Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will not feature New Game Plus at Launch

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release is just around the corner, and fans are more excited than ever with an increased map size and many new features.

However, fans are concerned about a tweet by ChrisGaming95, who finished Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 via an early copy. He mentioned that at least on day one, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will not feature New Game Plus.

He had completed Spider-Man 2 in under 30 hours and quickly acquired the Platinum Trophy. This is when he realized that no new game disheartened him.

New Game Plus refers to the act of playing the game after completing it, but this time around, with the character builds from the first gameplay intact. This has become a standard in most AAA titles recently.

However, not including it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is baffling. The developers have included so many new features in the title. Hence, it makes even less sense not to include a New Game Plus.

Insomniac Games have included web wings, deployable with Miles and Peter, allowing them to travel fast by gliding through the city. This option of traveling quickly also makes sense since the map has nearly doubled since Spider-Man 1.

Queens and Brooklyn will both be explorable in Spider-Man 2. They have also changed swinging mechanics and the chance of Peter or Miles running into each other during open-world combat.

This makes the gameplay even more immersive and cohesive at the same time. This will be something the developers have kept in mind. The switch between Miles and Peter is almost instantaneous, thanks to the hardware capabilities of PlayStation 5.

To ensure each player can customize the game to their heart’s content, Insomniac has also made certain players customize the difficulty.

The difficulty can be changed not just overall but also for atomic elements like “Enemy Health,” “Enemy Damage, and Stealth Awareness can be set to either Spectacular, Amazing, or Friendly.

Fans are mainly excited for the appearance of the symbiote Venom and Kraven the Hunter, amongst other things. The wait is almost over as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases exclusively for PlayStation 5 on October 20th.
