Insomniac Games, the developer behind the popular Marvel's Spider-Man video game, has officially announced the launch of its sequel, Spider-Man 2, in a live announcement at the Summer Game Fest held recently. The game is set to launch on October 20 this year, exclusively for PlayStation 5. Fans can start pre-ordering the game from June 16. Marvel Hong Kong also took to social media to confirm the news.
Expanded Map and Dual Protagonists
While no new in-game footage of Spider-Man 2 was shown during the live announcement, the developers confirmed that the in-game map will be much bigger than its predecessors. For the first time, players will be able to explore not just Manhattan, but also Queens and Brooklyn.
One of the most exciting features of Spider-Man 2 is the introduction of Miles Morales as the second playable Spider-Man character.
