Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales: Release Date & PC Requirements Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales is the new spin-off video game of the renowned Spider-Man PS4 game, developed by Insomniac Games. If a release for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 really is planned to occur in less than two years, perhaps we’ll see the game formally revealed next year as we begin seeing more of the PS5. Sony Interactive Entertainment, Insomniac Games, and Marvel have teamed up to create a brand-new and authentic Spider-Man adventure. This isn’t the Spider-Man you’ve met or ever seen before. This is an experienced Peter Parker who’s more masterful at fighting big crime in New York City.

Anybody call for a webslinger? Between Yuri Lowenthal's sassy Peter Parker and Insomniac's loving interpretation of New York City, there's much to enjoy about Marvel's Spider-Man. Now that Spider-Man: Miles Moraleshas hit the market to great acclaim, development has likely begun on Peter Parker's next adventure across New York City.

What do we actually know about the sequel? Here's all the evidence that has surfaced about Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

When is the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 release date?

Spider-Man PS4 was released in September 2018 and was announced at E3 2016, more than two years before its release. It took Insomniac roughly four years to create, with development beginning in 2014.

However, given the work that Insomniac has already put into retouching New York with Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remastered, it's likely that the next Spider-Man game will be released far quicker than that.

Though the game has yet to be actually announced, it's certainly inevitable. Following fan assumptions that Peter might have perished between the first Spider-Man game and Miles Morales, Insomniac Creative Director Brian Horton cleared some things up via a PlayStation Blog post.

'Many of you fans have wondered if Peter Parker is OK. Don’t worry, we still have much of Peter’s story left to tell,' said Horton.

This statement confirms that Peter's story is still very much in progress, inadvertently confirming that more Spider-narratives are on the way. Perhaps we can expect a 2022 release date, with the game being announced after Sony has exhausted its initial launch title selection.

Is there a trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

This game has yet to be announced, so there isn't a trailer available. Watch this space!

What consoles will Marvel's Spider-Man 2 be released on?

The sequel will almost certainly be released exclusively on the PS5, because of the short time left in the current console generation and how much of a hit it was for the PS4.

Sony even released a limited-edition Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 Pro Bundle when the game was launched. It could do the same thing with the PS5 to boost sales and convince games to pick the new PlayStation.

Who are the new heroes in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Spoilers ahead.

Based on information from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it appears that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will have dual protagonists of Peter and Miles. Clearly, Miles has gotten a handle on his abilities, enough that he can easily lead his own narrative. Aside from Miles, Silver Sable could potentially return as a hero. Peter did mention in Spider-Man: Miles Morales that he spent time with her while in Europe.

It seems that Spider-Man 2 will feature dual narratives, one for Peter and another for Miles. These stories will likely overlap at some point and feature a few team-up missions.

One of the big additions in Spider-Man: Miles Morales were the two-person takedowns. We briefly saw these in use when Miles and Phin were working together to take down Roxxon. This takedown style will likely return in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but between Peter and Miles.

Who are the villains in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Between the endings of Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we have ample clues as to the villains in the next game. We can assume the villains will be Wilson Fisk, Green Goblin (Norman Osborn), Venom (Harry Osborn), and The Lizard (Curt Connors).

Wilson Fisk recently appeared as the coda to a lengthy side quest arc in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. In his appearance, Fisk and Miles came to verbal blows. The encounter concluded with Fisk promising 'Harlem hasn't seen the last of me' and other Scooby-Doo villain esque statements. Assuming his promise can be trusted, Fisk could become a personal foe for Miles in the sequel.

The first game leaves Norman in a dark place, he’s resigned as mayor of New York, and he's growing increasingly desperate to find a cure for his son, Harry Osborn, who has a terminal illness. It becomes increasingly clear that Norman is spiraling into madness. The vast amounts of wealth and lab technology he has access to allow him to pursue more extreme measures to help his son.

When MJ sneaks into his lab, she also discovers a prototype mask, blueprints for a hovercraft, and three purple grenades. The signs are clear as day that Norman is developing the Green Goblin persona, his hoverboard, and his signature Pumpkin Bombs.

While Norman seems to be undergoing a villainous turn to the Green Goblin, Harry could be the sequel’s Venom. Fans were up in arms about the exclusion of Spidey’s alien suit as an alternate skin, but Insomniac Creative Director Bryan Intihar said they had good reason to leave it out.

“I think something like that suit deserves its day in the spotlight and I think just making it an unlockable suit wouldn’t be doing it justice,” he said in September 2018 interview. “I think it’s one of the best stories in Spider-Man. It’s a complex story that story needs to be told and it needs to be told in the way that Insomniac would tell it.”

Harry could be the best character to tell that story with seeing as his and Peter’s relationship is one of the most mysterious in the game and is only really addressed through various journal entries and Easter eggs.

