The anticipation for Spider-Man 2 can be felt from San Diego to New York! Last night, Marvel’s dedicated Spider-Man 2 panel at San Diego Comic-Con debuted a new trailer, giving a proper first look at Venom.
The trailer features a lot of cut scene footage, and it hints at Venom’s role in the game. Though Venom has been portrayed as a villain in the comics, the trailer implies that Insomniac’s portrayal of him will be closer to an anti-hero. Venom promises to ‘heal the world’, but his brutal methods of dealing with criminals will no doubt bring him into conflict with Peter and Miles.
The trailer confirms theories that Venom is actually Harry Osborn, as teased in the post-credit scenes of the last two Spider-Man games. Harry makes an appearance in the trailer, telling Peter that he needs his help to 'heal the world'.
The game will also feature Mr. Negative, who killed Miles’ dad, and Kraven, the other main villain of the game. Fans have theorized that Peter may be Venom himself, although this has been disproven by official artwork.
In addition, Mary Jane will be assisting Peter and Miles in their battle against Kraven. She has a slight redesign with longer hair, and her face has been tweaked, although the difference is not as obvious as when they changed Peter’s face for the PlayStation 5 remaster.
Spider-Man 2 is set to launch for PlayStation 5 on October 20th. It promises to be an exciting game, as Insomniac talks about the darker tone of the game and how the symbiote serves as an allegory for people’s inner darkness. It will be interesting to see how Miles will grapple with his own desire for revenge as he and Peter battle Venom and Kraven.
