A later leak, which is understood to be an additional narrative to the original trailer, puts focus on the essential topic of the game’s story that is titled the Great Web. As depicted in the trailer, the term the Great Web represents the inter-dimensional link connecting all the Spider’s brothers/sisters and refers to “the inter-dimensional hub of life and destiny bringing us together as a united whole”.

The narrative of Spider-Man: The Great Web movie was meant to get the Great Web destabilization started by the conspiracies of the Sinister Six.

Given the studio’s history of exploring multiverse themes, as evidenced by the cameo in Spider-Man: In which the trailers of the new Spidi-Verse, and other game quests we can envision that in the future there is a good possibility of us implementing “The Great Web” into the projects of Insomniac.
