Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Story Trailer Gives You a New Look at Key Characters
/
During the 2023 San Diego Comic-Con, Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment debuted a new trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 focusing on the game’s story, showing key characters such as Peter Parker, the model of Mary Jane Watson, Miles Morales, Harry Osborn, and a good look at Venom in all his glory.
You can have a watch below.
In a new PlayStation blog post that went live with the release of this new trailer, Spider-man 2’s Senior Narrative Director Jon Paquette shares new details about the state of our main protagonists at the start of Spider-Man 2.
“At the beginning of our story, our Spider-Men are at the top of their game,” said Paquette. “But both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are struggling with their personal lives. Miles is trying to find time to write his college entrance essay, but he keeps procrastinating and focusing on Spider-Work instead. Meanwhile, Peter is underwater on payments for Aunt May’s house, but he can’t sell, it means too much to him. And just like Miles, Peter tries (and fails) to find balance with so many responsibilities. MJ wants to help Pete with the mortgage, but her job is on the line now that J. Jonah Jameson is back at the Bugle and looking to clean house. Our heroes have arrived at a confluence of crossroads, with uncertain futures, and some tough decisions ahead.”
There’s a lot going on as the Venom symbiote is now in the picture with Kraven the Manhunter and his goons now roaming the streets of New York.
At the end of the trailer above, we see Venom in all his glory, and in case you missed it, Venom’s host isn’t Eddie Brock but someone else.
This isn’t the only thing they shared at the event as they also revealed a limited edition Spider-Man 2 PS5 bundle with a Spider-Man 2-themed design for the console cover and DualSense controller, which will be sold separately.
Spider-Man 2 is set to launch on October 20, 2023, on PlayStation 5.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
