The upcoming PS5-exclusive Spider-Man 2 lets you swing through New York City as Miles Morales and Peter Parker, fighting crime together. With a little something, the developers have now made players very happy.
What kind of game will this be? Spider-Man 2 will be the successor to the 2018 released open-world adventure and will be released on October 20, 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5. You can already find a detailed preview at GamePro.
Unlike its predecessor, which allowed players to take on the role of Peter Parker, this time there will be two Spider-Men: Our hero is joined by his colleague Miles Morales. With a simple button press on the PS5 DualSense, you can switch between the two.
To ensure this works for a long time, we have 6 tips for you, that will help the PS5 controller’s battery last longer.
The Dual Spider-Man
What did the developers reveal? As James Ham, Associate Animation Director at Insomniac, revealed in an interview with Danny Peña (via TCMF2), the other Spider-Man will not simply disappear from the game world when the player switches.
‘There will be moments when you swing through the city and see the other Spider-Man actively doing something or preventing a crime,’ says Ham. The NPC Spider-Man is not just mere decoration: When you encounter him in a battle, you should have the option to ally with him.
Conversely, the other Spider-Man should also be able to assist you in combat when he encounters you.
How is it being received? In a thread in the PS5 subreddit, the news sparked a lot of joy among players. Here are some comments we have compiled for you:
- Acrobatic-Dig-161: “[…] If Insomniac can’t do encounters in the Rockstar mode, but gets close, Spider-Man 2 might become my favorite game.”
- GaryTheCabalGuy: “It would have been so easy for them not to add that, and for totally justified reasons. Just an insane attention to detail. I love it.”
- Atroxo: “That’s such a cool addition that I didn’t even know I wanted.”
Some players are already spinning the thread further and hope that you can swing against the inactive Spider-Man.
