Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to continue the super-powered stories of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they face off against new foes, and new challenges. This one's PS5-only, meaning that there's real potential for Spider-Man 2 to push things forward graphically and technically. Not only that, but we now have a refined release window, pointing to a release sometime in the Fall of next year. Show While there's still a lot to learn about the highly-anticipated sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we do at least have a teaser trailer to go off of. This was shown during the game's announcement, and showed a powered-up Peter fighting alongside Miles. A voiceover hinted at a villain, before Venom stepped out of the shadows. Given how the first game ended, there are plenty of threads that could be explored in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. As we get closer to a possible release date, we'll likely hear a lot more about the plot, and about what this sequel is doing to continue the franchise. For now, here's everything we know about Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Marvel's Spider-Man 2: cut to the chase
Marvel's Spider-Man 2: release date and platforms(Image credit: Sony)Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is due to release in Fall 2023 exclusively for PS5, completely skipping PS4. This was confirmed via a Tweet by PlayStation (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab). Rumors had suggested that we would be getting a release date imminently, so it was great to have it confirmed. For now, Fall 2023 is the closest we have to a final date. We'll update if we hear more. While not confirmed, it's possible we could see Marvel's Spider-Man 2 coming to PC at a later date. We've seen Sony bringing more and more of its first-party titles to PC recently, with Marvel's Spider-Man already on the platform and Miles Morales arriving in November. We wouldn't expect Marvel's Spider-Man 2 to be available on Steam at launch, but a PC release later down the line looks likely. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: trailerReveal trailer At the very end, we got a surprise appearance of the infamous Spider-Man villain Venom – an outer-world symbiote with a passion for violence - so we expect he'll be one of the sequel's main villains. Unfortunately, there was no gameplay to analyze, but we briefly see a shot of Peter getting a power surge with his Iron Spider arms, suggesting suit powers may be making a return. We also hear an ominous voice talking over the trailer, suggesting Peter and Miles will have yet another villain to face off against. Based on their speech about looking for a challenge and formidable opponent we’d put our money on it being Kraven the Hunter – a classic Spider-Man villain with a similar attitude towards the prey he seeks out in the comics. Check out the trailer below: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: news and rumorsMarvel's Spider-Man 2 PS Store listing Noted by Twitter user Wario64 (opens in new tab), a dedicated listing for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 briefly went live on the PlayStation Store in the UK, allowing players to wishlist the upcoming PS5 game. Since Wario64’s tweet, the page has been taken down. You can, however, still see the page listed on Google (opens in new tab). Following this, developer Insomniac Games’ Community Director, James Stevenson tweeted (opens in new tab) a gif lifted from the game’s official trailer (opens in new tab), depicting the two spider-men Peter Parker and Miles Morales standing side by side.
See more Co-op on the cards? Following the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PC, dataminers have uncovered what looks like a scrapped multiplayer mode in the game files. Found by Twitter (opens in new tab) user DniweTamp (via Reddit (opens in new tab)) the files seem to show co-op and multiplayer notifications as well as some kind of PvP mode which would pit Miles Morales and Peter Parker against one another in a competition. That’s a pretty exciting thing to scrap but Insomniac never actually announced any plans for a multiplayer mode in the first place. Now fans are naturally wondering if we could see the feature make some kind of appearance in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The PlayStation blog post (opens in new tab) announcing the game pretty explicitly said that the sequel is a single-player experience but the reveal trailer did lean heavily on Peter fighting alongside Miles, something which could translate well into co-op. While it doesn't feel impossible that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 could indeed launch as a single-player experience but add a co-op element at a later date, we just can’t be sure about Insomniac’s plans until it officially confirms them. Miles Morales novel writer joins Insomniac Games Morris' addition to the team is certainly welcome news. Her novel was well-received and her knowledge of the Miles Morales character is sure to be a boon to the sequel's writing.
See more It will be a darker sequel like Empire Strikes Back This certainly makes us happy here at TRG as it hopefully means Insomniac's Spider-Man will remain its own distinct version rather than an imitation of the more family-friendly version we're used to in the MCU. Horror movie star will play Venom Todd makes a perfect choice for Venom and is sure to deliver a sinister, guttural voice that’ll have us hiding behind the couch whenever Venom is on-screen. His casting also backs up our hope that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 takes on a more horror-themed tone so we’re especially delighted to hear of his involvement. Speaking of voice actors, Yuri Lowenthal and Nadji Jeter will reprise their roles as Peter and Miles respectively. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: what we want to see(Image credit: Sony)Marvel’s Spider-Men The Spider-Duo are seen performing combo moves during the PlayStation Showcase 2021 teaser, which indicates we might be able to play as both at the same time at various points in the game, but given that it was all just a cinematic there’s no way to know for sure. A scarier side of Spider-Man We hope Insomniac delves even deeper into this and includes several other frightening characters like the Lizard, Morbius (or other Marvel vampires like Morlun), and maybe even the Jackal. We wouldn’t be surprised if Green Goblin or Hob Goblin showed up either. Curt Conners, the human scientist who transforms into the Lizard, already appeared in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales suggesting his villainous side could very well show up in the sequel. The same is true of Norman Osborn who was a key character in the first Marvel’s Spider-Man game so it might not be long before he becomes the Green Goblin. Based on the ending of Marvel’s Spider-Man’s DLC, it looks like Venom could be Harry Osborn (Norma's son) in this series. If Harry befalls some terrible fate - seemingly at the hands of Spider-Man – that could be what drives Norman Osborn to become a villain. We’ll admit that Jackal and Morlun make a lot less sense, as they tie into much longer stories like Spider-Man’s Clone Saga and Spider-Verse that would be deserving of their own dedicated game, but we’ll have to wait and see. A world beyond New York One option - especially if they take the horror route - could be to include a character like Doctor Strange who could transport us into fearsome realms, or we might see our heroes go on the run if they find Kraven the Hunter too deadly a threat to handle. Heck, we could even go to visit Symkaria the home of Silver Sable, and a location that Peter was visiting in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. New York definitely works great as a setting for Spider-Man games thanks to its looming skyscrapers that are perfect for web-swinging, but given that it's already featured in both of Insomniac's previous titles we're worried it'll grow boring eventually. Will there be a Spiderman 2 game?Marvel's Spider-Man 2 now has a narrowed release window of Fall 2023, which means it's going to be a little while yet before we're swinging though New York again. But, with developer Insomniac Games once again at the helm, it'll no doubt be worth the wait.
