After initially circulating on Twitter last week (and being removed), the cinematic TV spot for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now officially available. It sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales battling Venom in Manhattan, unsure if they can protect their loved ones but still committing to fight. Check it out below, though be warned of spoilers for the first game.
Spider-Man 2 Will Include a Great Narrative & Payoff as well as More Tools in the Combat Sandbox
13.09.2023 - 12:27 / wccftech.com / Bryan Intihar / Miles Morales / Ryan Smith / Will Include
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.
Speaking to Inverse, Creative Director Bryan Intihar explained that the narrative has been a focus throughout the development phase.
One of our pillars for Spider-Man 2 was making sure there's a great narrative and payoff in anything we did. The more we can include a narrative that people can connect to, it takes away from the game feeling like a checklist.
At the same time, the combat sandbox is being expanded with new tools. Intihar added:
If you go back to the gameplay reveal that we did, the Miles section, when he's sneaking around the fish market, he creates a web line. Then he throws a new gadget out called the web grabber. It brings all the enemies together and smashes them together. And that sets him up to do a big lightning, ground-pound move that he does. That's that sandbox nature of taking all these toys and letting people try them out. We just want players to improvise with the experience, whether it's Ratchet & Clank, whether it’s Resistance, and now Spider-Man 2.
It's not just Miles getting fancy new abilities and gadgets. Peter will receive Venom's abilities at some point and those will also allow him to interact with the environment and the enemies in various ways, as outlined by Marvel's Spider-Man 2 game director Ryan Smith.
In combat, how Peter's able to leverage those symbiote abilities is really about the transformation. He isn’t just leading with a fist. He's got tentacles, and you can stick enemies to the wall, you can grab a group of enemies and launch them. It’s an opportunity for putting power out into the gameplay space a little bit differently than we would've done before, by interacting with more enemies.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is due on October 20 for PlayStation 5. It'll be the biggest title in the incredibly packed October schedule that also includes The Lamplighters League, Assassin's Creed Mirage, Forza Motorsport, Lords of the Fallen, Sonic Superstars, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Cities: Skylines II, The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria, Ghostrunner 2, Alan Wake II, and Total War: Pharaoh.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Actor Would Love Spider-Verse Miles To Appear In Universe
One of the biggest highlights from Insomniac Games’ dive into the realm of Spider-Man was that they made it clear rather early that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales were part of this universe. Ever since the latter’s introduction in Marvel Comics, he’s become a very popular character, so much so that he got a spinoff game on the PS5 and will be a co-main character in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 when it releases next month. But the voice actor behind Peter Parker feels that “another Miles” could enter their universe. One from a movie you might know.
