Will there be online leaderboard challenge support in PlayStation 4 exclusive Marvel's Spider-Man? No.

News of the missing feature comes way of Creative Director Bryan Intihar, who makes a habit of interacting with fans with burning questions on Twitter, and who confirmed the lack of leaderboard support in the following, definitive tweet:

As you can see, Intihar doesn't divulge any reason why he and Insomniac Games opted to exclude the feature. And while it's possible it could come as part of some free post-launch update, it seems unlikely. So, if you're were looking forward to taking a shot at online leaderboards, you're out of luck, at least at launch.

The exclusion of online leaderboards isn't a huge surprise, but it is a little disappointing. A web-swinging online challenge where players try and swing around the city as quickly as possible does sound awesome after all. That said, will the feature's absence be a sticking point for anyone? Probably not.

Marvel's Spider-Man is set to release on September 7th exclusively via the PlayStation 4. Its price-point will begin at $59.99 USD.
