==Plot==
The story takes place several months after the end of the main game and follows the return of [[Peter Parker|Spider-Man]]'s ex-girlfriend [[Black Cat]] to [[New York City|New York]] for a heist, which draws him into a conflict with the [[Maggia]] crime families.
 
 
===The Heist===
 
[[Mary Jane Watson]] of the ''Daily Bugle'' is working on a story regarding the [[Maggia]] crime families and their activities now that the [[Kingpin]] is out of the way, leaving a power vacuum that each of the Maggia families want to claim. The police had raided one of the families recently and among the items recovered, was a lost masterpiece painting called "The Maria". The painting is currently on display at an art museum. Mary Jane receives a tip that one of the families is planning on stealing it back, and alerts [[Peter Parker|Spider-Man]].
   
  +
Spider-Man investigates the museum where he takes out several Maggia thugs before encountering [[Felicia Hardy|Black Cat]], who takes The Maria and breaks it in half, revealing that she is in fact after a data drive hidden within it before escaping. Apparently working for [[Hammerhead]], one of the five Maggia dons, she has been hired to steal four data drives belonging to the other dons for him, which triggers a gang war between the families.
===Plot summary===
 
[[Mary Jane Watson]] is an associate editor for the ''Daily Bugle'' newspaper. She has been working on a story regarding the Maggia crime families and their activities now that the [[Kingpin]] is out of the way. The police had raided one of the families recently and among the items recovered, was a lost masterpiece painting called "The Maria". The painting is currently on display at the Manhattan Museum of Contemporary Art. Mary Jane receives a tip that one of the families is planning on stealing it back. She calls Peter who decides to go to the museum and check it out.
 
   
 
Spider-Man locates Black Cat and confronts her, wanting to know about the contents of the drives, to which she claims ignorance. When Spider-Man asks why she's working with Hammerhead, she reveals that he will kill her son if she doesn't and retreats. As Black Cat proceeds to steal more Maggia data drives throughout the city, Spider-Man learns from Mary Jane that long ago, the families agreed to put all their assets in one place to keep the peace. The information to access it was then split into five USB drives between the families. Whoever holds all the drives, can take the assets away from the other families and bankrupt them.
On arrival, Spider-Man notices several thugs outside, attempting to break into the museum. After defeating them, he checks the other entrances. He notices a hole cut into the skylight and checks it out. Inside he doesn't see anyone. Mary Jane suggests he check the security cameras. The security door requires a palm print.
 
   
  +
Spider-Man heads for the location of the last drive but Black Cat beats him there. After a long chase, he catches up to her. Explaining that he knows about the nature of the drives, he talks her into letting him help; she agrees to stall Hammerhead while Spider-Man finds her son. Black Cat then learns that Hammerhead recently purchased a massive vault to store high value items in, and contacts Spider-Man as she is positive the vault is where her son would be. Spider-Man locates the vault in a storage harbor on the Hudson River, and the two work together to take out Hammerhead's men guarding the area. However, Black Cat disappears as more Maggia operatives arrive.
Once inside the security room, Spider-Man checks the cameras and realizes one of them is turned off. He turns it back on and sees that it is pointed at The Maria, hanging on a wall. He leaves and checks the painting in its location. As he does, [[Hammerhead]] thugs, apparently tired of trying to break in the hard way, settle for smashing their way in with vehicles. Spider-Man finds a higher perch to watch.
 
   
  +
After defeating them, Spider-Man heads inside the vault. As he notices a briefcase inside that appears to have held a USB drive, Black Cat shuts the vault door behind him, revealing that she has taken Hammerhead's own drive and now has all five after having given Hammerhead four fakes. Before escaping, she admits that her "son" was just a lie to trick Spider-Man into helping her. Learning of Black Cat's deception, Hammerhead has his men rig her penthouse to explode, and despite Spider-Man's attempts to save her, she seemingly dies, as Hammerhead watches the explosion from a safe distance before leaving.
Mary Jane suggests that Peter takes out the thugs quietly. The thugs panic, knowing they are running out of time and decide to grab things to steal and run, but are subdued by Spider-Man.
 