The game leaves off with Harry in critical condition and his father places him inside of a stasis chamber with a black, web-like substance encasing his body. The black goo is extremely similar to the symbiote fans have seen in the Spider-Man comics and films that bring Venom to life.

To top this off, Sony re-introduced Venom into the cultural conversation with last year’s movie, featuring Tom Hardy as the classic Spidey villain. With a Venom movie sequel in the works, it makes sense to capitalize on that interest by making him a primary villain in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

When we revisited the plot thread (plot web?) in Spider-Man: Miles Morales' post-credits scene, Curt Connors was present. His brief appearance almost definitely sets him up for a larger role in the sequel. From the blood sample found in the first game, it seems that Connors has already transformed into the Lizard once, he'll likely return to his supervillain persona in the next game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 has cemented itself as the greatest Spidey game of all-time. The 2018 title was such a success that Sony Interactive Entertainment acquired its developer Insomniac Games in August 2019, all but confirming a sequel on the PS5. Now, an alleged leak has emerged that claims to reveal the Spider-Man 2 release date, new gameplay features, and key plot points. Is all of this too good to be true?

On Thursday, redditor u/UtopianThrowaway90 posted a massive list of what they claim are Spider-Man 2 details they learned from an anonymous source familiar with the matter. It’s impossible to verify these types of claims, especially when the Reddit account in question was seemingly created to specifically post the game information. What they claim, however, does closely resemble a batch of leaks about the game from February.

Keep in mind that neither Sony nor Insomniac have officially confirmed any sort of release window for Spider-Man 2, but considering it sold more than 13.2 million copies worldwide, it's a no-brainer. The original Spider-Man perfectly set itself up for a sequel, so it’s not a matter of if but whenSpider-Man 2 will hit shelves.

When is the Spider-Man 2 PS5 release date?

UtopianThrowaway90 claims that Spider-Man 2 will release during the 2021 holiday season “probably in September like PS4 Spider-Man was.” They went on to say that Sony will reveal the title “this summer,” which is identical to what a different Reddit user allegedly leaked in January.

That means Spider-Man 2 won’t be a PS5 launch title. Even then, a 2021 release date seems a bit ambitious. The first took Insomniac roughly four years to create with development beginning in 2014. That means fans of the game might need to wait at least a few years more before we even hear about the sequel unless development on the sequel started even before the first was released.

Now that the developer is a part of Sony, the company could give them access to more funds, staff, and technology that could speed up the development process and make a late-2021 release date possible.

What will the Spider-Man 2 PS5 gameplay be like?

Spider-Man for the PS4 lets players swing around Manhattan only, but UtopianThrowaway90 says that the sequel will expand into two new massive areas of New York City: Brooklyn and Queens.

The alleged leaker also claimed that the game’s web system is getting more fluid to also become more intricate. It’ll start with a feature they called “Web-Chain,” which they state will let Spidey immediately zip to another ledge. This will be complemented with a variety of unique swinging animations that will make traversing NYC feel less repetitive.

“They have like 2 animators devoted completely and solely to the web release animations throughout the entire development cycle,” wrote UtopianThrowaway90.

To top it off, the developers are supposed to be creating three types of swinging modes so players can customize their experience to who they’d like to play. These could include: “Realistic, Arcade, and Hybrid” modes. Realistic will be the most difficult of the bunch with no assistance, Arcade will be the easiest, and Hybrid will be exactly how it was in the PS4 game.

What will the Spider-Man 2 Story be like?

UtopianThrowaway90 posted a few plot details, some that were obvious based on how the original game ended and other reveals that are unconfirmed, but any Spidey fan would be hyped for.

To start, they say Spider-Man 2 will kick-off about five or six months after the original and take place in the winter. Peter is still mourning the death of Aunt May and he lives with MJ, but she won’t be a big part of the game’s “first act.”

Miles Morales is also supposed to make a return, but this time as a playable character with his own Spidey powers. This was widely anticipated since the previous game ends with Miles showing Peter Parker his new arachnid-themed abilities, however, UtopianThrowaway90 states that Insomniac isn’t sure if they’ll let gamers roam the city with Miles just yet.

“Miles is playable in sections of the game,” they say. “They're still unsure whether to let the player free roam as him but it isn't being thrown out completely just yet.”

Finally, just like the original game, there will allegedly be a flurry of new villains to battle as the story progresses. These include Harry Osborn who becomes Venom, which is pretty evident since the original title left off with him in critical condition and his father, Harry Obsorn, places him inside of a stasis tank with a black goo that looked like the Venom Symbiote.

There might be plenty of unexpected baddies to fight against too, like mutants spawned by Oscorp’s cloning experiments, Carnage, or Mysterio. So brush up on your web-swinging. You’re going to need it if this squad of evil-doers actually do make it into Spider-Man 2 on the PS5.

Spider-Man 2 should be released for the PS5 … eventually.
