This week's latest update to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 adds long-awaited features such as a New Game Plus mode, mission replay, and additional accessibility options However, other additions that developer Insomniac Games did not intend include full access to the debug menu, which could corrupt players' save files and trophy progress, and revealing details about an unannounced DLC plan

Shortly after patch 1002000 for "Spider-Man 2" was released on Thursday (March 7), PlayStation 5 users quickly They discovered This menu allows players to skip between chapters of the game, turn on cheats, spawn in rooms that are normally inaccessible, and view performance details such as frame rate and dynamic resolution settings

The developer menu appears when pressing L3 and R3 on the save select screen, or by pressing the touchpad and option buttons simultaneously during gameplay However, Insomniac cautions players that using this may corrupt the game's save data The developer also confirmed that they are working on a fix

"We are aware that the latest game update may have inadvertently allowed access to the development game menu," Insomniac posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday 'We have a hot fix for this Please be aware that using this menu may corrupt your save and trophy progress There is no risk in playing the game as intended"

More interestingly, details of a DLC featuring Spider-Man's longtime nemesis, the Beetle, have been revealed A listing in the debug menu titled "Beetle Villain Arc" includes a chapter that appears to be related to the new mission; nine chapters are listed, but nothing happens no matter which one is selected; the chapter is also listed as "The Beetle Villain Arc

These details are consistent with information leaked online during last year's massive Insomniac data breach Both leaks indicate that the Beetle in Spider-Man 2 may be the Janis Lincoln version of Tombstone's daughter, who debuted in the comics in 2010 Although Beetle does not appear in the main campaign, the reformed Tombstone plays an important role as a target for Kraven's hunters

Neither Sony nor Insomniac have confirmed DLC plans for Spider-Man 2, so it remains unclear whether the studio will move forward with a Beetle-themed expansion The final quest for one side mission suggests the possibility of DLC related to Carnage This will have to wait; Insomniac's full patch notes can be read on the studio's website
