Peter Parker

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.

With the power of the PlayStation 5’s screaming fast SSD, you might not even want to fast travel around New York and Brooklyn in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. With the dual protagonist system, players can freely jump between Peter and Miles at a moment's notice and the other masked superhero is just a phone swipe away.

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.

Yuri Lowenthal, the actor behind Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, had an unexpected pick for his favorite spidey-centric villain. 

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

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.

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.

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.

Although the game has only recently come out, Spider-Man 2's ending already feels like one that fans will remember for a long time.

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. 

Insomniac Games has suggested fans will play a significant role in helping the studio decide where to take its Spider-Man series.

The day one patch. It's now become part and parcel of a video game launch day – and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is no different, with the first update already rolling out to consoles worldwide.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has officially released, but even with a whole new story to play through, some fans can't help but wonder; when's the next game out? 

Skill Points are used to buy powerful abilities for both heroes in and can be earned fast when completing missions found throughout the game. Miles Morales and Peter Parker's skill trees require Skill Points to level up. However, finding which content in the massive open world should be pursued to gain these points quickly can be tricky.

Revisit a lost friend and run the diamond in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Learn how to unlock two more Easter egg trophies in New York City. It’s an even bigger map this time around, but if you check out important areas from previous games, you can find something secret and special. Visiting a specific cathedral leads to a lost memorial from a previous game. Another is just a fun little Easter egg with Peter Parker. We won’t get into all the details here — scroll down to learn how to unluck each trophy. We’ve got screenshots and map locations to make inching your way to that Platinum easier.

Using the right skills early in can make a massive impact on how you control each Spider-Man while traversing and give you an additional edge during boss battles. Skills Points are unlocked by completing side activities, main story quests, side missions, and other requests in the FNSM app. Some of these missions can take a little while to complete, while others can be done in a matter of minutes. Regardless of the length, these side missions give impressive rewards that can used towards making a stronger Spider-Man.

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.

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.

When combating multiple enemies in , players will need to use gadgets that will give them an advantage, and upgrading them can make all the difference. 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. Thankfully, using some gadgets can help get them out of sticky situations. Some of these gadgets are great for crowd control, which can be combined with other main Skills to take down tougher foes.

Completing all nine EMF Experiments in Spider-Man 2 is a bit trickier than most other side missions in the game.

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.

Don’t settle for just one look for your Spider-Men. In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 you’ll earn dozens of new costumes for Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Whether by completing side-quests, leveling up, or completing your collectible hunts, you’ll earn lots of looks from the multimedia world of Spider-Man.

There’s a huge selection and some truly weird outfits here, so if you want to learn what’s available and when you’ll be able to unlock, check out the full list of costumes below.

Spider-Man 2 throws Peter Parker into a new story with high-school buddy Harry Osborn. Early in the game, Harry returns and forms the Emily-May Foundation — a high-tech non-profit organization. The massive building is also where you’ll be introduced to EMF Experiments, a type of side-quest where Spider-Man will be testing different inventions and discoveries for the betterment of the world. There are 9 EMF Experiments to find and some of them involve tricky puzzles. Here’s a full rundown of all the EMF Experiment locations and how to complete each one.

Peter Parker and Miles Morales each get five new costumes by spending an extra $10 for the PS5 game.

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.

The current volume of Amazing Spider-Man started with the question "What did Spider-Man do?", implying a dark deed in Peter Parker's past. But now, almost 36 issues into the run, that question has a new answer, as Peter was recently overcome with the oppressive evil of Norman Osborn's dormant Green Goblin personality, thanks to some strange magic from Kraven the Hunter and Queen Goblin.

Photography is a big part of the Spider-Man franchise, due to Peter Parker performing the same for The Daily Bugle. It makes sense that the Photo Mode in Insomniac’s series should be robust. In a new PlayStation Blog, the developer has outlined all the features in Photo Mode for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The PS5 exclusive will also receive mission replay functionality in a future patch.

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

Come on, it’s hard not to be excited about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Even if you’re gaming on the Xbox Series X/S console, you might be bummed not to enjoy this game. Xbox players might feel a bit of the dread PlayStation users felt when Starfield was released. However, if you have a PlayStation 5, the release of the next major exclusive, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, comes tomorrow. The game has gained a lot of attention over the years as we waited for Insomniac Games to bring the new title into the marketplace.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's audio director used interesting techniques to get the sound of a bustling New York City in the Spidey sequel.

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.

