Insomniac popped by San Diego Comic Con yesterday for to host a panel for their upcoming PS5 superhero sequel Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The new story trailer is all about Kraven as one new antagonist, Venom, the symbiotic suit that has become an iconic part of the Spider-Man story, and the shared story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

The trailer gives us a first look at how Venom will appear in the game, having previously seen Venom as a suit for Peter Parker in the gameplay reveal in May, though we also see some of the personal troubles our two heroes are going through, how Peter’s personality is affected by the symbiote, and Kraven’s arrival in New York on a mysterious hunt.

Senior Narrative Director Jon Paquette said, “At the beginning of our story, our Spider-Men are at the top of their game, but both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are struggling with their personal lives. Miles is trying to find time to write his college entrance essay, but he keeps procrastinating and focusing on Spider-Work instead. Meanwhile, Peter is underwater on payments for Aunt May’s house, but he can’t sell, it means too much to him. And just like Miles, Peter tries (and fails) to find balance with so many responsibilities. MJ wants to help Pete with the mortgage, but her job is on the line now that J. Jonah Jameson is back at the Bugle and looking to clean house. Our heroes have arrived at a confluence of crossroads, with uncertain futures, and some tough decisions ahead.”

Further to the story elements, Insomniac opened up about some other new game elements. There’s new gear and abilities, including Peter’s Spider-Arms and new Symbiote powers, while Miles now has two forms of bioelectric Venom to every fight. Add to that new Spider-Gadgets
