We still have to wait ten days before we can get our hands on Insomniac Games' highly anticipated Spider-Man, but the developers have already started focusing on the expansions coming to the game after launch. We already knew that we'd get more content via The City That Never Sleeps, but now we finally know when the first expansion will arrive and a bit more about what it'll contain.

It's important to note that these details reveal a minor character from the main game that some of you might not know will be in the game yet, so you shouldn't read the next paragraph if you want to avoid any details about one of the side-missions.

The first expansion is called The Heist, and will be available on October 23. With a title like that, it's no surprise that it'll put the spotlight on Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat. You won't meet her face-to-face in the core game, but this expansion will change that.

That encounter will lead us to take on new missions and challenges which will introduce us to a new faction of enemies. All of us want to look good when meeting new people, so we're also getting three new suits to unlock for the occasion.

These are the only details the developer wanted to share about The Heist right now, probably because anything else would be too spoilery. What they do reveal is when the two other expansions will arrive, as we now know that Turf Wars will arrive sometime in November and Silver Lining in December.

We also have some news to share of our own, as we're now allowed to reveal that our review will be published at 3 PM BST / 4 PM CEST on September 4, so stay tuned for that.
