Players have discovered a menu in-game that details the entire arc of a villain named \u201cBeetle Villain\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The update accidentally left player access to a development menu, and Insomniac has warned fans on Twitter that using the menu could corrupt their saves and interrupt trophy progress. However, this hasn\u2019t stopped some players from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/SpidermanPS4\/comments\/1b90x3p\/the_dev_menu_is_accessible_allowing_you_to_see\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digging in to uncover what\u2019s in there<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u26a0\ufe0f We&#8217;re aware the latest game update may have inadvertently allowed access to a development game menu.

Janice is reformed mobster Tombstone\u2019s daughter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s unclear whether Insomniac is still working on this DLC if we will see other iconic characters in any DLC, or if this is just a remnant from other development work. Some information does seem to line up with data that was <a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/insomniac-leak-rhysida-hack-sparks-rally-of-support-for-game-developer\/\">obtained from leaks and hacks Insomniac suffered<\/a> late last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company has not issued a statement on the screenshots and no official DLC has been announced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have however announced that a hotfix will be coming soon to remove the access to the debug menu so players will be safe from accidentally corrupting their save files.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was included in the Spider-Man 2 update?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As well as this accidental inclusion, the March 7 update came with many much-requested features for Spider-Man 2. Most notably, the update included a New Game Plus mode which enables players to continue their enjoyment of the game beyond their first playthrough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The update has added some vital accessibility options to the game too, including audio descriptions and screen reader compatibility, both vital tools for some disabled players.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Featured image credit: Insomniac Games<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/readwrite.com\/insomniac-may-have-accidentally-leaked-their-upcoming-spider-man-2-dlc\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 has received a huge patch which added New Game Plus, new suits, and\u2026more than Insomniac intended.
