Spoiler Warning: This article features minor spoilers of a small Easter Egg featured in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 has appeared in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse with Insomniac bizarrely revealing a sliver of brand new gameplay.
As reported by Eurogamer, a scene in Across the Spider-Verse shows Miles Morales meet his friend Ganke who’s in the middle of a gaming sesh on his PlayStation 5. The footage turns out to be from Spider-Man 2, and Insomniac community manager James Stevenson confirmed to fans on Resetera that it’s brand new.
The clip is very, very brief but it does show Peter Parker getting all acrobatic against an unknown foe, while also using mechanical limbs reminiscent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man’s Instant-Kill Mode.

Whether or not Peter’s suit has been given upgrades on a par with Tony Stark’s version of the iconic Spidey suit remains to be seen, of course, but it looks as though Peter has been working on it in his spare time at least.
IGN’s review of Across the Spider-Verse gave it an 8/10 and said: “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse surges with visual inventiveness and vibrance in an undeniably strong evolution of the style established in Into the Spider-Verse… Across the Spider-Verse is a more-than-worthy follow-up to an all-time classic.”
