Part two ofMarvel Spider-Man‘s three-partThe City That Never Sleepsstory DLC arrives on November 20, Insomniac Games announced on thePlayStation Blog. TitledTurf Wars, the DLC is focused on Hammerhead, the Spidey villain and crime boss.
Hammerhead was mentioned all throughout the game’s first DLC,The Heist, butTurf Warswill put Spider-Man in the middle of the struggle between the villain and the other New York City crime bosses. He will be assisted by Yuri Watanabe in trying to restore the peace, but it won’t be easy since Hammerhead has gotten ahold of Sable International technology and weapons.
Along with a new story arc,Turf Warswill include a bunch of new side content, including new bases to dismantle, crimes to solve, challenge missions, and a new set of trophies to unlock. Essentially, likeThe Heist,Turf Warswill be a mini version of the main adventure in terms of content.
Three new Spider-Man suits can be unlocked inTurf Wars. While you’re able to already wear the Iron Spider suit as seen inAvengers: Infinity War, the original Iron Spider armor based on the comics design will be added to the game. Also, you may have noticed that Spider-Man can currently wear Spider-Armor MK II, III, and IV. MK I has been curiously absent. That’ll change withTurf Wars. The last new suit, the Spider-Clan suit, hails from Marvel’s Mangaverse, becoming the latest costume with an animated look to it.
We enjoyed our time withMarvel’s Spider-Manwhen we reviewed it at launch and wereimpressed byThe Heistlast month. You can either buyTurf Warsfor $10 or purchaseThe City That Never Sleepsseason pass, which includes all three pieces of story DLC, for $25. Considering thatThe Heistended on a tantalizing cliffhanger, it probably doesn’t make too much sense to playTurf Warswithout playingThe Heistfirst.
Turf Warsgoes live on PS4 on November 20, withSilver Lining, the conclusion to the saga, expected to arrive next month. If you haven’t playedMarvel’s Spider-Manyet, you may want to check out the$80 digital deluxe edition, as it saves you five bucks versus buying the game and season pass separately.
