Story Highlights

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the latest work of art from the side of Insomniac Games.
While the game is largely bug-free, some bugs and glitches tend to pop up sometimes.
A new glitch hilariously turns Peter’s arms back and makes him run like Naruto from the anime.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest releases this year that had anticipation rolling for it ever since it was announced at 2021’s State of Play. The action-adventure title has kept fans high-spirited with a smooth gameplay experience, but a new glitch seems to be trying to change that in hilarious fashion. @who0407oki on X (previously Twitter) has turned Peter into Naruto from the anime.

While clearly unintentional, the bug glitches one of New York’s Spider-Men in an eerie way, with Peter’s arms facing backward in the aftermath of him ramming into a wall while riding a bicycle. The sequence is strange for sure, but not as uncanny as what it leads to—a Naruto-inspired style of web-swinging that does more harm than good. For reference, here is how folks in the Naruto anime sprint.
