Marvel's Spider-Man 2 mightn't be out yet, but if your excitement is so vast you're already pondering a second play-through, you'll be pleased to know the game will — like its predecessor — be getting a New Game Plus mode, but it'll be arriving sometime after launch.
That's according to Insomniac's director of community and marketing, James Stevenson, who shared the news in answer to a fan query on social media. «We' re working on an update for those features,» he explained, adding, «but they won't be in Day 1.»
Insomniac's original Marvel's Spider-Man launched in September 2018 and received a New Game Plus mode just one month later — and it appears the studio is aiming to add the feature to Spider-Man 2 in a similarly brisk fashion, with Stevenson later explaining Insomniac is hoping to get New Game Plus out to players «before end of year.»
That's not everything Insomniac has planned for Spider-Man 2 either; Stevenson also confirmed a second incoming feature alongside New Game Plus: the ability to replay missions, for those that want to relive Miles and Peter's big show-stopping moments throughout the sequel.
Eurogamer's Chris Tapsell gave Marvel's Spider-Man 2 four out of five stars when he reviewed it earlier this week, calling it «a little simple and a little over-stuffed», but above all a «game of immense charm and fluid, free-form style». And you'll be able to experience all that for yourself when Spider-Man 2 swings onto PS5 tomorrow, 20th October. Oh, and don't forget to install the launch day update before you start.
