Insomniac has revealed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be about the same length to play as the first Marvel’s Spider-Man.

The Division Heartland, the now-canceled free-to-play take on the looter shooter series, was originally set to be a battle royale mode.

The Clash game mode is just one of the new features to come to Overwatch 2 with Season 10, though the arrival of the Hanaoka map for this mode coincides with the temporary removal of the classic map Hanamura due to an issue that wrecked the level's geometry and made it completely unplayable. Although Hanamura doesn't appear in regular Quick Play or Competitive playlists, along with all other Overwatch 2 maps that are part of the old Assault game mode, these levels have nonetheless existed in the game since launch and are accessible via either the Arcade game mode or through custom games.

Insomniac Games has released a public statement in response to layoffs at the studio announced this week by parent company Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Peter Parker in Insomniac‘s Spider-Man games, thinks the character will return in a future series instalment.

The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences (AIAS) has announced the winners of the 27th annual DICE Awards.

The greatest challenge for any discipline in game development is the ultimate demon: math. More specifically, exponential math. As the upper boundaries of game development have become more polished and detailed, the effort needed to meet higher bars of quality requires more assets, more content, and more resources—all variables that grow exponentially larger when designers try to support features built around player choice.

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.

To accompany our hands on session with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, we were handed the chance to pose some questions to senior game director Ryan Smith at the London event. Below, we get into how the PS5 hardware has accelerated load times in the sequel, how the open world has evolved, and answer one very important question: has Peter Parker lost any more of his backpacks to collectibles in the years since Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4?

You've read our Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Preview and our Interview with senior game director Ryan Smith, so now it is time to admire the open world game's latest set of screenshots all in one place. Below you can view all the new PS5 screenshots Sony has published as part of this latest marketing beat, featuring images of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as well as combat captures and the villain Lizard. Which one's your favourite? Let us know in the comments below.

Insomniac Games has revealed the time it should take to complete . The highly anticipated sequel seems to have much more for players to enjoy, from a New York map that's almost doubled in size with the inclusion of Queens and Brooklyn to the ability to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, swapping between them instantly across the open world and optimizing a variety of gadgets and special abilities across both heroes.

Thanks to an interview with Marvel's Spider-Man 2's senior game director Ryan Smith, we now have a much better idea as to how long the upcoming PS5 action title will be. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is improving and expanding upon its predecessors in a number of areas, from combat to traversal and much more, and as you’d expect from an open world sequel, it is, of course, set to be a much larger experience as well. But though its New York is going to be roughly twice as large as the map of its two predecessors, that’s not going to result in a significantly longer experience.

This past week has been a good one for Spidey fans. With just over a month until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings onto the PS5 console, we’re getting a clearer idea of what we can expect come October 20. Insomniac Games has given us a closer look at the Super Hero and Super Villains cast with new character posters. Little under 24 hours ago we enjoyed a tour of the expanded Marvel’s New York (and a look at new suits) at State of Play. And today, you can get a deeper dive into the game’s combat, activities, story and more thanks to an extensive hands-on we had with a preview build of the game, bolstered by further insight from key staff who worked on the project – Senior Creative Director Bryan Intihar, Senior Game Director Ryan Smith, and Senior Narrative Director Jon Paquette.

Insomniac Games returns to its most successful game to date with Marvel's Spider-Man 2. The hugely anticipated sequel will feature the two playable protagonists, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, taking on threats like Venom and Kraven the Hunter.

Insomniac revealed in a new interview with Inverse how they wanted all their players to feel the superhero fantasy of being Spider-Man in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Legions of gamers have noted that Overwatch 2 has been anything but a “graceful transition” from what came before. Blizzard decided to do numerous things with the sequel that differed from the original groundbreaking title, and pretty much all of it blew up in its face. Not only did they receive negative backlash since launch, but the game has seen fewer players and playtime over the following months. It didn’t help that the new PVE content would be behind a paywall despite the game turning free-to-play. However, with the new “Invasion” content, Blizzard hopes to turn things around in many ways.

Sony has released the highlights of last week’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 San Diego Comic-Con panel.

The new Web Wings system also works alongside web-swinging to help you explore New York City faster than ever.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is promising improvements on its already-excellent predecessors in a number of key areas, and in the gameplay department those improvements are apparently going to be present in everything from the combat to the open world. Recently, after unveiling a new story-focused trailer for the upcoming sequel at San Diego Comic-Con, alongside revealing new story details, Insomniac also offered some more brief tidbits on how Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is powering up in those two areas.
