When Insomniac created a version of the Marvel universe for their title with Spider-Man, many wondered just how “intertwined” the video game would be with the Marvel-616 comics universe. As we would find out in Marvel’s Spider-Man…it wasn’t that intertwined at all. For example, instead of showing the origins of Peter Parker, they skipped eight years into his career, where he had already faced many villains and put several away, including Kingpin, at the start of the game. Norman Osborne was the mayor of New York City and NOT the Green Goblin, and Peter was working side-by-side with his mentor, Dr. Otto Octavius.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Shows Off Its 2x Bigger NYC in New Trailer

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.
According to the developers, the playable area is nearly twice as big as in the previous games, thanks to the additions of Queens and Brooklyn. Senior Creative Director Bryan Intihar said:
The first thing you’ll notice is that our city has nearly doubled in size with the addition of
two iconic New York boroughs, Queens and Brooklyn. And we’ve introduced the web-wings, an entirely new mechanic that, when combined with web-swinging, allows you to traverse the city in a whole new way and at faster speeds than ever before.
Whether it’s the neighborhood backdrop of Queens or the fireworks that light up the sky over Coney Island, exploring these areas will feel much different than the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan, while also delivering memorable locales like Peter Parker’s old stomping grounds in Midtown High and Miles Morales’ current place of learning, Brooklyn Visions Academy.
When roaming the open world of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, players will have the chance to switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales seamlessly. Each 'Spider-Hero' has separate stories and activities, though some can be tackled as either Peter or Miles.
Completing the various activities and side content not only provides rewards but also builds upon the district progress system, which ties into the game's new fast-travel system.
Of course, the rewards include the ability to unlock various skills and gadgets to be used in combat but also feed into the hero customization layer. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features 65 suits inspired by comics and films, and players may also unlock alternate color shaders for some suits.
As previously announced, the Digital Deluxe Edition will provide 10 extra suits, which have now been detailed:
Insomniac has recently claimed that narrative and payoff have been a focus when designing the game, though the combat toolbox has expanded, too. We'll be able to check out everything for ourselves in a little over a month, given that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to launch on October 20 for PlayStation 5.
With Sony's current port policy, it's fair to imagine the game will land on PC in around two years, perhaps a bit less.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 To Have “Random Hero Encounters”?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest games left in 2023 that fans are dying to get their hands on. The title has been getting lots of information and trailers lately, and Insomniac Games isn’t afraid to “spill some tea” on what you might be able to see and do as you swing around the city. As gamers found out earlier this year, when you’re in the open-world setting of New York, you’ll have the option to swap between Peter Parker and Miles Morales. That’s important because not only is this game about both characters but there are tasks and missions specifically assigned to them.