   
 
===Turf Wars===
[[File:The Maria.png|thumb|left|200px|Spider-Man finds Black Cat attempting to steal The Maria]]
 
  +
Days later, gang war in the city has gotten even worse, as families clash against each other and the police in the open. Spider-Man, alongside [[Yuri Watanabe]], discovers the location of one of Hammerhead's bases, with a great chance of Hammerhead himself being at the locale. Both infiltrate the location alongside a S.W.A.T team, with Spider-Man staying behind to distract Hammerhead's reinforcements. Unfortunately, Yuri and her team are caught by Hammerhead himself, who slaughters the entire team, with Yuri coming out as the sole survivor, thanks to Spider-Man's intervention. This leaves Yuri deeply traumatized, vowing revenge on Hammerhead.
Spider-Man returns to The Maria and thinks the painting is safe behind the security glass that closed over when the windows were smashed. He is about to walk away when Black Cat climbs through the hole she just made in the way. While trying to find out what she is doing, more thugs arrive, which she happily points out. After defeating them, Spider-Man returns to the painting only to watch her break it in half, and remove a USB drive from the wooden frame. She points out a large hanging ball about to fall on a couple of the thugs, large enough to kill them and makes her escape while Spider-Man is busy.
 
   
  +
Later, Spider-Man discovers that Hammerhead is planning to capture the other four Maggia dons to kill them while transmitting this to the whole city. He also discovers that Hammerhead is after something called "Project Olympus". To ensure that Hammerhead won't kidnap the Maggia leaders, Spider-Man starts working alongside the police to keep them safe, but Hammerhead still manages to abduct all of them, taking them to be cemented on a construction site. Spider-Man discovers this and goes there to save the leaders. He is able to save them, but encounters Hammerhead himself once more, now wearing a strength-enhancing exoskeleton that he stole from [[Sable International]]. Spider-Man manages to defeat Hammerhead, but is interrupted by a vengeful Yuri, who proceeds to shoot Hammerhead dead.
Spider-Man gets a call from Mary Jane some time later to let him know that while she wasn't able to find out what could possibly be on the drive, she did learn that the Hammerhead family now has it and the Maggia are freaked out about it. It is obvious Black Cat is working for the Hammerheads. The police advise that a Maggia family witness has gone missing and give a location. This turns out to be a distraction, but Spider-Man learns of the last known location of Black Cat.
 
   
  +
In a post-credits scene, an emergency vehicle carries Hammerhead who is reanimated by one of his goons disguised as a paramedic.
Spider-Man calls Mary Jane, who remembers that the Ciceros – another Maggia family – have a front on Waverly Street. As Spider-Man approaches the door, Black Cat rushes out and pins him to the ground. She breaks the head off a small statue and removes a USB drive before handing the statue to Spider-Man and disappearing again. Thugs burst out the door, and accuse Spider-Man of working with Black Cat and the Hammerheads. Spider-Man defeats them.
 
   
 
===Silver Lining===
Black Cat is waiting for Spider-Man on a nearby rooftop. When he inquires as to why she is stealing the drives for Hammerhead, she reveals that if she doesn't, they will kill her son. Spider-Man calls Mary Jane to tell her about the second drive from a second family. She believes the Hammerheads are making a play against the other families.
 
  +
Sometime after, Spider-Man and Mary Jane discover that not only is Hammerhead still alive and hiding, he is also looking for more Sable International technology and weapons to arm his mafia. This culminates with the return of [[Silver Sable]] herself to [[New York City|New York]] to reclaim her stolen tech from Hammerhead. After working with Spider-Man to interrogate one of his henchmen, Sable discovers that Hammerhead is planning to meet her at the top of the Colexco building in [[Midtown]]. Enraged, she flies with her jet to the location despite Spider-Man's warning that she could be in danger, but his efforts are in vain as Sable is caught on a trap orchestrated by Hammerhead.
   
  +
After they fight together against Hammerhead's goons, Hammerhead himself appears, now completely transformed into a cyborg through his usage of Sable International's Project Olympus armor. He overpowers the two, and tries to kill Spider-Man by pushing him against the jet's engine. However, Black Cat appears and saves Spider-Man by grabbing him away from the scene. Together, Peter and Felicia reunite, with Felicia apologizing to him for her previous actions. Before she departs, she gives him one of the data drives from before to help defeat Hammerhead.
The police dispatch reports a burglary matching the Black Cat's modus operandi. Spider-Man reaches the location but Felicia is long gone. A security guard has been injured and Spider-Man learns from an EMT that the flash from a flare was involved.
 
