Summary
- A Marvel Rivals fan recently designed some concept art envisioning an Insomniac Spider-Man crossover.
- The crossover concept involves an interchange of the unique Spider-Man outfits in Marvel Rivals and Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2.
- The collaboration seems viable given Insomniac’s post-launch suit additions to Spider-Man 2 and Marvel Rivals’ live-service trappings.
A Marvel Rivals fan recently came up with a cool concept for an Insomniac Spider-Man crossover. Although Marvel Rivals features numerous Spider-Man skins, many players feel that a potential collaboration with Insomniac’s popular Spider-Man 2 should be strongly considered for the live-service hero shooter.
Marvel Rivals is a hero shooter in the literal sense, as it features a 33-strong roster of heroes, villains, and everything in between from the expansive Marvel universe. Couple this with the distinctive art style and engaging gameplay, and it’s no surprise that Marvel Rivals has racked up tens of millions of players in the few weeks it’s been on the market. As with many other popular live-service games, though, Marvel Rivals fans are constantly conceptualizing new characters and crossovers, and one such pitch may have stumbled on a great idea.

Reddit user NathanRider recently proposed an exciting crossover between Marvel Rivals and Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 with two pieces of concept art. The first one envisions Peter Parker’s iconic Advanced Suit from Spider-Man 2 as an alternate skin for Spider-Man in Marvel Rivals. Although the base image comes from Spider-Man 2‘s box art, the suit is somewhat edited to resemble Marvel Rivals‘ vivid art style for a more convincing concept, and it interestingly includes Venom’s symbiote tendrils on the arm as well. Venom is also in Marvel Rivals, presenting an opportunity for unique interactions when the Insomniac Spider-Man suit is equipped.
Marvel Rivals and Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 Crossover Could Turn Out Fruitful for Both Games
NathanRider’s second concept art goes in the opposite direction by bringing Marvel Rivals‘ Spider-Man skin into Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 as an alternate suit for Peter Parker. Unlike the previous one, though, this Spider-Man suit retains the Marvel Rivals art style, which isn’t too surprising since Insomniac rarely changes art styles for certain unique Spider-Man outfits when adding them to its games. A good example of this are the Spider-Verse suits for Miles Morales’ Spider-Man, which include the same art style and animation as the movies.
The beauty of this crossover is that it seems quite viable given the context of both games. Insomniac adds new suits to Spider-Man 2 as post-launch support, and Marvel Rivals is a live-service title, so it may eventually indulge in crossovers with other games to increase player interest. Therefore, a collaboration between Marvel Rivals and Spider-Man 2 is a prospect that sounds far from a pipe dream. Should Marvel Rivals add more Spider-People in the future, Miles Morales’ Spider-Man 2 suits could be folded into this crossover as well.
