Of course,given the stellar work that Insomniac Games have put intoMarvel’s Spider-Man, it’s only right that they deserve to have a shout-out — regardless of how muted it might be — in their own game, at the very least.
This studio is next to another landmark, the Rand Corporation — a reference to Iron Fist — and is located in the northern part of Midtown. The fact that the building number used by the building in-game is the same as the one in real life — 2255 — is a neat little touch as well.
