Insomniac Games, the creator of Spider-Man 2, has officially confirmed a substantial update scheduled for 2024, aimed at enhancing the gaming experience for players. Despite Spider-Man 2’s critical acclaim and nominations at The Game Awards 2023, the game didn’t secure any wins at the event. Nevertheless, it remains highly regarded as one of the standout titles of 2023.
The game received acclaim for its stunning graphics, gripping narrative, and stellar performances. While it garnered praise, Insomniac Games acknowledges that there’s room for improvement. Though fans anticipated a major update in 2023, the studio clarified that the update is now slated for an early 2024 release, offering a glimpse into what it will entail.
Spider-Man 2 updates thus far mainly focused on bug fixes. However, the upcoming significant update set for 2024 is anticipated to introduce several new features, including New Game+, Audio Descriptions, the option to change the time of day, the ability to swap tendril colors, and a feature to replay missions. While these features have been disclosed, Insomniac Games teased that there’s more to come, promising additional information closer to the launch date.
The introduction of New Game+ mode might be the most anticipated addition among fans, enabling them to replay the game with upgraded abilities. While Insomniac didn’t mention it explicitly, there’s hope among fans that New Game+ might introduce new trophies, further incentivizing players to revisit the superhero experience.
While many fans are excited about the free update, some are also hopeful for premium DLC similar to the original Spider-Man game. Spider-Man 2 presents numerous storylines and potential villains that could be explored through additional content, whether it’s in the form of DLC or a full-fledged sequel. However, as of now, no official announcements have been made regarding any premium DLC for Spider-Man 2.
With the foundation laid by Spider-Man 2, including various unresolved plotlines and villains, fans eagerly await further updates and potential expansions to the beloved game, keeping a keen eye on Insomniac Games for any future developments.
