Recap: Early reviews are already praising Insomniac's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps. Devs just dropped a trailer for the first DLC featuring Black Cat. The expansion adds new story, enemies, and costumes to the core open-world sandbox.

Spider-Man: The City the Never Sleeps for PlayStation 4 still has a few more days before it releases, but Sony and developer Insomniac Games are already promoting the first DLC for the game with a new teaser.

The first chapter in the DLC lineup is titled “The Heist” and features Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat. The trailer didn’t reveal much except that Black Cat will be playing a game of cat and mouse — er, spider — with the web-slinger.

As you play the main game, you will discover clues left behind by Felicia ultimately leading you to find her. In addition to new missions, story, and challenges, The Heist will contain a new enemy faction and three new Spidey suits to unlock.

The Heist lands on October 23, a bit over a month after the launch of the main game. There are also two other DLCs to follow in succession on November and December called “Turf Wars” and “Silver Lining” respectively.

Each DLC will be priced at $10, but a bundle of all three can be had for $25, which is available now. Yeah, it’s only a $5 savings, but you can save an additional $5 if you purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition, which includes the base game, all DLC, and a physical Spider-Man pin.

Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps releases on September 7, 2018, for PS4. The Standard Edition is $60, and the Deluxe is $80.

So the DLC is ready and cut from the game to be sold separately, nice. Not buying anything with such crappy business practices. Real shame as god of war and horizon zero dawn had none of this bullshit.

As long as the main game is feature rich with good gameplay and has a compelling story I see no problem with this. If the DLC is mainly comprised of short side-missions that are not required or change the main story in any way then they can offer it in small chunks as DLC. (I'm looking at you ME3!)

This is all assuming that the base game is not affected by this and it will be a good game without that DLC.

They are still confirming there is finished work not included in the main game for the purpose of milking you for money. Some of us, that remember buying full games with loads of content, have a problem with that.
