Summary
The latestMarvel’s Spider-Man 2trailer has just been posted, and it gives players a new look at some of the iconic supervillains they will face off against. Insomniac’s latest superhero action game is now less than a week from launch, and hype has been building with every new piece of footage released. Recently, fans got to see a snippet ofBlack Suit Spider-Man’s boss battle with the Lizardin a brief clip, but Dr. Curtis Connors and his reptilian alter-ego are but a small taste of the foes Peter Parker and Miles Morales will fight against in their latest adventure.
Spider-Man 2will see the emergence of Venom, whose involvement in Insomniac’s growing Marvel gaming universe has been teased as far back as the originalMarvel’s Spider-Mangame, and early trailers also revealed thatthe equally infamous Kraven the Hunteris headed to the open world of New York City to test his skills against its many superbeings. LaterSpider-Man 2footage provided glimpses of some of these supervillains, such as formerMarvel’s Spider-Manfoe Martin “Mr. Negative” Lee and Peter’s old NYPD ally Yuri Watanabe, who appears to have taken on her comic vigilante persona of Wraith after the events of the first game’sCity That Never SleepsDLC.
A newMarvel’s Spider-Man 2launch trailer was recently posted on the official PlayStation YouTube channel, highlighting the game’s darker plot ahead of its release on October 20. During this intense montage of cutscene and gameplay footage, Miles can be briefly seen fighting Mr. Negative - confirming that he will indeed confront the former Sinister Six member for the death of his father in the first game. Meanwhile, Peter finds himself face-to-face with Flint Marko,known to Marvel fans as the Sandman. The sand-composed supervillain has seemingly grown to a massive height, requiring Peter and Miles to web-swing around him and dodge his powerful blows.
The latestSpider-Man 2trailer also featured more of Peter’s struggles withthe mysterious Venom Symbiote, which bonds itself to him and appears to be slowly corrupting the once-friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Both Miles Morales and Mary Jane Watson can be seen confronting Peter about his darker demeanor, while Norman Osborn and his forces appear to want the Symbiote recovered for their own purposes. Even if Peter manages to free himself from the influence of the ooze, it seemingly bonds with another person (who many believe to be Peter’s terminally ill friend Harry Osborn) to become the monstrous Venom.
While most of the supervillains shown in the finalMarvel’s Spider-Man 2launch trailer were either confirmed or highly speculated beforehand, seeing them in action against Peter and Miles will certainly add to the hype building around the newest superhero Marvel game. Miles battling Mr. Negative looks to be a gripping and emotional confrontation given their shared history, while the Spider-heroes’ fight with the towering Sandman offers a stunning showcase of the PlayStation 5’s graphical capabilities. Fans won’t have to wait too much longer to experience these sinister foes in action, asSpider-Man 2is set to swing onto the PS5 later this week.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
