Miles Morales

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is finally here, and on the cusp of the PlayStation 5’s third birthday, assumes the throne as the console’s most technically impressive game to date.

Speaking to the BBC recently, creative director of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Bryan Intihar, details some of the character choices made within the Insomniac Games studio around the game's main characters, Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

PlayStation has taken over the Las Vegas Sphere, a day after Xbox used the venue to paint the Nevada skyline green.

Considering how successful Insomniac Games’ first two Spider-Man games (Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales) were, it wasn’t going to be difficult to convince fans to purchase the sequel, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, on release day. With the highly anticipated new title, the studio takes everything they’ve learned from their previous superhero games and pushes the envelope even further with a slew of exciting features that fans of the franchise have been eagerly waiting for. So, before we even get into the details, it’s safe to say Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is everything you hoped for and more. It’s a masterpiece and easily the best game the PS5 has to offer so far.

Now that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is finally out, fans can dive into the next open-world superhero game focusing on the Spider-Men - Peter Parker and Miles Morales. However, following the release of reviews earlier this week and with the game's full launch, there's been much discussion about the overall length of Spider-Man 2, which sits at about 15 to 20 hours. The main topic of debate online is whether 20 hours for a full open-world game is short or just right for a Spider-Man game.

The post-credits scene in features a mystery character who could have a big role to play in future games. The game has both a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene: one sets up a potential villain, and the other sets up a potential ally. Together, they put a nice button on 's story, which has Peter Parker and Miles Morales collaborating to save a symbiote-infected Harry Connors and stop Venom's attempted invasion of the Earth. While they're understandably cryptic, as these post-credits scenes typically are, they do give players a fair bit to work with when guessing what might come next.

When a big game like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 comes out, you can’t help but ask certain questions about what might come next. We won’t spoil anything in this article, but fans are already wondering about the third main game in the series. There are teases that it could happen, and the game is likely to sell well, so Insomniac Games could easily jump into making a third main title. However, they could also jump into doing another spinoff title. They already made one via the PS5 title starring Miles Morales, which was canon but much shorter than the main games.

Spider-Man 2 has only recently hit shelves but already Insomniac is thinking about the future. The first Spider-Man game received a spin-off, Miles Morales, so it’s natural to wonder whether the sequel will also feature a sequel, perhaps this time starring Venom. According to senior narrative director Jon Paquette, Insomniac is waiting to see how the fans react before they decide on the direction of a possible spinoff.

Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 senior narrative director Jon Paquette has commented on the possibility of a .

A recent interview with voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, who plays Peter Parker in , revealed that the first game in the series was almost missing a key death. The beloved superhero franchise just received its third entry this week, continuing the story of dual protagonists Peter and Miles Morales. The newest game is the most expansive yet, taking players all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens as they go head-to-head with villains like Kraven and Venom.

Over five years since the first game’s release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now available exclusively for PS5. It continues the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, who are both playable and deal with daily life while fighting crime as Spider-Man.

Many of you today will be playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and we don’t blame you one bit. The title from Insomniac Games seems to be everything that fans could want and more, and they worked hard to deliver a truly robust experience while tailoring it to feature representation across the board and giving options to those with special needs. In a special interview with the PlayStation Blog, Bryan Intihar talked about the early sections of the game and certain other elements. We won’t spoil anything, but one thing he did really appreciate in one particular mission is the inclusion of Hailey.

Spider-Man is one of comics’ most popular characters of all time. First appearing in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, the tale of Peter Parker was originally intended as a filler story for a canceled anthology series. But readers responded so strongly to the character created by writer Stan Lee and illustrator Steve Ditko that the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” eventually became one of the most beloved characters in Marvel Comics.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer, Insomniac Games is open to making a Venom spin-off. That's at least according to a senior dev, who strongly hints that the idea is being floated around with it all depends on the feedback the team gets from fans.

It’s time to Web-Swing. With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 out now worldwide, you may already have taken your first tour of Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens by web or Web Wings. Put Peter and Miles’s masked aerobatics to good use to quell crime and tackle new emerging threats, browsed the new suits and styles with relish, tinkered with a range of accessibility options. 

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Spidey is a firefighter, a city engineer, a one-man medical airlift, an open-source GMO chemist, and a protector of New York’s precarious bee community. But there’s one thing this Spider-Man is not: a cop.

is out now for PS5, and many people have already begun web-slinging their way through New York City once more. The game features playable characters like Peter Parker and Miles Morales, and includes many notable villains and side characters. However, one popular and important character — Gwen Stacy — may be on a lot of people's minds as they progress through the game's narrative.

The finale of is incredibly dramatic, befitting the narrative's high stakes and deeply personal character arcs. Insomniac Games' latest sees the two Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, working side-by-side to stop Kraven's Great Hunt from ravaging New York City. Although a daunting foe in his own right, Kraven isn't the only marquee villain in; the Venom symbiote emerges to spread the Spider-Men even thinner, threatening both the city as a whole, and those closest to the web-slinging heroes.

