During the San Diego Comic-Con 2023 panel, Spider-Man 2 unveiled its story trailer, providing exciting clues about the future of our beloved heroes, Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The trailer introduces two primary threats that they will face: Kraven the Hunter and the Symbiote Venom. Fans were in for a surprise when the co-creator of the game, Bryan Intihar, revealed that Eddie Brock wouldn’t be Venom, hinting at a mystery twist that may involve Harry Osborne instead. Developer Insomniac Games also unveiled a limited edition PS5 bundle inspired by Spider-Man 2, featuring a console and DualSense controller engulfed in the darkness of the symbiote.
The trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 starts with a heartfelt conversation between Peter and Harry Osborne, where they express their desire to “heal the world.” It is confirmed that Coney Island will play a crucial role in the game, serving as the meeting place for Miles and Harry. While Miles strives to become a better friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter has taken up a new job as a waiter at a gourmet restaurant to assist with the payments for Aunt May’s house, which holds immense sentimental value.
Meanwhile, Miles finds himself balancing the responsibilities of being a hero in Brooklyn, New York, and procrastinating on writing his college entrance essay. This leads to an amusing conversation between Miles and Peter about whether he will still have time for tutoring.
Kraven’s hunters make their presence known in New York City, causing a stir and catching the attention of The Daily Bugle. Peter is seen briefly offering tips to Mary Jane Watson, his love interest and a reporter for the Bugle. However, a greater threat looms in the form of a black symbiote, endangering the city. The trailer also reveals Miles’ personal struggles as he tries to find his own path, leading to clashes with the villainous Martin Li/Mister Negative, who killed his father and has returned to town.
The story trailer takes a dark turn as Peter succumbs to the symbiote, resulting in him acquiring a sleek black body-morphing suit and new tentacular abilities. Unfortunately, the symbiote also alters Peter’s personality, causing strain in his relationships with Miles, MJ, and Harry. He becomes arrogant, rude, and resorts to violence when dealing with enemies.
Concerned by Peter’s behavior, MJ implores Miles to help him regain control. High-frequency sounds seem to weaken the symbiote, as seen when Peter’s suit reacts to The Lizard/Dr. Kurt Connors’ screeching. This encounter may provide a means for Peter to overcome the invasion and potentially pass it on to another individual. The trailer also showcases confrontations between Peter and Harry, with Harry receiving encouragement from his father Norman against a green backdrop that features a floating symbiote sample. As hinted in the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it appears that Harry will indeed become Venom.
It’s important to note that this trailer could be intentionally misleading, leaving fans to speculate about the true storyline. The voice of Venom, echoing Harry’s sentiments, vows to “heal the world” while engaging in fierce battles, including taking down an armed chopper.
In addition to the thrilling story, both Spider-Men, Peter and Miles, will be equipped with deployable Web Wings, enabling them to glide across the city. The game allows players to seamlessly switch between the two heroes during various story moments.
For those eager to pre-order the game, Sony is offering a limited edition PS5 bundle adorned with a glossy red and black theme. Pre-orders will be available on July 28, while the official launch is scheduled for September 1. If you already own a PS5, you can purchase the Spider-Man 2-themed console face plates and DualSense controller separately. The limited edition bundle will be available globally in limited quantities.
Get ready to swing into action as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 arrives exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
