Spider-Man 2 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

The latest Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 update is now available to download, bringing several bug fixes and other requested improvements. Insomniac launched the latest chapter of its critically acclaimed open-world superhero series on the PlayStation 5 back in October, pitting Peter Parker and Miles Morales against classic villains like Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, and the long-teased Venom. Spider-Man 2 has been a smash hit so far, selling over five million copies worldwide and ranking as one of Insominac’s highest-rated releases.

Some Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans have started pointing out that Peter Parker is missing as an AI companion in combat when the player is controlling Miles Morales. Spider-Man 2 gives gamers two crime-fighting Spider-heroes for the price of one, with Peter returning from the first game and Miles now a fully-fledged web-slinger following his starring role in the 2020 spin-off Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

An Insomniac Games developer has shared an unused piece of animation from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 pertaining to the game's iconic antagonist, Venom. Despite not making it to the final version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, fans are quite impressed with how good the animation is.

Yet another update is readily available for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 players to download right now. Insomniac Games has released multiple updates for Spider-Man 2 since first launching the game last year. Spider-Man 2 earned rave reviews from fans and critics alike at the time of its release, but there's always room for improvement, and Insomniac has definitely improved the game with the various updates it's released so far.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.

Helldivers 2 sales are soaring and outselling Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in the United Kingdom, according to newly published sales data. Post-launch updates and strong community support appear to be key factors for the continued success of Helldivers 2, nearly two months after the game's launch for PlayStation 5 and PC.

Concept art of the Beetle, the villain speculated to be featured in Marvel's Spider-Man 2's DLC, was leaked and revealed the character's updated appearance. A release date for Marvel's Spider-Man 2's unconfirmed expansion has not been announced.

A talented fan of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has created variant concepts for most of the movie suits from the game. The movie suits are often some of the most popular suits in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and these concepts would add a huge amount of variety to the current lineup.

The Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 version of Venom is crawling into the comics in this year’s Venomverse Reborn event, just a few months after menacing gamers on the PlayStation 5. Even before Spider-Man 2 launched back in October, Venom’s presence in the Insomniac universe was strongly felt and hinted at. In the Marvel’s Spider-Man post-credits scene, it is revealed that Norman Osborn has been keeping his terminally ill son Harry suspended in a tank in his penthouse, with an all-too-familiar-looking black substance floating alongside him. Come Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Norman orders Harry to be released, despite the protests of Dr. Curtis Conners.

Fast traveling, one of the most impressive features of both the PlayStation 5 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2, was also a point of much discussion in development and almost cut as a result. While the PlayStation 5's processing speed allows for quicker gameplay, developers of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 worried that this might lead to less player engagement. The game's design director commented on this.

Funko’s newly announced line of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Pops includes Miles Morales’s infamous Evolved Suit from the end of the game. Just like Insomniac’s previous Marvel offerings, Spider-Man 2 gives fans a collection of alternate attires for its two web-slinging protagonists, many of which were pulled directly from the various Spider-Man comics, cartoons, and films. Others were created exclusively for the game, such as the “Evolved” costume that Miles dons during Spider-Man 2’s Symbiote-centric third act.

The developers of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 revealed that they struggled to get the Sandman boss fight right due to how fast Spider-Man is. During this year's Game Developers Conference (GDC), associate animation director for Insomniac Stephen Camardella revealed that it was incredibly hard to get the pacing of the fight against Sandman in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 just right. Camardella states that due to Spider-Man's speed, it was a challenge to make sure the fight was fair and fun.

Concept art for Insomniac’s canceled Spider-Man multiplayer game has just been leaked online, including a possible look at the title’s character creation screen. Insomniac infamously fell victim to a massive ransomware attack just a few months after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swung onto the PlayStation 5, exposing much of the developer’s plans for future Marvel video games. Among already confirmed titles like Marvel’s Wolverine and long-suspected projects centered around Venom and the X-Men was a game that Insomniac had reportedly already canceled long before the data breach: an online multiplayer title called Spider-Man: The Great Web.