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.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now available to play on PlayStation 5.

A Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player has found out just how helpful swing assist is after switching it off and breaking Peter Parker's spine.

The ending of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 leaves us with a lot of questions — and there are two ending teasers to chew on. During (and after) the credits, you’ll get major teasers to see what happens next in the story. One is for Peter Parker and pushes forward the plot of the game, while the other teases a new character entirely. Beware, because we’re going to talk about all the plot points of Spider-Man 2 here. There are going to be massive story spoilers.

There’s a bonus boss fight in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 — and this is one extra side-quest you won’t want to miss. Peter Parker and Miles Morales encounter a new activity called Mysteriums a quarter of the way through the story. These challenge rooms task you with earning the best score and going for gold. They might seem like a fun diversion but finishing them is critical. You don’t even need to earn gold. A bronze score is good enough.

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.

While playing as Peter Parker or Miles Morales, there will be times when their abilities will be on cooldown, and they are being overwhelmed by a myriad of enemies.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has launched in several parts of the world, which means millions of fans are diving into the third instalment of Insomniac’s Spider-Man universe. That there will be more chapters in the future seems like a given, but there are still a few question marks over certain things. For instance, before we get a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 at some point in the future, will we first also get another standalone spinoff similar to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which launched between the first and second mainline instalments?

Much like its 2018 predecessor, Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 includes a host of costumes for both Peter Parker and his teenage counterpart Miles Morales — more than 60 confirmed so far, each with its own special abilities.

Spider-Man 2 is one of this year's biggest games, and PlayStation is going all out to plaster the faces of Peter Parker and Miles Morales on every bus, bench, and billboard it can find. It's a company that's never been shy of promoting its titles in both standard and ridiculous ways, although a new cereal box stunt is an example of PlayStation starting to take the biscuit.

We’re hours away from the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and with excitement surrounding the superhero sequel hitting a fever pitch, Insomniac Games and Sony have released a new video to help you prepare for its release, recapping the events of the previous two Spider-Man games developed by Insomniac.

The long-anticipated finally arrives this week, pitting dual protagonists Peter Parker and Miles Morales against a rich roster of new villains like Venom and Kraven. The Insomniac title has greatly expanded upon the world seen in the original and, letting players swing all over Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. Actors like 's Yuri Lowenthal and Nadji Jeter of reprise their roles of Parker and Morales alongside new cast members like 's Tony Todd as Venom.

If you put books, games, or DVD boxes inside your video game, I will inspect every last one of them. This and video game bathrooms are my particular peccadillo and I would appreciate it if you don’t judge me.

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.

It even comes with three interchangeable and highly detailed tongues, which is three tongues too many.

The infamously blocky boat people from the first Spider-Man have sadly been updated to look like regular boat-faring citizens of New York in Spider-Man 2.

Web wings? A bazillion suits? TwoSpider-Mans? In this economy? Yes, Spider-Man 2 is markedly different than its predecessors, 2018’s Spider-Man and 2020’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. There are new abilities, new mechanics, and nearly twice as much New York to explore than before.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will follow a "darker story" than we're used to and won't feature "the sweet Peter Parker that we love," according to its director. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is nearly here. Fans are eager to dive into this game, and we will soon see its release this Friday. However, if you’re watching everything released regarding the game, you might have noticed some online debates regarding fast travel. Now, the PlayStation 5 is a powerhouse of a console, so we’re still seeing some impressive features get highlighted simply due to the power of the PS5. One of the features that developers have continued to credit is the SSD. It’s allowed the game to load incredibly quickly, and that might have some wondering if there’s any trickery happening behind the scenes. 

takes many cues from its predecessors, but hopefully, it'll set out to correct the flaws of the original DLC. is a follow-up to both the 2018 game that originated this series and its 2020 spin-off. 's story will see both incarnations of the web-slinging hero — Miles Morales and Peter Parker — working together in the series' first true next-gen release.

More than two years after its initial reveal trailer, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is almost here. Due out October 20 exclusively on PlayStation 5, developer Insomniac Games' sequel to 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man and 2020's Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a game we thoroughly enjoyed – read Game Informer's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review here – and we're excited for others to play it. Insomniac is too, but in a new statement, it tells players that while the game will be playable on physical discs in full, it recommends downloading the day one patch. 

This week’s guest on our One More Life gaming podcast is superhero superfan Will Preston, former comedian and current co-host of the Marvel Versus Marvel podcast.

One could argue that no one is excited about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 more than Insomniac Games. That might seem odd at first because they are the ones who developed the game and thus have had the most time with it. But think about this from their perspective. They made the first game on PS4, and it was so good that it was a Game of the Year contender. Then they made the spinoff with Miles Morales, that was loved, too. Now, they’re one of the biggest potential games on the PS5, and they’ve spent years trying to ensure they live up to the hype built around it.

