Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gameplay exposed

The final moment of Sony’s PlayStation Showcase featured a first peek at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gameplay.

The trailer showed both Miles Morales and Peter Parker as playable characters, with the ability to switch between them. The release date remains fall 2023.

The set piece-heavy teaser below gives you a peek at a number of the new powers that both characters have.

Gameplay for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is revealed

The exposure began with a cold that was made available to brand-new villain Kraven and his Hunters, who are pursuing Dr Curt Connors, also known as Lizard, but who are not in the trailer above.

The scene shifts to Peter Parker, who is now donning the infamous Black Suit and Symbiote tentacles (though the trailer makes no specific mention of Venom). The fact that this combat takes place in Queens suggests that this time, more of New York City will be included on the map.

Miles is returning with electrical skills and invisibility, as demonstrated in a stealth location with some remarkable lighting, while Peter has brand-new tendril talents.

According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, players will be able to “near-instantly switch between both our playable Spider-Men” and “effortlessly switch between both Spider-Men throughout a range of story minutes.” Then, maybe not evolving in GTA 5 fashion.

The Spider-Men chased jerks in boats and moved very slowly throughout the entire set piece over the water to further highlight the lighting effects.

Overall, the Spidey action is exactly the same as in the previous two video games, which may not be enough for some.

The PlayStation Blog concludes, “While we can’t confirm a date today, we are on schedule for Fall 2023, and aim to be able to provide a last release date immediately.
