Marvel Games’ executive Bill Rosemann has revealed that Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 will be “a little darker” than the first game. He likened the comparison to The Empire Strikes Back.
“If the first Spider-Man game was Star Wars, Spider-Man 2 is kind of our Empire,” Rosenmann said during the This Week in Marvel podcast. “It gets a little darker. There are multiple foes. I can say the story very much continues and picks up from Marvel’s Spider-Man to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. I don’t want to reveal too much but it’s the next big chapter, there are a lot of threads, a lot of characters that were in the first two games that you’ll see here.”
Rosemann also talked a little bit about Insomniac’s take on Wolverine, though he didn’t reveal anything and referred listeners back to the reveal trailer.
“If you go back and look at the trailer, the scene where you are behind Logan and he is at the bar, it is chock-full of Easter eggs,” he said. “The internet detectives have indeed found some of them, but they have not found all of the Easter eggs. We will eventually reveal when Wolverine is aimed to launch. I would say, for more, go back and study those trailers, they are packed with little details and Easter eggs.”
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will release sometime in 2023. Marvel’s Wolverine currently doesn’t have a release window, but we’re told that both titles are in development for the PlayStation 5.
We’ll update our readers when we have more information.
