Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Map Twice as Big as Previous Game, Players Able to Switch Between Peter and Miles at Any Time Outside of Missions

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Map

If you liked swinging around Manhattan in the first Marvel’s Spider-Man game and thought it was a large open world, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Insomniac Games has confirmed that the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 map is twice as big as the first game.

Speaking to Famitsu, Creative Director Bryan Intihar and Game Director Ryan Smith both shared new details about the Spidey sequel. For starters, prepare for a play area twice as big as the first game

Bryan Intihar: This work, Queens and Brooklyn have been added, and roughly speaking, the map size is about twice that of previous works. These two areas are rather small residential areas, so I think you can feel the charm different from Manhattan. We have prepared unexpected situations that have never existed before, such as battles using rivers that pass between cities, so please look forward to it.

In the same interview, Ryan Smith confirmed that players will be able to freely switch between Peter Parker and Miles Morales at any time — as long as they’re not in a specific mission.

Ryan Smith: As you can see, there are scenes where the character is decided during the story mission. However, when exploring the open world outside of story missions, you can freely switch between characters.

Some content is exclusive to a specific character, but we also have content that allows you to choose whichever you prefer to play. Since they are both Spider-Man, they have some things in common, but Miles is more speedy than Peter, and they each have their own individuality, so I hope you can choose your favorite character.

In case you missed it, go watch the lengthy gameplay demo Sony showed off featuring Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gameplay where we see Peter’s new powers in action.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to swing out to the PS5 sometime this year.
