PSA: Spider-Man 2's Leaked Trophy List Has Story Spoilers

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.

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.

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

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.

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