October is nearly upon us, meaning Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is less than three weeks away from release. As Insomniac Games drops several new details, from the many accessibility features (including the new Challenge Level Modifiers) to a partial Trophy list, it also has some new suit reveals scheduled for October 12th.
The reveal is part of Marvel’s booth at New York Comic Con 2023 and will take place from 4:30 PM to 4:45 PM EST. Which suits will be revealed remains unknown, but given the sheer amount of customization, with over 200 ways to customize the Spider-Men, they should be interesting. The question now is whether they can top the zaniness of the Digital Deluxe Edition suits.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches on October 20th for PS5, having gone gold last week. Head here for more details on the title. Insomniac has warned players of spoilers potentially appearing online before release, so be careful.

Spider-Man 2 will receive a New Game+ mode as part of a post-launch update, later this year. As per Insomniac Games Community Director James Stevenson, just like the 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, those looking to replay the title and mop up all the side quests might have to wait a bit, though for now, simply beating it once grants access to an ‘Ultimate' difficulty setting for a fresh playthrough. For the uninitiated, a New Game + mode generally allows players to plunge back into a game's campaign in an overpowered state, as the in-game character carries over all unlocked abilities, tools and weapons, and gear upgrades.
Spider-Man 2 is packed with classic villains from the web-slinger’s deep roster of bad guys. If you’re eager to dig in and see all the villain bosses you’ll encounter with Peter Parker and Miles Morales, check them out in the full gallery below. Whether these villains appear as bosses or they’re teased for future encounters, we’ll list them and offer a (brief) explanation for those of you that don’t know who the heck these bad guys even are. There are a lot of fan-favorites appearing in Spider-Man 2, and even a few left-field inclusions we didn’t see coming. Here’s a quick look at Spider-Man’s massive rogues gallery.
Spider-Man 2 is just one more sleep away and will undoubtedly have you beating up all kinds of baddies with Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Unless you have godlike reflexes, some of those baddies will get the odd punch in here and there as well though. In the first two Spider-Man games, Peter and Miles would just shrug off the attack and keep on fighting, but it was recently confirmed by PlayStation that Spider-Man 2 will feature suit damage this time around if you get wailed on enough.
The PS5 exclusive will also receive mission replay functionality in a future patch.
One of the things that made the Insomniac Games titles with Peter Parker and Miles Morales so special was that they decided to not only embrace “their version” of the mythos and tell familiar yet new stories, but they embraced the past of the franchise in a way that everyone could love. For example, they had multiple villains from the comics show up to take on the Spider-Men and focused on the relationships between them for one reason or another. But the thing that many fans have been happy about is the number of spider suits that they can wear that references the other elements of the franchise, which Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will continue.
Yes, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes halted production on a lot of TV and movies this year. But the last few months of 2023 will still be packed with major releases, many of which got initial screenings at this year’s New York Film Festival. Polygon crammed in as many of these new releases as we could during the festival, and we’re here with a preview of upcoming movies worth noting — the standouts, good and bad, from the next few months of major movie releases.
In a significant move to address child sexual exploitation online, the Australian eSafety Commissioner has levied a fine against X, a prominent microblogging platform backed by Elon Musk. X has been ordered to pay a fine of $610,500 AUD (about $384,000 USD) due to its failure to provide critical information regarding the detection, removal, and prevention of child sexual abuse material. In addition to this, Google has also received a formal warning from the authorities for similar non-disclosure.
New York City is home to both Spider-Man and one of the more significant comic book events in the world, New York Comic-Con, which is on right now in the Big Apple. With the eagerly anticipated Marvel's Spider-Man 2 out this time next week (on 20th October), it was practically inevitable we'd see something from Insomniac at the show.
The wait for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is slowly drawing to a close, with the open-world superhero title launching next week. Fortunately, it’s available to pre-load on PS5, so you can download it now and start playing as soon as it releases.
