Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Fixes Flag Flub: A Puerto Rican Adventure

Spider-Man 2 dev swings into action, vows to mend Cuban flag fluttering in Miles' humble abode

Spider-Man 2 dev vows to rectify Cuban flag issue in Miles’ house.

Hey there, fellow gamers! We’ve got some news straight from the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that’s bound to make you chuckle. It seems like the developers at Insomniac Games had a slight slip-up in Miles Morales’ virtual abode. They mistakenly placed a Cuban flag instead of the correct Puerto Rican flag. Oops!

Now, don’t get me wrong. I understand that mistakes happen, especially when there are countless details to juggle in a video game. But picture this: Miles Morales, the web-slinging hero we all know and love, wakes up every day feeling fabulous in his superhero neighborhood, only to be greeted by a flag that doesn’t quite match his Puerto Rican heritage. Talk about a fashion faux pas!

Can you imagine the confusion? Miles and his mom, Rio Morales, have always proudly celebrated their Puerto Rican roots. So, seeing the wrong flag on display inside and outside their apartment raised some eyebrows among fans. But fear not, true believers! We’re here to tell you that Insomniac Games has heard the cries of the virtual Puerto Rican community and is ready to set things straight.

In a Reddit post that gained significant attention, a user named TheHouselessTurtle shared a screenshot showcasing the misplaced Cuban flag. Other gamers soon chimed in on X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the flag flub. One user cleverly pointed out that, despite the error, players can unlock a suit later in the game that proudly displays the correct Puerto Rican flag. Progress, friends!

Insomniac Games wasted no time in responding to the fan outcry. James Stevenson, the studio’s community and marketing director, personally addressed the issue in a heartfelt post. He assured players that a fix was in the works to replace the Cuban flag with the appropriate Puerto Rican flag. Although we don’t have an exact timeline for this update, it’s fantastic to see the developers taking swift action to rectify the situation.

In the meantime, let’s not forget to give credit where credit is due. Eurogamer recently awarded Spider-Man 2 a solid four out of five stars. Amidst all the excitement and web-slinging action, they found the game to be simple, familiar, and occasionally cluttered, but an absolute blast overall.
