One of the most surprising (and awesome) titles to come out of E3 2016 was Marvel and Insomniac Games’ upcoming Spider-Man game, exclusively for the PlayStation 4. If a listing on IMDB is to be believed, the villain and some of the plot may have been leaked ahead of time.

According to the IMDB listing of the Spider-Man PS4 game (which has since been deleted), Spider-Man will square off against one of the most infamous members of his Rogues Gallery, the Green Goblin.

The listing also has a small snippet about what Peter Parker may be dealing with besides the Green Goblin. The word “sinister” being used could allude to the Sinister Six being formed for Spidey to take down, but until more information is released by Insomniac Games, fans won’t know for sure.

Also, as with many IMDB listings, these pages can be edited by anyone (like Wikipedia). Plus, IMDB is better known for its movies and television show listings than video games. The site did reveal some of the cast of Mortal Kombat X in 2014, however, but fans should take this listing with a grain of salt.

Insomniac Games did come out on Twitter when asked about the IMDB listing and had this to say:

So while the prospects of Green Goblin and the Sinister Six appearing in Spider-Man PS4 are likely, fans will have to wait for official word to get confirmation. The Spider-Man PS4 listing also says the game will be coming in 2017, which, while likely, an official release date for the game has not been given.
