Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will let you explore twice as much of New York

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 it obviously takes place in New York once again, but Insomniac has shared that the map is now twice the size.

When it comes to something like Marvel’s Spider-Man, making a sequel means you can’t exactly change the map; It’s just set in real New York City, so there’s not much you can change. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can explore all of New York in the first game, which means there was room to expand it. And it is expanded by Insomniac, according to an interview with the washington post (paywall, thanks IGN), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 creative director Bryan Intihar has said that the map is “twice as big”, compared to the first game.

“In terms of the size of the city, it’s twice the size of Spider-Man 1,” Intihar said. “When you play in Queens, there’s a lot more of a neighborhood feel, smaller buildings, which is why the web wings work so well when going through that area, where you can swing low to the ground if you want, or you can fly through.”

However, you’ll not only find Queens added to the game, but Brooklyn as well, with Intihar expanding on how the map will be different from the first game in an interview with Famitsu (translations via Gematsu). “We’ve added Queens and Brooklyn this time around, so generally speaking the map size is about twice as big as previous titles,” Initihar said. “Since these two areas are somewhat smaller and more residential, I think you’ll find them different from Manhattan. We’ve prepared some unexpected situations that we haven’t done before, like a river battle between two of the cities, so I hope you’ll look forward to it.” eagerly.”

Last week, Insomniac finally showed off an extended look at some gameplay from the upcoming sequel, notably revealing that Kraven the Hunter will be one of the main villains you’ll face in the game. He also showed us how Peter’s Spider-Man will be playing in the Venom suit of him, who appears to be much more of a heavy hitter compared to Miles’ Spider-Man, who you’ll also be able to play as.
