something fans will get attracted to.

On Reddit, many users recently discussed the possibility of a Silk game from Insomniac Games on PS5. This speculation comes from the leaked documents. There seems to be an alleged projection for the Silk title and how it may perform after releasing for PlayStation.

“I was going through the documents in the recent insomniac leak, and found an excel spreadsheet that had a tab dedicated to info regarding a Silk game,” reads the post by the Redditor who mentioned the details. It appears they somehow managed to get access to the information. Once again, nothing is actually confirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Speaking briefly about the character herself, Silk is actually Cindy Moon. She’s a Korean-American student who was bitten by the same radioactive spider that gave Peter Parker his superhuman abilities. In the comics, she has been a part of the Spider-Army/Web Warriors and the Agents of Atlas. She was also teased in this year’s Spider-Man 2 during a post-credit scene featuring Miles Morales. (Game ending- spoilers ahead)

In one of the 2 post credits scenes, Rio introduces her guests to Miles and Hailey. Rio introduces the man who turns to be Albert Moon. And Albert introduces the person with him. His daughter. While we don’t get to see her face, he introduces her as Cindy. Of course, the sequence was the introduction of Cindy Moon to the franchise. But beyond that, fans don’t know yet what role she will play. She could get her own game, or be the next wall-crawler to fight alongside the Spider-Men in Spider-Man 3. It is already known that Miles will be the main Spider-Man going forward. In the end of Spider-Man 2, we see a passing of the torch moment where Peter shares that he will be taking a break from crime fighting, but Miles says he’s ready. So maybe we’ll see Miles take Cindy under his wing. Like how Peter mentored Miles.

Another possibility is the reddit theory. Some fans believe a Silk game might eventually happen. They have presented a theory as well regarding this possibility. According to them, she will appear as one of the playable characters alongside Venom in his own video game. However, it’s still unclear how the makers will tie her origin story into the rumored title. But fans think that it may be completely different from the comics.

All things considered, Spidey fans are in for a treat. How Insomniac Games weaves Silk into their franchise is yet to be seen. But one thing’s for sure; there is a lot more to come, and it will only keep getting bigger and better.
