Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps is a collection of downloadable content (DLC) developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the 2018 video game Marvel's Spider-Man. Based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, it is inspired by the character's long-running comic book mythology and adaptations in other media. Released in three distinct chapters, The Heist, Turf Wars, and Silver Lining, the DLC serves as an epilogue to the main game taking place three months following its conclusion and follows Spider-Man as he contends with a new crime wave led by the physically enhanced mob boss Hammerhead.
The game is presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on Spider-Man's traversal and combat abilities. Spider-Man can freely move around New York City, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, and unlocking new gadgets and suits by progressing through the main story or completing tasks. The player is able to complete side missions away from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Combat focuses on chaining attacks together against numerous foes while avoiding damage, using the environment and webs to incapacitate foes.
The City That Never Sleeps was released monthly for the PlayStation 4, from October to December 2018, and received generally positive reviews from critics. The base game and The City That Never Sleeps content were collected together and released as Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered in November 2020 for PlayStation 5, bundled with the Ultimate Edition of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales for the console; it was later made available as a standalone release. A port of Remastered for Windows was released for Steam and Epic Games Store in August 2022, developed by Nixxes Software.
The DLC features a dedication to Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee, who died shortly before the release of the second chapter.[1]
