Expanded Marvel’s New York
In the video, Creative Director Bryan Intihar provides a deep dive into our expanded Marvel’s New York, including the ways we’ve evolved the game since we last masked up and played as our Spider-Men. New locations, updated exploration, exhilarating traversal, near-instant switching between heroes, a rogue’s gallery of villains, new abilities and gadgets, and brand-new Suit Styles are just some of the ways we’re upping the game this time around.
So, what’s new?
In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we’re nearly doubling the size of Marvel’s New York. Expanding beyond the East River, you’ll swing and soar over iconic landmarks across Queens and Brooklyn—complete with story missions, side quests, and city activities! This expansion also means even faster traversal options such as the Web Wings, which can be combined with traditional web swinging to move at exhilarating speeds.
Players will also be able to switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales in the open world, near-instantly thanks to the power of the PlayStation 5. Both Spider Heroes are important characters to the grand story we’re telling in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and each will have their own separate side stories to uncover throughout the city. Help students at Brooklyn Visions as Miles Morales or accept new requests for aid as Peter Parker via the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app—you can even choose to tackle certain activities as either Spider-Man!
Kraven the Hunter and the monstrous Venom join our roster of villains and will strain our heroes, their relationships, and the place they call home. However, they’re not the only two villains causing trouble in the city. We won’t spoil it for you—but our Spideys will need to, ahem, #BeGreaterTogether, to stop them using many new skills, gadgets, and abilities!
In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, we’ve layered on a new set of abilities and skills for our heroes: Pete’s new Symbiote powers and Spider-Arms are aggressive and relentless; meanwhile, Miles brings an electrifying and thunderous quality to his bioelectric venom power, as well as Evolved venom abilities. Mix, match, and deploy these abilities with ease using a streamlined control scheme and combo them in fights in all-new Spidey style!
Speaking of style, let’s talk suits! Featuring 65 suits, which include new original designs and fan favorites from films and comics, players will have an expansive wardrobe of costumes to equip in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We’re also delighted to announce Suit Styles, an all-new feature that unlocks alternate color shaders for some suits, which provide over 200 ways for you to outfit your Spider-hero!
The Digital Deluxe Edition
In May, we also revealed the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Digital Deluxe Edition featuring 10 exclusive Spidey suits, additional Photo Mode items, and 2 Skill Points. To bring these 10 suits to life, we partnered with several artists across comics, games, and films! We spoke with these artists to give us a little insight into their designs. We’ll be sharing deeper dives into these suits on Insomniac Games’ official social media accounts, so stay tuned!
- Apunkalyptic Suit – Designed by Jerad Marantz: Make the best out of any situation with the Apunkalyptic Suit, featuring a low-tech design that shows what Peter Parker can do with limited resources and a strong will.
- Stone Monkey Suit – Designed by Victoria Ying: Heavily inspired by Chinese legends, this suit brings an acrobatic and uniquely mischievous design to the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The suit is practical and stylish!
- Tactical Suit – Designed by Bend Studios: From Bend’s concept artists Joel Mandish and Darren Quach, the Tactical Suit is inspired by Japanese media and the vast universe of comics. It’s a futuristic and lighter design that stands out in our roster of Digital Deluxe Edition suits.
- Aurantia Suit – Designed by Raf Grassetti: The Aurantia Suit is an evolution of traditional Spider-Man designs that incorporates slick and practical spider motifs! Highlights include antennas infused into the mask elements, giving it a stealthy appearance made for Peter Parker!

- The EnC0ded Suit – Designed by Kris Anka: The EnC0ded Suit brings a cyberpunk flare to Miles Morales’ wardrobe! If you look closely at the suit, you may spot a few interesting details such as abstract lettering reminiscent of popular phrases from Spider-Man lore!
- Biomechanical Suit – Designed by Jerad Marantz: The merger between organics and mechanics, the Biomechanical Suit is inspired by popular anime creature designs, pushing an “otherworldly” style in its use of materials and themes.
