Insomniac Games creative director Bryan Intihar in an interview with Famitsu revealed Marvel's Spider-Man 2's map size is about twice the size of the previous games.
"We've added Queens and Brooklyn this time, so roughly speaking the map size is about two times larger than the previous titles," said Intihar (via a translation by Gematsu).
"Since these two areas are somewhat smaller and residential, I think you'll find them different from Manhattan. We’ve prepared some unexpected situations we haven't done before, like a battle on the river between two of the cities, so I hope you'll look forward to them."
Game director Ryan Smith added players will be able to freely switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales when exploring the open-world. However, there are some situations during the story missions where you have to control a specific character.
"There are things that are exclusive to a specific character depending on the content, but we’re also preparing content that allows you to play as whichever character you like," said Smith. "While they’re both Spider-Man and have some things in common, Miles is speedier than Peter, and they each have their own quirks, so we hope you can choose your favorite character."
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is currently set to launch for the PlayStation 5 in Fall 2023.

That's fine and all as long as it's filled with meaningful content and not a checklist.
That's what I was thinking. There was a LOT of "busy work" in the first game.
I never got the plat because I got bored of just waiting for on going crimes to happen in regions. It was end game and felt just like busy work.
You know, part of me wants not just a bigger map but more explorable. They could have stuck with Manhattan just made more buildings accessible to go in but alas. Fine eitherway.
That is good, but how much more content have you put and is it meaningfull? Is the map well populated? SM I loved all the time I done for the plat.
Wawesome stuff,
I've just came from a vacation and I wanna see the places I've been too haha!
Hopefully they include Brooklyn!
So New-York and New-Jersey
The entire US