Fans are rallying to save Insomniac’s canceled Spider-Man multiplayer game with a petition that is rapidly gaining signatures. Just a few months after Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launched to much critical and commercial success, Insomniac fell victim to a massive data breach that exposed the studio’s ideas for future Marvel video games. Included in this was Spider-Man: The Great Web, an online multiplayer title that would allow players to roam an open-world sandbox version of New York City and battle supervillains together.

A concept trailer for Insomniac’s canceled Spider-Manmultiplayer game has just leaked online, giving fans a glimpse into what the ambitious project could have been like. Insomniac’s series of open-world Spider-Man games have earned critical acclaim from fans of Marvel’s legendary web slinger, starting with the successful Marvel’s Spider-Man back in 2018. A spin-off was released in 2020 in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which saw the titular teenage hero come into his own as a crime-fighter. Both he and Peter Parker returned as playable characters in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 last year, facing off against deadly villains like Venom and Kraven the Hunter while struggling with their own personal demons.

Fans are quickly noticing a bizarre detail while playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s newly-added New Game Plus mode while wearing Peter’s alien Symbiote Suit — and it's already becoming a meme. Months after the game first came out, Insomniac has finally added the much-requested New Game Plus to Spider-Man 2 in its latest update, allowing fans to restart the main story campaign with all of the unlocks from their initial playthrough.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has gotten a new update, and among many improvements, the fan-favorite original Tobey Maguire costume received a small but significant and most-requested change. With over 60 years of history behind the character, hardcore Spider-Man fans are very particular about suits, and while the update may feel minor, it's a big deal for many hardcore fans.

Insomniac Games has released a brand-new update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but fans need to be careful after downloading it. After Spider-Man 2 launched last year, many fans were disappointed that the game was shipped without a proper New Game+ mode. Insomniac was quick to promise that the fan-favorite feature was on the way, and the latest update has finally added it to the open world superhero game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s long-awaited New Game Plus update has finally been released, adding new features and bonus content that fans have been requesting since the game launched last October. While Spider-Man 2 earned much critical acclaim and quickly became one of Insomniac’s highest-selling titles, players decried not being able to replay story missions without creating a whole new save file, which in turn left them without much to do after clearing Spider-Man 2’s various side-activities the first time.

A major title update for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is coming March 7 and will add the long awaited New Game+ mode to the game, new suits, photo mode updates, and more.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is finally adding its long-awaited New Game Plus mode soon, along with additional costumes and accessibility features. Insomniac finally released Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5 last October to much critical and commercial success, with the game quickly becoming one of the developer's highest-selling titles of all time. As both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, players are tasked with defending New York City from a multitude of classic comic book villains, including Kraven the Hunter and a reimagined version of Venom.

An eagle-eyed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player has noticed an eerie detail about one of the game's most popular suits: the Superior Spider-Man costume. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has a ton of hidden details, but this one will definitely have slipped by a lot of players.

One Marvel's Spider-Man 2 player accidentally came across a funny yet frustrating bug while web-swinging in the game. The game has been out for around three months now, and while many players have already completed it to 100%, many others have still been finding bugs and glitches that make for a hilarious Spider-Man 2 experience.

Spoilers ahead for Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

According to new leaks, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 originally had several symbiote bosses and even some plot points that were cut from the game before its release last year. The sequel to Insomniac Games’ hit superhero game launched to rave reviews and massive support from fans in October and players are still enjoying the title and discussing the franchise. Observers are already speculating about possible Peter Parker storylines for Spider-Man 3, and plenty of gamers are already waiting for DLC for the current entry.

An unofficial Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PC port derived from materials leaked in the recent Insomniac data breach is being scrapped. After two years of hype and eager anticipation, Spider-Man 2 finally launched on the PlayStation 5 to rave reviews in October. While it didn’t take home any honors at The Game Awards 2023, Spider-Man 2 was still well-regarded for updating the open-world gameplay formula of its predecessors and quickly became one of Insomniac’s highest-selling video games.

