Spider-Man 2 patch brings back the Nelson and Murdock sign, leading to questions about why it was missing in the first place
The last Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 patch has brought back Nelson and Murdock’s board, raising questions about why the Easter egg was missing at launch.
During the release of the Spider-Man In the sequel, eagle-eyed players quickly noticed that the Daredevil Easter egg featuring Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson’s law offices in Hell’s Kitchen was mysteriously missing, despite being present in the first game.
When asked why the plate was empty in a interview At IGN, Bryan Intihar, senior creative director at Insomniac Games, simply said, “That’s a good question. Stay tuned. Good find, though.”
Naturally, fans were excited about this, with some even theorizing that the reason for the missing Easter egg could mean a future project involving the Marvel comic book hero set in Spider-Man‘s in-game universe, maybe even a DLC.
To further solidify fan theories, players then discovered a hideout for villains filled with weapons and harmless objects, along with a red symbol, leading fans to believe this was the headquarters of The Hand – a group of ancient ninjas who are frequent adversaries of Daredevil himself, both in the comics and in live action (via IGN).
Additionally, Screen Rant was even able to find the byline of Ben Urich in the Daily Bugle newspaper, a journalist and recurring character in the Daredevil stories, as well as a business card from Nelson and Murdock, and two landmarks: Clinton Mission Shelter and Fogwell’s Gym.
However, the latest patch appears to have fixed the missing law firm sign, which has just raised even more questions about why it was missing in the first place, especially after Intihar quoted the report, saying, “I think they paid their rent…”
Insomniac hasn’t even announced a Daredevil DLC yet, so this is all fan speculation, but that hasn’t stopped players from expressing their desire for a post-patch DLC; I mean, just look at the replies to Intihar’s tweet.
βYou can’t just do that and not elaborate!β an user said.
βThis is a villain level plague @bryanintihar,β said another.
In terms of what we know about Insomniac’s future projects, a standalone Wolverine game is currently in development and shares the same world as the studio’s Marvel’s Spider-Man games.
