DeveloperInsomniac Gameshas returned a Daredevil reference toMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, just days after the director teased speculators about it.
To catch you up, the first Marvel’s Spider-Man game had a plaque outside Nelson and Murdock’s legal office - Daredevil’s daytime workplace - located in Hell’s Kitchen. In the sequel’s rendition of New York, that plaque was mysteriously empty and the business' door was plastered with an eviction notice, hinting that the business had moved to a different location or gone under.
When asked about the change, director Bryan Intihar cheekilyresponded with “stay tuned.“That reply obviously stoked even more fan theories around the vigilante lawyer, but in an even more mysterious turn, the plaque has been updated to once again read: “Nelson and Murdock - Attorneys At Law.” The eviction notice was also removed thanks to the mostly bug-squashing patch deployed yesterday, November 1.
TheEaster Egg’sdisappearance and silent return probably means that the whole situation was probably just an asset-related bug that’s now been squished. Or was it? Some fans still have hopes about the hero’s gaming future, though, especially after discovering an oddly detailed interior that could be related to The Hand - the supervillain organization that debuted in a Daredevil comic.
Insomniac’s joint superhero universe is slowly growing, as the studio recently confirmed that its upcomingWolverine game shares its universe with Marvel’s Spider-Man. The team has also teased an“epic” threequeland apotential Venom spin-off, so Daredevil could pop up in any one of those projects. As long as they’re set in New York, I guess.
