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.
Minecraft x The Noble Collection: New Life-Size Collectibles to Debut at New York Comic-Con
04.10.2023 - 13:59 / ign.com / Harry Potter / New / Minecraft
The Noble Collection releases collectibles and jewelry based on some of the biggest franchises in the world, including The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Star Trek and DC. Now they're adding a massive gaming franchise to that lineup - Minecraft.
IGN can exclusively reveal a new collection dubbed Minecraft x The Noble Collection. This new line features a variety of life-size prop replicas and other collectibles inspired by the game and its distinctively blocky aesthetic. Head to the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at all of the debut pieces in this collection:
The Minecraft x The Noble Collection line consists of six items so far, five life-size prop replicas and one chess set featuring characters and creatures from the game. The life-size props feature light-up LED effects and are designed to mimic the textures of the game. The full lineup includes:
"We have extensive experience developing Collectibles and Toyllectibles based on characters, creatures and on-screen props that don’t truly exist in the real world," The Noble Collection's SVP Julian Montoya tells IGN.

It is important to us that our products do justice to those characters, creatures, props and iconic scenes."
Montoya continues, "The connection to fans and their passion for a franchise is what drives us, which makes our new foray into the Minecraft IP an exciting one for The Noble Collection. We want fans to enjoy the in-game experience by bringing their favorite events of the game into their life. And we hope we achieved that by mixing an array of textures and finishes to create the stylized 'real-world' materials they'd expect, while merging the pixelated Minecraft aesthetic they love."
As for the challenge of recreating the trademark blocky look of Minecraft in a real-world setting, Montoya says that The Noble Collection worked closely with the artists at Mojang to faithfully translate the game into three dimensional reality.
"The collaboration with the team at Mojang was phenomenal," Montoya says. "Once we dialed in on the creative vision for the range - 'Minecraft in the Real World' - we got to work. It was important that Minecraft fans looked at the product and thought 'Yes, this is what my Diamond Sword would look like if I could bring it out of the game!' Our design team and the Mojang creative team established a great rapport, consistently challenging ourselves to develop something new and never-before-seen for the brand. Mojang was also extremely generous in sharing their detailed knowledge of