There’s a celebrated scene in Naughty Dog’s 2009 game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves in which the protagonist, Nathan Drake, just wanders around a village. He’s high up in the Himalayas; after a dramatic action sequence on a train, Drake fell unconscious and was rescued by a Tibetan Sherpa, who brought him to his home. Drake strolls around the village, exploring it, chatting with the locals even though they don’t understand his English. He pats a yak, kicks a football with some kids, disturbs the chickens, looks at the (stunning) view.

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. 

If you've been keeping an eye on the development of Spider-Man 2 over the course of the past year, you'll know that Peter Parker can randomly find Miles Morales whilst swinging through New York, and vice versa. Playing as either Spider-Man, you'll be able to help the other one out if you find them wailing on some bad guys, and you'll be treated with a unique bit of dialogue or interaction between the two Spider-Men for your effort.

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.

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. 

While many of us are preparing for the release of Spider-Man 2 on 20th October, there still may be a few of you yet to play the original — or its spin-off.

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.

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.

“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.

2018 feels like a long time ago now, but it's a year fondly remembered among superhero-loving gaming fans.

Insomniac Games's Spider-Man 2 is almost here (releasing on 20th October), and we can't wait to carry on with the epic storyline of Peter, Miles and company.

One of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's actors thinks their series' villains are second only to Batman's.

The sequel to 2018's Spider-Man (following 2020's spin-off Miles Morales) will release on 20th October, and we're counting down the days.

Insomniac Games released the launch trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 recently, showcasing new and returning villains and the effect of the Symbiote on Peter Parker. Though the available gameplay showcased some harrowing things with his psyche, hearing him lash out at his friends has only reinforced that he’s not okay.

The launch trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games is here, mere days from launch. It sees Miles Morales enlisting Peter Parker’s help to take on various villains, some familiar and others new. Check it out below, though beware of potential spoilers.

With the imminent release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Sony has released the launch trailer, and it highlights the rise of a darker Peter. 

Counting down the seconds until Insomniac's hotly-anticipated Spider-Man sequel, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, arrives? Well, here's an action-packed minute of Spidey-flavoured footage to help tide you over.

Ahead of its release next week, Insomniac Games has released the Spider-Man 2 launch trailer for the upcoming Marvel game.

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. Fortunately, if you’re already in the group who preordered a copy of the game digitally, you’re in luck. Today, you can go ahead and begin your preload for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. This way, you’re already set for when the game officially launches into the marketplace. 

We’re officially a week away from the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and fans are pumped. 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.

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.

Spider-Man 2 will be chock full of new and interesting suits for both Peter Parker and Miles Morales to wear while they swing around New York, but the full range of suits on offer is still unknown. Thankfully, developer Insomniac Games has given us a first look at two new suits that will be included in the game when it launches, those being the Brooklyn 2099 suit and the brand-new Kumo suit.

One of the main reasons that people are looking forward to the arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is that they want to see what characters make their debut in the game. We know about Venom and Kraven and the return of Mr. Negative, but fans want more. Insomniac Games has been unusually tight-lipped on that front, as the only other real “major villain” they’ve shown off is The Lizard, aka Curt Connors. In the comics, he was a scientist that Peter Parker looked up to, but his experiments involving reptiles led to him becoming a monster that Peter would have to fight many times over.

Insomniac Games has already boasted about the wide collection of suits available in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. But launch is just the beginning for Peter and Miles’ fashion tour, as several post-launch cosmetics are coming from an unlikely source.

If you’ve ever wondered just how much fans eagerly await Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we have an answer for you. Because as you all know by now, we’re just over a week away from the game’s launch. However, fans on Reddit have decided that this is too long to wait for something to come out. So what did they do? Well, they were able to capture the first hour of the game somehow, and they put it online. And then they were copyright-struck, so they reuploaded it somewhere else! And…then they were struck down again. It’s a very vicious cycle, but you can applaud their effort, at least!

According to a government copyright listing for, Marvel Studios has already enlisted the voice cast for its forthcoming animated series, which will explore an alternate timeline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where Norman Osborn becomes Peter Parker’s mentor instead of Tony Stark.

Despite glaring suggestions and hints, people are still debating the identity behind the symbiote suit in Insomniac’s upcoming Spider-Man 2.

Several elements of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 have leaked online ahead of the sequel's release next week, including boss fights and suits. 

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans are loving new looks at both the Moon and Shadow Spidey suits, but it's the former that has some interesting history.
