Players of the highly anticipated video game “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” took to social media to ask developers to correct a few scenes, which have confused the Puerto Rican and the Cuban flags in a game known to celebrate the main character's Puerto Rican heritage.
The character, Miles Morales, is recognized by fans as one of the few Latino mainstream superheroes.
When Insomniac Games released the new PlayStation 5 game featuring Morales on Friday, it included at least two scenes in which the Puerto Rican and the Cuban flags were mixed up, which was pointed out by fans over the weekend. The company is reportedly working to fix the mistake. As of Tuesday, no specific time for the fix had been provided.
