Marvel’s Spider Man 2 is the next installment in Insomniac Games’ beloved Marvel video game trilogy. The September 2023 PlayStation State of Play provided a new look at the upcoming open-world superhero set for PlayStation 5. Players can expect a bigger, grander experience on all fronts, following the adored 2018 PlayStation 4 original.
The sandbox of New York City has been a staple of the franchise’s different video game versions over the years. While the same is true for this sequel, developer Insomniac Games did not simply rehash it. In addition to the original map, Marvel’s Spider Man 2 will have new boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. In a word, the map is now twice as large.
Traversal has been an important part of the Spider Man experience, and it has earned a lot of attention. The original PS4 game was praised for its outstanding web-swinging features, which have carried over brilliantly into the sequel. This has been enhanced by the addition of web wings, which allow players to glide over short distances while remaining airborne for longer periods of time.
Players will see and visit different sections of the new world as they complete tasks, progress through the narrative, and combat adversarial forces. A new rapid travel mechanism enables players to teleport to areas unlocked as they take over different parts of a town.
Unlike earlier installments, Marvel’s Spider Man 2 will include a variety of playable characters.
This features both the renowned Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Players can freely swap between them due to their varied roles in the narrative and playstyles. This is achievable on the fly because to the power of the PlayStation 5 SSD.
The open world is huge, but it isn’t just for show. Marvel’s Spider Man 2 will keep players interested with a variety of side quests and activities scattered around the sandbox. These can include anything from weird symbols to a strange drone producing strange waves. Interacting with them will unlock new quests that will allow players to learn more about the game’s lore and meet iconic villains.
Players will be able to track missions, activities, and more via an in-game smartphone app. This is also how the protagonists will communicate with one another and other New York City residents. In terms of the latter, they will also seek the heroes’ assistance in completing one-of-a-kind tasks.
To take on the many bad guys in New York City, players must be prepared to deal with any emergency at any time. As they finish challenges, players will be able to acquire new ways to beat down foes, such as increased skills, new gadgets, and more. This contains the all-new Suit Tech system, which allows Spider Man’s abilities to be upgraded.