Insomniac Games has delayed new game plus update, noting that it will now be available sometime next year instead of at the end of the month.

Spider-Man 2 is arguably one of the best games of 2023. While enjoying a great release, one of the things that players noticed is that, while there were glitches present, compared to other major AAA titles, Spider-Man 2 is a very stable and optimized game. With that being said, here are all 1.001.004 patch notes for Spider-Man 2.

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

A new extended trailer for is out, previewing the struggles of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales ahead of the game’s launch on October 20, 2023.

Distinct progress and fast travel have also gotten a new lick of paint.

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Insomniac Games have released two new trailers for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2—one introducing the game’s expanded Marvel’s New York, which now features both Brooklyn and Queens, and the other introducing its Digital Deluxe Edition content.

With the game releasing just a bit over a month from now, Spider-Man 2 Digital Deluxe Edition comes with some aesthetic bangers. While the suit doesn’t make the spider, to be honest, no one would follow a web-swinging guy dressed up in shorts and a t-shirt stained with nacho cheese. Well, I’m projecting, let’s get back on track. Now that we can pre-order the game, there are also some extra benefits that our friendly neighborhood Spider-Men – there are two this time around – will be very happy to gift to us.

While I love Spider-Man just as much as the next guy, I felt underwhelmed by Marvel’s Spider-Man 1. However, after watching the latest PlayStation State of Play, I’m impressed and excited to experience Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 looks to add a lot of Batman Arkham City features into the game and utilize the power of the PlayStation 5 which I think will improve it greatly. Here are the six things I think will make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 even better than Marvel’s Spider-Man 1.

It’s almost time for Spider-Man 2, and it’s in that sentiment that Insomniac Games has revealed a brand new look at the game in today’s PlayStation State of Play. In this first look at how the sequel aims to evolve the open world concept, senior director Bryan Intihar showed off the game’s world, which has effectively doubled in size when you consider the inclusion of both Brooklyn and Queens. 

We got another glimpse into Marvel's Spider-Man 2 today, including insight on new suits, new tech, and new areas of the city. 

Following a stunning reveal of the various open-world elements in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Insomniac Games released another trailer highlighting the ten exclusive suits in the Digital Deluxe Edition. Peter and Miles each get five, with the developer partnering with various artists for the same. Check them out below.

Creative director Bryan Intihar shared all kinds of new Spider-Man 2 details during today's State of Play. While showing off new gameplay Intihar shared a big list of Spider-Man 2 details, which you can see below.

This State of Play is focused on indies and third-party titles, but that didn’t stop Insomniac Games from dropping some fresh new gameplay for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Check out the roughly four-minute-long trailer below.

Hey everyone – I’m Aaron Espinoza, the Advanced Senior Community Manager at Insomniac Games! Today, I’m delighted to drop new information about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, including a look at our expanded Marvel’s New York, the ways Insomniac is evolving city exploration and details about the 10 suits exclusive to the Digital Deluxe Edition!

PlayStation is going all out for the launch of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Understandable for a couple of reasons. Not only because it's the first big game coming out of one of its own studios for a while, but also because it has the somewhat daunting task of trying to share the spotlight with Super Mario Bros. Wonder which launches on the same day. We'll be getting a dry run of that today as Nintendo will host a Direct and PlayStation has a State of Play a few hours later.

Insomniac Games is working through its next major release, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Fans highly anticipate the video game, and we know that next month, we’ll finally get to websling our way through New York City again. However, we will get some new details regarding the game and its mechanics this week. The development studio had recently posted on their official X account that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was shown off to select members of the press and content creators.

A lucky few people were given the chance to preview Marvel's Spider-Man 2 recently and even take the game for a swing. Insomniac Games has been celebrating that with a little more than a month until the sequel is finally here. Reason to celebrate for everyone who plans on playing the game as it likely means we're about to learn a lot more about what to expect from it. In fact, Insomniac's James Stevenson has already got the ball rolling.

