PS4 ‘Spider-Man’ Game Gets ‘The Heist’ DLC, New Costumes

Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the best games we’ve played all year, and if you haven’t gotten enough of enormous population of criminals yet, you’ll be able to jump back in when The Heist DLC releases next week.
Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac Games has provided further details for the first downloadable content (DLC) chapter out next week, Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Heist, including a look at three new suits for the web-slinger and the story portions involving Black Cat.

The three new suits in question are the Resilient Suit from comic book illustrator Gabriele Dell’Otto, who has previously worked on Brian Michael Bendis’ Secret War mini-series; Spider-Man’s suit from Scarlet Spider II, which was published in 2012-13; and the Spider-UK suit from the Spider-Verse comic series that is set to get a movie adaptation in December.
As for the new story missions in The Heist, they kick off with a robbery at an art museum which somehow links Peter Parker and Mary Jane with an old romantic interest of the former’s in Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat. Insomniac Games says that’s the beginning of an “interconnected” story spanning all three chapters of the paid DLC Marvel’s Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps.
Beyond that, The Heist brings new challenges, crimes, trophies, and an enemy faction. You can start playing all that from next Tuesday, October 23.
