Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 All You Need to Know: Release Date, Story, Download Size, Review Embargo, and More

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 — out next Friday on PS5 — is easily one of our most anticipated titles of the year, building upon Insomniac Games' original blockbuster tale to weave a new line for our spandex-wearing web crawlers. Yep, true to the name, this time we get to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they team up to neutralise various new threats to New York City, which include the monstrous symbiote Venom and the beast-like Kraven the Hunter. In addition to refining web-swinging and chained flowy combat — a selling point for 2018's Spider-Man — the sequel has nearly doubled the size of its open-world playground, albeit in ways that traversal never feels tedious.

Insomniac has never been shy about drawing heavy inspiration from classic Marvel moments, be it through comic books, movies or animated shows, some of which seep into this blockbuster sequel via skins or general storytelling. “...part of it, too, is not holding ourselves back by saying, ‘Oh, we can't do this because someone did it before.' Because our games are the first Spider-Man games for a lot of players, and I'd hope we're bringing new fans into Spider-Man in general and being the first Spider-Man experience for some people,” Mike Fitzgerald, Director of Core Technology, Insomniac Games told Gadgets 360. Based on our initial impressions, the title feels like an improvement in more ways than one, promising a humane story that focuses on our leads' personal lives that often interweaves with their superhero duties, in addition to the technical advancements it brings over its predecessors.