- Red Spectre Suit – Designed by Sweeney Boo: Let’s paint the town red! The Red Spectre Suit spotlights the young and adventurous nature of Miles Morales. It merges Spidey’s heroic motifs with stylish fashion!
- Tokusatsu Suit – Designed by Julia Blattman: This design takes heavy inspiration from the world of insects and live-action Japanese media known as Tokusatsu. The design keeps Miles Morales’ iconic red and black color palette and incorporates a grand sense of Tokusatsu-like heroism!
- Agimat Suit – Designed by Anthony Francisco: Inspired by the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, the Agimat Suit is a playful and colorful design suited for Miles Morales. The suit gives off a hint of royalty with its high contrast purple and gold color palette!
On top of all the exciting news today, we’re thrilled to announce a special collaboration with EARTHGANG (feat. Benji) to bring you “Swing,” a new music track featured in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Listen to it first in our Digital Deluxe Edition trailer!

this is going to be massive in size and sales
This is what AAA games should be , polished, pushing the game tech foward, pure quality and passion from the devs. No lies and dust in the eyes of people, insomniac is top three devs in the world IMO.
Top three nah. They need to learn to be more creative in their side quest and enemy design. First one had same enemy design regardless of clan and the side Activites was doing the same thing X amount of times for every district. That annoyed me
Ok , who are the top three for you?
I put Santa Monica, obsidian and cd project
Sure there are things they can do better, 3 fantastic Spiderman and 1 Ratchet game in 5 years is pretty incredible output these days. Plenty of devs have released one game in that time...or none.
Quantity doesn't equal quality and it showed in spidermsn 1 and miles Morales. I am talking about the content in the game..lacks any creativity . Just copy and paste from one district to all districts in the game.. if they spent more time making the game , it would not be that repetitive
Insomniac are very good and consistent but I always find there games just good or very good, just a bit shy of great. Always feels like they are missing that little something to put them into the great category. Like spiderman had so many great aspects but was held back by very bland open world design and feeling too much like a checklist, plus the mary Jane sections were a real pace killer. Hopefully spiderman 2 will be the game that rises above and beyond for them.
Let me turn off Chromatic Aberration. It's glaringly bad in the screenshots. They let me in Rift Apart so crossing my fingers
BIG improvements in every area compared to the showcase in May.
This will sell like hotcakes!!!
New York got quite the upgrade. Can't wait!
Looks insanely fun.
That Playstation studios quality.
Looks better each time they show it.
I'm avoiding all game footage till launch. Looking forward to the sequel.
It just looks more impressive as they keep showing more
I wish I could play Spiderman in Tokyo or Shanghai next time. But for now I'm looking forward to Spiderman 2.
Hopefully they hace 120 fps mode
40 fps mode for 120 Hz for sure. I don't think PS5 can do 120 fps in this game but they should have an option to unlock the frame-rate like in Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart. Me personally I just hope there's a good 60 fps mode .
If they have it at 1080p native , upscaled to 4k, they can do 120fps.
I don't think CPU is strong enough to reach above 100 fps in open world
I think you're overestimating these consoles lol. We're in more for a 40fps generation than a 120fps generation lol. Indie titles, absolutely, AAA games especially open world, definitely not.
You want those kinds of framerates this gen, then hop over to PC gaming.
Just Confirmed 4K 30 fps with RT, 4K 40 fps with RT and 60 fps Performance mode with RT. No Performance no RT mode and no 120 Fps mode.
Just hope it's better then the first one as the first one was atrocious and repetitive. If it wasn't for easy plantinum I would have played it to the end.
Having to defeat gangs 5 times and for each district
. The gangs look like locals in cosplay outfits. Those kind of quests annoyed me. Same with getting rid of crime. There was only a few different types and was repeated in each districts. It lacked creativity. Even story mission was repetitive with what U had to do..it wasn't a bad game but it wasn't great. Miles was alot better because it was alot shorter