   
  +
Spider-Man learns that Hammerhead has abducted Silver Sable and goes to save her, tracking her down to an underground hideout. He eventually finds her being tortured by one of Hammerhead's men, and rescues her. Using the data drive that Black Cat gave Spider-Man earlier, they discover that to defeat Hammerhead, they must melt down his steel forehead with massive heat. Together, Spider-Man and Silver Sable go to Sable International's secret New York base on the Hudson River where he helps her set a powerful laser on one of her jets. Hammerhead arrives, and Spider-Man fights him on the ground while Silver Sable uses the laser to break through the steel in his head. After a long fight, Sable manages to defeat Hammerhead by crashing her jet into him. She then says farewell to Spider-Man, who requests a ride back to Manhattan.
Following the trail, Spider-Man finds a member of the Mauchio crime family injured on a street. As he approaches, more show up convinced that Spider-Man was involved. Spider-Man takes them out and continues following the trail, which leads to more of Hammerhead's men. One of the Hammerhead thugs is about to take out one of his own for allowing Black Cat to have the Mauchio's USB drive, but Spider-Man intervenes.
 
   
  +
During the credits, a tribute to [[wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] is shown. In a post-credits scene, Spider-Man trains [[Miles Morales]] who is wearing a Spider-Man mask.
Only one more drive is left before Hammerhead has them all. Spider-Man calls Mary Jane to let her know, and also tells her about Black Cat working for the Hammerheads to save her son, and that Peter thinks he could be the father. She hangs up upset, but calls him back a short while later. She has learned that long ago the families agreed to put all their assets in one place to keep the peace. The information to access it was then split into the USB drives. Whoever holds all the drives, can take the assets away from the other families and bankrupt them.

==Reception==
Spider-Man heads for the location of the last family but Black Cat beats him there. He is waiting when she comes out and confronts her. She shocks him with an EMP, leaving him unable to use his webbing. He then chases her down. Eventually the webbing reboots and both Spider-Man and Black Cat take to the rooftops. During the chase, Spider-Man asks Felicia if he is the father of her son, but she refuses to tell him anything other than to leave her alone. Spider-Man uses his webbing to slow her down and eventually catches her.
 
 
Initial reviews for ''The City That Never Sleeps'' were mostly positive. Critics called "The Heist", the first piece of the three-part DLC saga, a "fantastic continuation" of the core game, praising its character work and story missions.<ref name="Game Informer Review">{{cite web|url=https://www.gameinformer.com/dlc/2018/10/22/spider-man-the-heist-impressions-a-fantastic-continuation|title=Spider-Man: The Heist Impressions – A Fantastic Continuation|website=Game Informer|access-date=October 25, 2018}}</ref><ref name="IGN Review">{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/10/24/marvels-spider-man-ps4-the-heist-dlc-review|title=Marvel's Spider-Man (PS4) - The Heist DLC Review|website=IGN|access-date=October 25, 2018}}</ref> However, critics noted that its gameplay, particularly the [[Missions#Citywide activities|side objectives]], felt "fun but repetitive", describing the DLC as "more of the same", but enjoying the story nonetheless despite its short length.<ref name="IGN Review"/><ref name="Kotaku Review">{{cite web|url=https://kotaku.com/spider-man-s-heist-dlc-is-fun-but-familiar-1829944448|title=Spider-Man’s Heist DLC Is Fun But Familiar|website=Kotaku|access-date=October 25, 2018}}</ref><ref name="Push Square Review">{{cite web|url=http://www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps4/marvels_spider-man_the_heist|title=Marvel's Spider-Man: The Heist Review|website=Push Square|access-date=October 25, 2018}}</ref>
 
He convinces Black Cat to let him help save her son, saying that if she gives up the last drive, her son will only be a loose end. She agrees to stall Hammerhead for a couple days to give them a chance to find him first.
 
 
Mary Jane follows up on a license plate Spider-Man asked her to run. It leads to an old storage company owned by one of Hammerhead's old friends. She calls and lets him know, but decides to take a look around herself. Mary Jane steals shipping data from a laptop and gets out without getting caught.
 
