Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans only have to wait a little longer until the game releases on PS5. Today’s State of Play event gave fans a feast to tide them over until next month by dropping not one, but two trailers highlighting everything that players can do and teases of what’s to come that haven’t been announced. For example, one of the trailers focused solely on covering New York within the game and how you’ll get to explore it like never before. The game’s creative director revealed that because of the addition of Queens and Coney Island, the game’s size has basically doubled.

After watching episode 10, many fans are wondering whether there is a release date and time scheduled. Is the episode expected to come out soon or has the show ended? Here’s all you need to know.

Created by Carl Weber, (alternatively known as Carl Weber’s The Family Business) is a crime-drama show based on Weber’s namesake book series.

Upon booting up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, I did what any self-respecting New Yorker would do: I beelined it toward my favorite part of the city as soon as possible, to see how Insomniac Games had recreated the locale. In my case, this meant veering toward South Brooklyn, even as Sandman was wreaking havoc on the infrastructure of Manhattan’s Financial District. However, as I swung beneath the gothic arches of Brooklyn Bridge, the better to glimpse the steel girders and stevedore cranes of Red Hook from a distance, the vista confirmed what I had feared deep down: My favorite neighborhood wasn’t even there.

Mysterio is causing chaos in New York City in , and he's crafted a series of challenges for Miles Morales' Spider-Man. These challenges, known as Mysteriums or Mysterium Dev Diaries, throw Miles into heavy combat with a few twists like poisonous gas, invisible enemies, and other strange games to mess with Miles' head.

NYC contains five boroughs, however, and the first two games – and – both notably took place solely within a truncated Manhattan. adds portions of Brooklyn and Queens to the mix, practically doubling the map area, even though the game itself takes roughly the same time to beat.

For my money, web-swinging around New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man is perhaps the singular best game mechanic I’ve come across in the last decade or so. It feels so incredibly right, and almost everything else in that game is built off it. I never really wanted to use fast-travel features, because swinging around was much more fun, and finding hidden missions and helping citizens in trouble as you traverse NYC is almost as rewarding as following the game’s main story. Of course, a great mechanic isn’t enough to make a great game, but Spider-Man is one of the most successful open-world style games I can think of, because it felt packed without being overwhelming.

“Those slavering jaws; the lolling tongue; the rime of saliva on the grizzled chops.”

is electric, telling a breakneck story of two protagonists and everyone in their immediate circle with continually escalating, incredibly crisp gameplay. Right from the outset, feels as though it’s taken a significant step above its 2018 and 2020 predecessors. A large and varied cast of characters is impressively juggled while players are set loose as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. City-wide spectacle is constantly juxtaposed with intimate, character-driven moments, all underpinned by the truly unsettling emergence of the alien symbiote hoping to reach the height of its potential as Venom.

Spider-Man 2 is one of the most confident sequels we’ve played in years. Not only does it address, often mock, and then resolve the issues of the first game, but it also introduces new mechanics to improve the best parts of the original.

Sony has released a new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 trailer providing a look at its open-world gameplay and its expanded New York setting.

During the September 2023 State of Play aired a few hours ago, Sony and Insomniac Games showed off the expanded New York City available in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Insomniac Games have released two new trailers for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2—one introducing the game’s expanded Marvel’s New York, which now features both Brooklyn and Queens, and the other introducing its Digital Deluxe Edition content.

While I love Spider-Man just as much as the next guy, I felt underwhelmed by Marvel’s Spider-Man 1. However, after watching the latest PlayStation State of Play, I’m impressed and excited to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks to add a lot of Batman Arkham City features into the game and utilize the power of the PlayStation 5 which I think will improve it greatly. Here are the six things I think will make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 even better than Marvel’s Spider-Man 1.

PlayStation’s latest State of Play livestream promised to give viewers a look at the latest for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR 2 games, ranging from indies to “major upcoming titles” from PlayStation’s third-party partners. If you couldn’t watch September’s big State of Play showcase live, here’s a recap of all the game announcements, release dates, and other highlights from Sony’s event.

It’s almost time for Spider-Man 2, and it’s in that sentiment that Insomniac Games has revealed a brand new look at the game in today’s PlayStation State of Play. In this first look at how the sequel aims to evolve the open world concept, senior director Bryan Intihar showed off the game’s world, which has effectively doubled in size when you consider the inclusion of both Brooklyn and Queens. 

We got another glimpse into Marvel's Spider-Man 2 today, including insight on new suits, new tech, and new areas of the city. 

Insomniac popped up during the PlayStation State of Play stream to show off more of Spider-Man 2, and the open world gameplay in particular. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is out on 20th October 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5.

The year is moving so quickly, and somehow the October 2023 games are drawing near. We’ll finally be able to continue Spidey’s story in the Insomniac Marvel universe and play a traditional-style Assassin’s Creed game. Both Sonic and Mario return to the 2D platforming genre as well. Here’s what to expect from the October 2023 games lineup.

Three new Spider-Man 2 screenshots have been published, showing off several locations players will get to visit in the upcoming sequel.

One of the biggest reasons Insomniac Games crushed bringing Spider-Man to the PS4 for a new take on his life was how the game made you feel like being Spidey. An excellent example of this was the ability to go and swing around New York. While other gamers featuring the superhero could swing around a city, it never felt like you were truly in control and were just “going through the motions” to get you from one spot to the next. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will undoubtedly improve that feeling, even if something is missing in New York as you swing around it.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the most anticipated games releasing in the coming weeks, but the world may not be ready for what Insomniac has cooked up, according to the PlayStation Studios Director of Sound Design.

Between all the big games coming up, it’s easy to forget about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games. Following up on the acclaimed 2018 open-world title, the sequel features Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters. New York is also about twice as large, with Brooklyn, Queens and the new Coney Island available to visit.

Insomniac Games has explained what it means to expand Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s open world from the city skyscrapers of New York, to its boroughs in Queens and Brooklyn.

It’s safe to assume that Venom is going to be the star of the show in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but of course, he isn’t going to be the only antagonist that our two heroes will be locking horns with in the highly anticipated sequel. On top of the struggles in their own personal lives, as New York’s two Spider-Men, Peter and Miles will also be fighting against other famous Spider-Man villains in the form of Lizard and Kraven the Hunter. In fact, the latter is going to be the “catalyst” for the entire story.

Recently at San Diego Comic-Con, a dedicated Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 panel brought with it an explosive new trailer for the highly anticipated new title, in addition to several new gameplay and story details. Now, a cut version of the panel and some of its highlights has also been uploaded to YouTube, revealing some more new tidbits about the game.
