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.

On the other hand, it’s a game that harps on the fact that Nintendo hasn’t been listening to their fanbase regarding this franchise. It’s a “half measure,” if you will, and doesn’t really serve the franchise as much as The Big N likely thought it did. However, they are giving it updates to expand what it can do, and some people are grateful for that.