 
Spider-Man meets with Black Cat at one of Hammerhead's gang locations. She received a tip from a friend that something valuable was being kept in the office above the bar. Spider-Man agrees to create a distraction so she can sneak inside unseen. Once inside, she learns that Hammerhead recently purchased a room-sized impenetrable vault to store high value items in. She continues to look for more information while Spider-Man takes out the thugs outside.
 
 
After the last one is defeated, she comes back outside. She didn't find out anything else, but is positive the vault is where her son would be. Mary Jane calls and Spider-Man lets her know about the vault. She is hoping the shipping information, once decrypted, will give them an address. It does and Spider-Man meets Black Cat at the location. There are eighteen thugs to defeat and multiple security lasers to avoid. The two work together to get through it.
 
 
Black Cat meets back up with Spider-Man and suggests he check out the shipping containers while she checks out the nearby building. In one of the containers are a supply of weapons designed by [[Sable International|Silver Sable International]]. Within minutes, a truck roll up with thugs carrying more stolen Sable weapons. They see Spider-Man, and attack.
 
 
After defeating them, Spider-Man heads for the building. He sees the vault and notices that it is open. After stepping inside, he notices a briefcase that appears to have held a USB drive. He starts to realize he has been played again when the vault door shuts behind him. Black Cat has taken Hammerhead's drive and now has all five after having given Hammerhead four fakes. After admitting everything she had told him about her son was a lie, including even having a son, she hears voices and leaves. Thugs come to check the vault, giving Spider-Man an opportunity to escape.
 
 
Spider-Man learns from a conversation between the men that Hammerhead's drive has a tracker on it. Hammerhead sends his men to find Black Cat and kill her. He also has men stationed at her penthouse to blow it up if she goes home. Spider-Man, despite everything, still wants to save her if he can. He gets to the penthouse rooftop just in time to see her grab the handle of the door. He yells, she turns, but it's too late; the penthouse explodes and Felicia presumably dies, devastating Peter.
 
 
==Turf Wars==
 
"Turf Wars", the second DLC expansion, was released November 20, 2018. Like the first episode, it adds new missions, activities, enemies, trophies, as well as three unlockable suits ([[Spider Armor - MK I Suit|Spider Armor - MK I]], [[Spider-Clan Suit|Spider-Clan]], and [[Iron Spider Armor]]).

Plot

The Heist

Mary Jane Watson of the Daily Bugle is working on a story regarding the Maggia crime families and their activities now that the Kingpin is out of the way, leaving a power vacuum that each of the Maggia families want to claim. The police had raided one of the families recently and among the items recovered, was a lost masterpiece painting called "The Maria". The painting is currently on display at an art museum. Mary Jane receives a tip that one of the families is planning on stealing it back, and alerts Spider-Man.

Spider-Man investigates the museum where he takes out several Maggia thugs before encountering Black Cat, who takes The Maria and breaks it in half, revealing that she is in fact after a data drive hidden within it before escaping. Apparently working for Hammerhead, one of the five Maggia dons, she has been hired to steal four data drives belonging to the other dons for him, which triggers a gang war between the families.

Spider-Man locates Black Cat and confronts her, wanting to know about the contents of the drives, to which she claims ignorance. When Spider-Man asks why she's working with Hammerhead, she reveals that he will kill her son if she doesn't and retreats. As Black Cat proceeds to steal more Maggia data drives throughout the city, Spider-Man learns from Mary Jane that long ago, the families agreed to put all their assets in one place to keep the peace. The information to access it was then split into five USB drives between the families. Whoever holds all the drives, can take the assets away from the other families and bankrupt them.

Spider-Man heads for the location of the last drive but Black Cat beats him there. After a long chase, he catches up to her. Explaining that he knows about the nature of the drives, he talks her into letting him help; she agrees to stall Hammerhead while Spider-Man finds her son. Black Cat then learns that Hammerhead recently purchased a massive vault to store high value items in, and contacts Spider-Man as she is positive the vault is where her son would be. Spider-Man locates the vault in a storage harbor on the Hudson River, and the two work together to take out Hammerhead's men guarding the area. However, Black Cat disappears as more Maggia operatives arrive.

