A Precursor to Spider-Man’s First DLC
Webheads, the next patch for Marvel’s Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 is available now. What do you have to sling forward to? Well, developer Insomniac delivered a few more features.
Spider-Man update 1.08 is, in part, a precursor to “The Heist” DLC that is due to arrive next week. The download shall take up 4.6 GB of space on your PS4’s hard drive. Those hard-earned gigabytes shall be allocated to the implementation of a New Game Plus, which fans have long anticipated. On top of that, players can expect a new “Ultimate” difficulty mode, which can offset the overpowered skills carried over from the first playthrough.
The update also comes with a couple of trophies – They’re meant for the DLC. One of them can be achieved through the completion of “The Heist” story mission. Insomniac also tweaked the photo mode a bit, just to give players some more options. Last but not least, the game received a few bug fixes.
