Everything We Know About Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Story Plot
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will see Peter Parker and Miles Morales teaming up once again to protect New York City. Picking up almost a year after the events of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the two Spider-Men will have to face off against a dangerous new villain, Kraven the Hunter, who is on a relentless quest to hunt down the city's super-powered individual.
As Peter struggles to balance his personal life and duties as a mentor, Miles is coming into his own as a hero. Together, they tackle old foes like Sandman and the Lizard while a much darker threat looms in the form of Venom, who brings chaos and devastating consequences for the heroes.
As seen in trailers, the game will highlight Peter's connection to the symbiote suit, which enhances his abilities but also threatens to overwhelm him with darker impulses. Meanwhile, Miles takes on greater responsibilities, navigating his own struggles while facing a rising tide of villains.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Setting
New York City
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 expands on the open-world New York City from the previous games, adding new boroughs like Queens and Brooklyn. These areas offer more varied environments, from bustling neighborhoods to quieter residential spaces, all interconnected by the East River. Spontaneous events also keep the city on edge, as Peter and Miles frequently find themselves rescuing civilians and fighting off criminals.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Characters
Peter Parker
Peter Parker steps up as a seasoned superhero, balancing his role as a mentor to Miles while dealing with his own personal struggles. Peter is at a crossroads in life. He grapples with new responsibilities, villains like Kraven the Hunter and Venom, and the emotional challenges that come with being both a protector and a friend.
Miles Morales
Miles Morales returns in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 with a fresh suit and a growing sense of responsibility. Having proven himself as a capable hero in his own right, Miles must now grapple with his father's killer and face a more sinister threat that could endanger the entire city.
Mary Jane Watson
Mary Jane continues to uncover the truth behind New York's most dangerous threats. This time, however, she's far from being just a civilian in distress—MJ plays an active role in the story, equipped with new tools, like a taser, to fend off enemies during stealth missions.
Kraven the Hunter
Kraven the Hunter arrives in New York with a deadly goal: to seek out and defeat the ultimate prey. Tired of hunting wild beasts, he now turns his sights on super-powered individuals like Spider-Man, eager for a more dangerous challenge. He leads an army of mercenaries known as the Hunters, whose sole purpose is to track down and eliminate anyone with extraordinary abilities.
Venom | Harry Osborn
Venom is one of the many villains Spider-Man will have to face off in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Starting with a bond to Harry Osborn, the symbiote first seemed like a potential savior before evolving into a deadly threat that Peter and Miles must confront.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Gameplay
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will allow you to swing through the busy streets of New York City as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. With both Spider-Men at your fingertips, you can seamlessly swap between them during free-roam, each with unique missions and skills that make their playstyle distinct. Similar to the first game, there will also be segments in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 where players must control Mary Jane and other characters, whose identities are best discovered during your first playthrough.
Combat in Spider-Man 2 builds on its predecessors with enhanced mechanics that will keep you on your toes. You'll have to build combos, dodge attacks, and use your arsenal of gadgets as Peter Parker or Venom attacks as Miles Morales to control the battle. Let's not forget Peter's bond with the Venom symbiote, which gives him the ability to fend off enemies with dark tendrils and new web-based abilities.
The real magic, however, happens when you take to the skies. With their new Web Wings, Peter and Miles can glide gracefully through the city and use wind tunnels to gain speed and cover incredible distances.
The game also has RPG mechanics. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock an array of new abilities through individual Skill Trees. Each Spider-Man gains unique powers as they earn Skill Points.