After defeating them, Spider-Man heads inside the vault. As he notices a briefcase inside that appears to have held a USB drive, Black Cat shuts the vault door behind him, revealing that she has taken Hammerhead's own drive and now has all five after having given Hammerhead four fakes. Before escaping, she admits that her "son" was just a lie to trick Spider-Man into helping her. Learning of Black Cat's deception, Hammerhead has his men rig her penthouse to explode, and despite Spider-Man's attempts to save her, she seemingly dies, as Hammerhead watches the explosion from a safe distance before leaving.

Turf Wars

Days later, gang war in the city has gotten even worse, as families clash against each other and the police in the open. Spider-Man, alongside Yuri Watanabe, discovers the location of one of Hammerhead's bases, with a great chance of Hammerhead himself being at the locale. Both infiltrate the location alongside a S.W.A.T team, with Spider-Man staying behind to distract Hammerhead's reinforcements. Unfortunately, Yuri and her team are caught by Hammerhead himself, who slaughters the entire team, with Yuri coming out as the sole survivor, thanks to Spider-Man's intervention. This leaves Yuri deeply traumatized, vowing revenge on Hammerhead.

Later, Spider-Man discovers that Hammerhead is planning to capture the other four Maggia dons to kill them while transmitting this to the whole city. He also discovers that Hammerhead is after something called "Project Olympus". To ensure that Hammerhead won't kidnap the Maggia leaders, Spider-Man starts working alongside the police to keep them safe, but Hammerhead still manages to abduct all of them, taking them to be cemented on a construction site. Spider-Man discovers this and goes there to save the leaders. He is able to save them, but encounters Hammerhead himself once more, now wearing a strength-enhancing exoskeleton that he stole from Sable International. Spider-Man manages to defeat Hammerhead, but is interrupted by a vengeful Yuri, who proceeds to shoot Hammerhead dead.

In a post-credits scene, an emergency vehicle carries Hammerhead who is reanimated by one of his goons disguised as a paramedic.

Silver Lining

Sometime after, Spider-Man and Mary Jane discover that not only is Hammerhead still alive and hiding, he is also looking for more Sable International technology and weapons to arm his mafia. This culminates with the return of Silver Sable herself to New York to reclaim her stolen tech from Hammerhead. After working with Spider-Man to interrogate one of his henchmen, Sable discovers that Hammerhead is planning to meet her at the top of the Colexco building in Midtown. Enraged, she flies with her jet to the location despite Spider-Man's warning that she could be in danger, but his efforts are in vain as Sable is caught on a trap orchestrated by Hammerhead.

After they fight together against Hammerhead's goons, Hammerhead himself appears, now completely transformed into a cyborg through his usage of Sable International's Project Olympus armor. He overpowers the two, and tries to kill Spider-Man by pushing him against the jet's engine. However, Black Cat appears and saves Spider-Man by grabbing him away from the scene. Together, Peter and Felicia reunite, with Felicia apologizing to him for her previous actions. Before she departs, she gives him one of the data drives from before to help defeat Hammerhead.

Spider-Man learns that Hammerhead has abducted Silver Sable and goes to save her, tracking her down to an underground hideout. He eventually finds her being tortured by one of Hammerhead's men, and rescues her. Using the data drive that Black Cat gave Spider-Man earlier, they discover that to defeat Hammerhead, they must melt down his steel forehead with massive heat. Together, Spider-Man and Silver Sable go to Sable International's secret New York base on the Hudson River where he helps her set a powerful laser on one of her jets. Hammerhead arrives, and Spider-Man fights him on the ground while Silver Sable uses the laser to break through the steel in his head. After a long fight, Sable manages to defeat Hammerhead by crashing her jet into him. She then says farewell to Spider-Man, who requests a ride back to Manhattan.

During the credits, a tribute to Stan Lee is shown. In a post-credits scene, Spider-Man trains Miles Morales who is wearing a Spider-Man mask.

Reception

Initial reviews for The City That Never Sleeps were mostly positive. Critics called "The Heist", the first piece of the three-part DLC saga, a "fantastic continuation" of the core game, praising its character work and story missions.[1][2] However, critics noted that its gameplay, particularly the side objectives, felt "fun but repetitive", describing the DLC as "more of the same", but enjoying the story nonetheless despite its short length.[2][3][4]