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 made an interesting claim about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2  in a new interview with Inverse. As they put it, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had sandbox elements.

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.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is less than a month and a half away from release, and though Insomniac and Sony have already shown off quite a bit of the game in recent months, with its launch not far away now, there’s plenty of appetite out there for more new details to be shared. And more new details will indeed be coming soon.

Insomniac Games’ senior creative director, Bryan Intihar, has admitted that he’s felt a bit “jealous” of the amazing recent games that other developers have been creating, but has affirmed that the industry being full of great releases is “not something to be fearful of”.

Some new have been revealed, giving fans a look at a few of the locales seen in the upcoming PlayStation 5 game. One such area will be missing something, however — the famous Chrysler Building.

Three new Spider-Man 2 screenshots have been published, showing off several locations players will get to visit in the upcoming sequel.

One of the biggest reasons Insomniac Games crushed bringing Spider-Man to the PS4 for a new take on his life was how the game made you feel like being Spidey. An excellent example of this was the ability to go and swing around New York. While other gamers featuring the superhero could swing around a city, it never felt like you were truly in control and were just “going through the motions” to get you from one spot to the next. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will undoubtedly improve that feeling, even if something is missing in New York as you swing around it.

A Marvel's Spider-Man 2 visual comparison has made the sequel feel worth the wait thanks to just how much better developer Insomniac has made New York look.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the next exclusive for PlayStation 5 and follows up on Insomniac’s massively successful open-world superhero. The studio has steadily rolled out new posters for each character and some new images for New York City. While new gameplay remains to be revealed, it seems the world isn’t quite prepared for what’s coming.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the most anticipated games releasing in the coming weeks, but the world may not be ready for what Insomniac has cooked up, according to the PlayStation Studios Director of Sound Design.

Sony’s engagement with enthusiasts is non-existent in the PS5 era, so of course we know very little about the imminent Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We have to accept what we can get, then: like these new images of Peter Parker and Miles Morales in their respective default suits. As you’d expect from developer Insomniac Games, both outfits look ludicrously detailed.

With Marvel's Spider-Man 2 set to hit PS5 in just over a month, it's time for Sony to start drumming up some hype — an act which evidently includes sending us the game's limited edition console bundle. It includes a shiny new PS5 complete with Spider-Man 2 covers, and that rather striking black and red DualSense controller. Oh, and a code for the game, of course!

We’re a little over a month away from the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PS5 now, and Insomniac Games is really starting to build the enthusiasm with a selection of character posters showing off some of the key character models from the game. Previously, the Burbank developer showed off Peter Parker and Miles Morales in their respective suits – and now it’s followed up with a couple of villain renders.

We’re less than two months away from the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on PlayStation 5, and we’ve been slowly learning more and more about Insomniac Games’ sequel. Now, the company has released several character posters highlighting Kraven, Lizard, Venom, our Spider-Men, and more, giving us our best look yet at a few of them. 

One of the things that made Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man title so good was that it fully embraced the mythos of the comics and other media and created something fresh through it. In this case, we didn’t start with Peter Parker just becoming Spider-Man; he had been it for eight years, and they kicked off the game by him finally taking down Kingpin. But he was merely the first of several villains to appear in the title, and that meant lots of boss fights to enjoy. With Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the way, many hope the boss encounters are just as enticing.

Spider-Man’s iconic Black Suit is something fans have been waiting to don in Insomniac’s universe for some time now, and with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker will indeed be wearing that Symbiote-infused suit. We’ve seen quite a bit of it in what’s been shown of the game already, and Insomniac has offered another look at the Symbiote Suit with a newly revealed poster for the game on Twitter.

