The 2023 Insomniac Games data leak has revealed the design of Green Goblin for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. Fans have reacted with enthusiasm to the image of the villain, who sports a black hooded robe. This modern and terrifying style reflects his mental instability, moving away from the classic goblin costume to offer a darker, more realistic version of the character.

The leaked design shows a technical approach that prioritizes the animation of the robe over motorized flight. The data suggests that Insomniac has developed a cloth simulation system for the hood and folds of the garment, allowing for fluid movements during chases. This technical change also reduces the complexity of modeling armor, focusing resources on facial expressions and the transitions of his partial mask.

It seems Norman Osborn has decided to swap his purple armor for a black robe, perhaps because the series' budget couldn't stretch to more latex. Fans speculate that the hood will help him hide the dark circles from so much nighttime vengeance planning. At least, if Spider-Man throws a web at him, the new black look will better match the grime stains of New York.
