Insomniac Games has revealed in its San Diego Comic-Con panel for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that the upcoming web-slinging sequel will inject more New York and Marvel landmarks into its open-world, even going so far as to include Aunt May’s house in Queens for players to visit.
Jacinda Chew, Senior Art Director on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, had the following to share:
Not only does it increase the gameplay space, so there’s a lot more places for you to swing to, but it also has some really cool Marvel landmarks as well as New York landmarks. For example, I know in Queens, everybody has wanted to visit Aunt May’s house, and perhaps see where Peter lives. I know a lot of fans had wanted to interact with that space, so to just be able to walk in and see where he lives is incredible.
Insomniac Games recently clarified that Mary Jane’s face model has not been changed for the sequel after revealing new images of the character, and confirmed that players will have the ability to use Web Wings to aid in their traversal in the open world.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is scheduled for release on October 20, 2023 exclusively for PS5.
