A new Spider-Man tabletop RPG is coming this September. Spider-Man Midtown Mayhem, the latest expansion for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game, has been confirmed, continuing the line’s push into hero-specific adventures.
The book follows the Secret Wars and X-Men expansions as the next standalone release built on the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game system. That system lets players control Marvel heroes across original comic-inspired campaigns, using a dice pool built around the game’s signature Marvel Die. Spider-Man Midtown Mayhem arrives shortly after Spider-Man: Brand-New Day hits theaters. It gives fans a tabletop companion set in the same corner of New York the film covers, without requiring anyone to have seen the movie first.
What’s in the Spider-Man Midtown Mayhem RPG book
The 64-page expansion follows Spider-Man and the Hulk as they try to stop a gang war from breaking out between Tombstone and the Hand. Tombstone is a longtime Spider-Man crime boss, while the Hand is a ninja crime syndicate best known from Daredevil stories. The book includes full stats, character write-ups, and the story beats needed to run the adventure start to finish. Players still need the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game core rulebook, since Midtown Mayhem does not repeat the base rules on its own.
The expansion opens with a comic book prologue written by Cody Ziglar, known for his work on Spider-Punk and the recent Miles Morales: Spider-Man relaunch. Midtown Mayhem is priced at $14.99. It targets groups who already own the core rulebook and want a ready-made Spider-Man adventure rather than building one from scratch.
Where Midtown Mayhem fits in the Marvel RPG lineup
The Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game line has grown steadily since its core rulebook first launched. It keeps adding character-focused books that let individual heroes headline their own adventures, rather than folding every hero into team-wide campaigns. The Secret Wars and X-Men expansions set that pattern. Spider-Man Midtown Mayhem continues it with a villain pairing, Tombstone and the Hand, that has had little spotlight in prior Marvel tabletop material.
The release timing puts Midtown Mayhem in the same window as Spider-Man: Brand-New Day, though the expansion has not been billed as an official movie tie-in. Each expansion in the line so far has paired a specific hero with a self-contained adventure. Midtown Mayhem keeps that format intact rather than folding Spider-Man into a wider, multi-hero campaign book.
For players who already own the core rulebook, Spider-Man Midtown Mayhem gives them a self-contained Spider-Man story. It is not a required piece of the ongoing Marvel Multiverse RPG line, just an optional add-on for groups who want it. At $14.99, the book stays priced as a standalone expansion rather than a full campaign box.