Insomniac Games is sharing a new promo for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, that yeah, we were all anticipating.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is geared to swing onto PS5 in October, with a story that kicks off with Peter Parker using the corrupting power of the Venom Symbiote to take on the murderous villain Kraven the Hunter. And September 6's Amazing Spider-Man #33 feels like a perfect appetizer for the video game, with a brutally badass story of a savage Spider-Man turning Kraven the Hunter into Kraven the Hunted.

There are plenty of video games left in 2023 that will excite players and potentially keep the “Game of the Year” race wide open. One such title is Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which will arrive on October 20th. The game is the long-awaited sequel from Insomniac Games, and they’ve been working hard to deliver a memorable sequel to follow up the original title from PS4 and the spinoff with Miles Morales that helped ring in the PS5. Gamers are looking forward to many of the new gameplay elements and characters that will debut, including Kraven the Hunter’s arrival.

We’ve now entered the final third of the year, but even though 2023’s already been an incredibly packed year, there’s still quite a few major new releases to look forward to. In that group, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is perhaps among the biggest games that people have their eyes on, and as we continue to edge closer to its release, developer Insomniac Games, too, is continuing to ramp up the hype.

The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 covers revealed over the summer have quickly become one of the most sought-after video game items of 2023. Giving Spidey fans the ability to web up their consoles without buying a whole new PS5, PlayStation's stock of the covers sold out almost immediately. The same has been happening everywhere else the covers have popped up since, but Amazon's slightly different approach to selling highly sought-after items might give you your best chance of landing a cover yet.

The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 limited edition PS5 console is starting to be shipped out to content creators and those who secured a pre-order, and some wording on the packaging suggests the game will be taking up a big portion of your SSD. The retail box says a minimum of 98GB of free space is required to download and play Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Once the install has completed, it's possible the PS5 exclusive won't actually take up that much space, but it's still set to be a big download come 20th October 2023.

We’re getting ever closer to the arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and fans are almost trembling with anticipation. The original game was one of the best titles on the PS4 and helped continue the trend of great superhero titles, and by all indications, the sequel by Insomniac Games will be just as good. But someone needs to tell the people at Sony that how you advertise isn’t just important in the visual sense but in the word sense. Because yesterday, fans noticed that a tweet from PlayStation UK about the game’s collector’s edition had some wordplay they likely didn’t intend.

Pieces Interactive’s upcoming survival horror game, Alone in the Dark, has been delayed to January 2024 in order to avoid the title having to compete with October 2023’s stacked release schedule. 

2023 has once again been a great year for gamers as not only AAA studios but indie developers too have brought out some amazing games. While The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom is widely regarded as the best game of 2023 so far, other games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Diablo IV, Dead Space Remake, Baldur's Gate 3 and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty have made it a year to remember. However, 2023 isn't over and there are still some highly anticipated games releasing in the coming months.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's release date is still a little under two months away, but to get fans hyped up nice and early, PlayStation has been selling the special edition PS5 console, plates, and controller that were first announced about a month ago. These products recently shipped to everyone who has pre-ordered, and despite being a pretty snazzy looking machine in the announcement trailer, fans aren't best pleased about its overall design

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is still a little ways away, much to the agony of everyone chomping at the bit to get stuck into Peter and Miles' next big outing. There's still a little under two month to go before launch, but there is something that we can do now to prepare for the big day. It's time to start deleting all those big games you're never going to play, as the file size for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 seems to have been revealed thanks to the recent release of the game's limited edition consoles.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will seemingly need at least 98GB of storage space - double the number of the original game.

The latest generation of video games are only requiring more storage space. With more power comes bigger and better video game experiences. But this all comes at a cost with your storage drives. If you plan to pick up a few games this coming October, it’s well worth ensuring you have enough storage space on your drives. Today, we’re discovering the storage space requirement for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is going to require quite a bit of free storage space, according to new information that surfaced online today.

Between all the big games coming up, it’s easy to forget about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games. Following up on the acclaimed 2018 open-world title, the sequel features Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters. New York is also about twice as large, with Brooklyn, Queens and the new Coney Island available to visit.
