Update : Doctor Octopus is nowconfirmed forSpider - Man PS4 .
Sony ended their PlayStation E3 2018 press conference with an extended trailer of their upcoming exclusiveSpider - Mangame from developer Insomniac Games . If you ’ve not seen it yet , watch it here now . It ’s great ! The gameplay display case volunteer the best and most in - deepness look yet at the plot yet . It promised that the final product would boast monumental battles with multiple villains where players are in full control of Spidey ’s movements and fighting , and not a long quick - sentence event like some feared . wanderer - Manfor PS4 seems like it ’ll stomach upwith the honest of console table ’s very well - received exclusives .
The most seethe about moment of the trailer does n’t have anything to do with the gameplay though . Instead it ’s about the story and characters , specifically the very last present moment of the presentation which teases the arriver of a bounteous and previously unconfirmed character . The video cuts off before the new arrival can be shown but it ’s safe to bet that the character reference isDoctor Octopushimself , Otto Octavius .

AlthoughSpider - Manwas herald E3 2016 , relatively little is known about the game . That ’s fair enough since Spider - Man get his own deed of conveyance from Insomniac Games , the makers ofRatchet and Clank , is enough of a reasonableness to be excited . Yet the E3 2018 display case did reveal more than ever before about the main story , namely that Peter Parker will be going up against the Sinister Six .
In the previewSpider - Mangets handily defeated by five villain : Scorpio the Scorpion , Electro , Rhino , Vulture and Mr. Negative . This leaves only one post to round off out the Sinister Six roll . The Sinister Five just does n’t have as good a ring to it . It’salready known that Wilson Fisk A.K.A. Kingpinwill be in the game but he ’s unlikely he ’s the mystery scoundrel . Kingpin never gets his manus that dirty , and certainly does n’t fly and glow … but more on that in a second .
The only real confidential information for the unidentified villain ’s identity operator are that they make a fragile robotic sound , they beam bright sparkle on Spidey and the very sight of them angers and/or surprises Peter Parker . Taking these cue together ( and with the implication thatSpider - Manis shape up to be every wall - crawler fan ’s dream ) all of it direct to Doc Ock .
Any one of Otto ’s tentacles could make the sound or emit that light . In addition , while the line - up of the Sinister Six has changed a lot through the long time in the comics , Doc Ock is an almost never-ending cellular inclusion . Otto was even involved in the failedSinister Sixspinoff moviethat Sony need to produce before the spate was worked out to share Spider - Man with Marvel Studios . To have the Sinister Six be inSpider - Manand Doc Ock not be require would n’t be unheard of , but it would be foreign .
Peter and Otto also have a long - standing and complicated kinship that would facilitate Spider - Man ’s reaction at the oddment of the trailer . The two have a long history , go back and forth in being allies and sulfurous enemies . While most rooter probably would n’t be surprised to see Doc Ock as a member of the Sinister Six , the Spider - Man of the game emphatically could be shocked .
There are some other possibilities for the mystery character too though . The sound that play along their arrival does sound robotlike but it also has a similarity to the noise thatVenom lay down in the trailer for his base alone movie . Venom could be the final Sinister Six member but that would n’t quite fit what we see though we bang the melodic theme of Venom and Carnage being in this game ( or its bright future continuation ) . There ’s also a possibility that the character is not a extremity of the Sinister Six or a villain at all . It could be someone whose arriving to save Spider - Man . The other baddies do back away , slenderly .
Yet anyone who want to place odds on it , should put money down on Doctor Octopus completing the Sinister Six and being the late villain to join the highly - anticipate secret plan .
