It looks like a late developer fromMarvel’s Spider-Man 2studioInsomniachas been honoured in the Spidey sequel in the form of a sweet mural in the virtual Central Park.
Ina postshared by the studio after Goodman’s passing, Insomniac said that the developer “contributed greatly to our company’s legacy and vision to have a lasting and positive impact on people’s lives.” According to the post, Goodman worked at theSonystudio for 15 years and contributed to games such as Ratchet & Clank (the first and its many sequels), Song of the Deep, and the firstMarvel’s Spider-Mangame - so it’s very fitting to find the late developer in its sequel a few years later.
This isn’t the first time Insomniac has honored Goodman in one of their games. As the same post reveals, the developer also appeared in the form of the ‘Craiggerbears’ collectibles - which could be picked up across different planets inRatchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
If all bears were collected, players could obtain a trophy for their efforts as well as a new message in the game’s menu which read: “Mysterious plush bears that seem to show up on every world. They are said to carry the optimism, kindness, and creativity of a fallen hero missed by his comrades.” Which is also an incredibly sweet tribute from the studio.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