With each console generation that comes out, the big question that players ask is, “How much are we actually getting improvements from one generation to the next?” That’s a fair question to ask, as each new console is hyped up to infinity to try and get people to buy it. To be fair, with Sony consoles, the graphics and processing power improvements have always been in large leaps, not small steps. That’s how they’ve made certain astounding titles that look and play great. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the one that might just show you how incredible the PS5 is as a hardware device.

The fast travel in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is incredible, but some fans would still rather swing around New York City as Peter Parker or Miles Morales. 

It sounds like Spider-Man 2 is pretty damn good, going by reviews that have appeared today ahead of the web-slinging sequel’s release on PlayStation 5 this Friday. While there’s no official word on a Spider-Man 2 PC version just yet, the appearance of previous PS5 exclusives over the last couple of years hopefully means it’s just a matter of time. The sooner, the better, based on what we’ve heard so far.

Spider-Man 2 is one of Insomniac’s highest rated games to date, based on early reviews.

Insomniac Games has been on my radar for a long, long time. From their mascot platformer days, you could consider me a fan, and when they started to shift into more serious narratives with Resistance, I was along for the ride. But it wasn’t until Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2018 that I perked up and realized what they could do. With the standalone Miles Morales game and now the full Spider-Man sequel, they’re really proving that they’re one of the biggest forces in game development right now.

What makes a good Spider-Man story? Aside from capturing the mythology of the quippy, affable, web-swinging hero, it also must present great adversity for him, and not just when he's wearing the mask. It cannot be a Spider-Man story without Peter Parker. Unlike other superheroes who can wear a cowl and leave their identity behind, the two are inseparable. Spider-Man swings into a fight, but it's Peter who takes the punch. It must also ground Spider-Man in the fragility of human experience. The wall-crawler is strong, but he must learn that we all break. A great Spider-Man story must also deal with personal tragedy. No matter how many times Spider-Man wins the day, it's his loss that defines him. Marvel's Spider-Man, Insomniac Games' first attempt at telling such a story, succeeded on most, if not all, of these parameters. Aside from being incredibly fun to play — with polished web-swinging, an incredibly detailed New York City to explore, and butter-smooth, flowing combat — the first game understood the essence of a Spider-Man story, serving one of the best narratives for the hero perhaps seen across all forms of media.

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.

PlayStation 5 owners have a brand new exclusive coming their way in a few short days. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 might already be on your radar; if that’s the case, you might be keen to see reviews. Fortunately, reviews have been permitted to be uploaded ahead of time, and today, we’re looking at some of the reviews showing up. Currently, the game has quite a bit of a warm reception from media outlets that were given a chance to check it out before its launch. Looking at Metacritic, you can see the game currently sits at a score of 91.

Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games is one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

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.

The first Spider-Man game from Insomniac was proof of just how fun it could be to play as the web-slinger. It nailed the feeling of momentum and grace inherent in the character and fused it with a solid — if at times formulaic — open-world action game. Two years later, the studio kept things going with a smaller, tighter spinoff focused on Miles Morales. Now comes the inevitable full sequel, which not only has a two in the name but also two spider-men to play as.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has received a launch trailer ahead of its release on October 20, and those wanting to head into the new web-slinging adventure with as few spoilers as possible will want to exercise caution when deciding whether to watch it or not.

The month of October is full of some incredible video game releases. However, for the PlayStation 5, in particular, there is a significant exclusive heading our way. Whether you played the previous games or not, chances are if you’re a PlayStation 5 owner, you might be picking up Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 this month.

Insomniac Games is just as pumped as they want gamers to enjoy their newest title and experience what it’s like to be Peter Parker and Miles Morales once again. But they also know that fans are eager to see some more of the suits that you can put on the two Spider-Men throughout the game, so they decided to have a little fun and reveal some of the outfits via a new tweet. Remember, there will be over sixty of these suits in the title, so you’ll have plenty of variety.

Spider-Man (2018), from Insomniac Games, was a game-changer for everyone's favourite web-slinging hero. It's spin-off, Miles Morales, also pleased both critics and fans with its gripping story and smooth gameplay.

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.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 — out next Friday on PS5 — is easily one of our most anticipated titles of the year, building upon Insomniac Games' original blockbuster tale to weave a new line for our spandex-wearing web crawlers. Yep, true to the name, this time we get to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they team up to neutralise various new threats to New York City, which include the monstrous symbiote Venom and the beast-like Kraven the Hunter. In addition to refining web-swinging and chained flowy combat — a selling point for 2018's Spider-Man — the sequel has nearly doubled the size of its open-world playground, albeit in ways that traversal never feels tedious.
