Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will be 'massive', voice actor teases

techradar.com:

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be “massive”, according to the voice actor who plays the web-slinging Peter Parker in Insomniac’s critically-acclaimed superhero series. 

In an interview with ComicBookMovie.com(opens in new tab), voice actor Yuri Lowenthal revealed some tantalizing titbits about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ahead of its release on PS5 later this year, including what we can expect from the scale of the highly-anticipated sequel.

“I’ve still got a little bit [more work] to do”, said Lowenthal. “It’s a massive game, so I’m still doing a little bit of work.” 

Lowenthal’s emphasis on the size of the sequel is certainly interesting. The original 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man’s open world was nothing to sniff at. In a sterling piece of investigative journalism, one writer calculated that the game’s virtual Manhattan was roughly a quarter of the size of the real thing (via Twinfinite(opens in new tab)). That places the original Marvel’s Spider-Man open world at approximately 14.8 square kilometers – an immense size for any one person to explore on their own. 

Lowenthal lamented that he “[couldn’t] really talk about the game much”, but described Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s scale as “astonishing". Though light on specific details, Lowenthal’s comments suggest we could see an even bigger open world this time around, though Insomniac Games hasn’t confirmed this.

In addition, Lowenthal seemed to confirm that the sequel is on track to meet its late 2023 (between September and November) release window. “I know [Insomniac are] confident about their release date, and [they’ve] always been good about that," Lowenthal told the publication.

Thanks in part to the pandemic, the games industry has been no stranger to delays in recent years. Starfield,
