There looks to be a total of 25 different costumes to unlock. Most of them were blacked out in my demo, but the new outfits that did appear include the aforementioned Spider-Man Noir, Secret War, the Scarlet Spider (classic hoodie version), Spider-Armor Mark II, the Spider-Man: Homecoming suit, and that film's home-made costume. One outfit also carried the distinct silhouette of Spider-Man 2099's costume.

Another detail is that though every suit is different and each one features its own unique power, you can customise further with up to three modifications that can stack bonus effects. This upgrading is done through tokens earned by completing other tasks in the game, and there are different types of tokens to earn. So, for example, you earn base tokens by clearing out strongholds held by villains throughout the city, and you earn crime tokens by listening in to the police radio and stopping various crimes in progress - I stopped a jewellery store robbery and multiple assaults during my own playthrough.

Each suit you unlock gives you a special ability (for example, the Scarlet Spider suit lets you project holographic decoys for enemies to attack), but once you've unlocked an ability you can use it with any suit.

  • Classic (Damaged)
    This familiar guise doesn't fare well in the opening minutes of play, and, thanks to Kingpin, ends up with cuts all over it. No special powers are tied to this version of the suit.
  • Classic (Repaired) – Web Blossom
    Spider-Man doesn't throw away his gear! He instead decides to repair it (and yes, you see him do this). When this outfit is as good as new again, it can unleash the Web Blossom special attack.
  • Noir
    The Noir suit was revealed in our cover story (did you know Spider-Man was on our cover?), but Insomniac didn't want to talk about the power tied to it. We now know it can activate the Sound of Silence special attack, which eliminates enemies' abilities to call in back up. This suit can be crafted when the player obtains two Backpack and two Base tokens.
  • Scarlet Spider
    I wore this suit for most of my play session. This is the Ben Reilly original, complete with the awful blue hoodie and giant webbing wrist bracelets. The level of detail in the suit is impressive. The hoodie is an independent object that moves realistically when Spidey performs acrobatic feats. Using sophisticated AR tech, Spider-Man can project holo decoys as the Scarlet Spider. They stand motionless in the environment, and look a bit like the holograms in Star Wars. These projections also use voice clips to distract foes. Peter is wildly amused by his holograms and periodically says something about them. You'll need three Crime tokens and two Landmark tokens to unlock this relic from yesteryear.
  • Spider-Armor MK II
    This black and yellow suit looks like it's made out of metal and gives Spider-Man extra defense with the bulletproof ability. When this power is activated the magnetically polarized shell can deflect bullets…even those of snipers! To purchase it you'll need one Base, one Landmark, and two Research tokens.
  • Secret War
    The oddest-looking suit in the game so far (and one of the strangest Spidey has ever worn) allows players to discharge an EMP that can stun and disable weapons. You'll need two Backpack, one Base, and two Research tokens to use it.

They GOTTA include the black suit in some form even if Venom truly isn't in the game.

Holding out on this baby making the cut, doubt it though.

spider_man_unstable_molecule_suit_by_toveice-d6ukxzy.jpg


hoping for this myself, seems reasonable.

i'd love a male version of spider gwen too (or just a female model swap!)

miles morales needs to be in there too!

the one i'm most curious about is black suit spiderman. as far as i'm aware they're avoiding the whole symbiote thing in this universe...for now at least? but it seems like such an obvious suit to have in there.

I'm not surprised that the vanilla Homecoming suit is in the game, but I'm glad that it is.

Game informer says the Ben Reilly suit has its own hoodie physics:

I will copy my post from the other thread:

So, confirmed suits:
- Classic (damaged and intact, two slots)
- Advanced
- Noir
- Infinity War's Iron Spider
- Homecoming
- Homecoming hoodie
- Velocity
- Spider-Punk
- Scarlet Spider
- Spider-Armor MkII
- Secret War

So, we know 12 of the 25 (that counting the DLC ones, without them just 9).

Remember, this game spent most of its development during the height of the Fox ban. Even if we get the Bombastic Bag-Man costume, it'll lack the Fantastic Four logo. Hell, there's no Baxter Building in this game's NYC. Same for the Future Foundation costume, but I feel like Insomniac might be able to get away with adding it without referencing the Fantastic Four.

I'd love for a extremely low-fi suit as a nod to the old games. Kinda like how there's a Max Payne 1 skin in Max Payne 3.

Good god I am so ready. I didn't know the suits all have different abilities too, that makes me even more excited.

All that and I'm probably just going to stick to the default costume for most of the game. It's my new favourite Spider Man design.

I'm probably going to be switching suits like crazy. There's just too many good ones.

This is awesome, glad to see they went the extra mile for spidey fans. As far as the Iron Spider suit, do we know if
the arms
are in?

They each have abilities and the best thing is that when you've unlocked a suit, those abilities can be used on all the suits, so you're not restricted to a suit you don't want to use just because it has your favourite ability.

Oh, that sounds pretty good. Nice of them to do that. I hadn't heard about this.
