Summary
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is finally adding its long-awaited New Game Plus mode soon, along with additional costumes and accessibility features. Insomniac finally releasedSpider-Man 2on the PlayStation 5 last October to much critical and commercial success, with the game quickly becoming one of the developer’s highest-selling titles of all time. As both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, players are tasked with defending New York City from a multitude of classic comic book villains, including Kraven the Hunter and a reimagined version of Venom.
WhileSpider-Man 2is considered by many to be an excellent game and a worthy follow-up to Insomniac’s previous Marvel titles, there were some aspects that players felt less than thrilled about. For example, thecurrent lack of any New Game Plusor the ability to replay story chapters after they are beaten the first time means that players aren’t left with much to do after clearingSpider-Man 2’s primary campaign and many side quests. Insomniac has addressed this shortcoming, and promised eager fans that New Game Plus will be added toSpider-Man 2sometime this year.
Players now have a release date forSpider-Man 2’s massive new update, which will introduce New Game Plus and a host of other exciting bonuses and features that fans have been requesting for months. In a new post on thePlayStation Blog, Insomniac Community Director James Stevenson announced thatSpider-Man 2version 1.002 will launch on March 7. The includedSpider-Man 2New Game Plus featurewill allow players to restart the game on a higher difficulty with all their unlocked suits and abilities carried over. There will also be new things to unlock like Ultimate Levels and Golden Gadget styles.
