Hey everybody, I'm Ted Price, President and Founder of Insomniac Games.
First, thank you to the millions of fans who have already been swinging through the streets
of Marvel's New York in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
For us at Insomniac, we have been humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response to the
game, and we have loved hearing about players' experiences as they've explored the city playing
as Spear Parker, Miles Morales, and some other characters I won't mention because spoilers.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 represents our passion for telling authentic stories to which our
fans can relate, whether we're portraying the challenges Miles faces as he struggles
to apply to college while keeping the city safe. Or watching Harry Osborne battle a debilitating
disease while making impossible choices, or cheering on Real Morales as she continues to stay strong
for her son after a devastating loss. Our goal is to provide representation through a diverse,
believable cast of characters who collaborate to overcome monumental odds.
Now to accomplish this, to present these characters in an authentic fashion,
It's important for us to have a development team that's representative as well, one that
ultimately reflects the diversity of our audience.
Now, frankly, we and the industry have a long way to go to achieve this goal, but we're
making progress.
One of the ways we can help increase diversity in our industry is by partnering with organizations
who help underrepresented and low-income youth with an on-ramp to video game development.
Therefore, we and Sony Interactive Entertainment, with support from Marvel and Disney, have partnered
with GameHeads, a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California. GameHeads prepares and
trains low-income and underrepresented youth for careers in the tech in the video game industry.
Students at GameHeads learn how to code, animate, design, manage projects, and work effectively in
teams. GameHeads gives these deserving students the skills to open doors that for them have often
been closed. Now, how are we partnered? Well, on behalf of Insomniac and Sony Interactive Entertainment,
I am excited to announce a suit pack with two new Spider-Man suits per Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
The two suits in the pack have been designed by GameHans artists and the pack will be available for purchase for $4.99.
100% of the purchase price from the sales of the suit pack in the United States is going to be donated to GameHans during the first calendar quarter of
2024 up to one million dollars so that they continue their mission. Now as you our fans know, we don't sell suits in our games
But in this case, we have a special opportunity to make a meaningful difference by directly
helping underrepresented and disadvantaged youth.
Please consider purchasing these suits to benefit an incredible charity and take part
in making a lasting and positive impact on people's lives.
On behalf of all of us at Insomniac Games, PlayStation Studios, and Sony Interactive Entertainment,
thank you for your support, and thank you for considering picking up some really cool
suits to benefit an important cause.
Thank you so much.
