Insomniac Games has unveiled new details about the story in the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

In a new post on PlayStation Blog, they said:

Story spoiler territory here, so if you’d rather go into the game’s narrative arcs blind, skip to the next paragraph. Our heroes don’t only have to juggle escalating crime sprees, but also the complexities of fresh friendships and familiar faces meeting.

The game is set nine months after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

In the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Harry Osborn is Peter’s best friend since high school. They’re as close as brothers, bonded over a love of environmental science.

Absent for a while (to friends, traveling Europe, in truth, isolated from the world by an unknown disease), the preview reveals the new equilibrium of their friendship: Harry knows Peter is Spider-Man (and knows Miles is as well), Peter has the Black Suit, and they’re trying to find a possible cure for Harry’s illness.

In the meantime, check out the new screenshots below:

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will launch for the PS5 on 20 October 2023.
