After the incredible success of the first Spider-Man game, it was obvious a sequel would come in due course. However, with the addition of Miles Morales to the game, fans did not have a clear idea of where the story could go. While there were hints of Harry Osborn coming into play, the trailer has set expectations quite high.
Spider-Man 2’s story trailer was a mere dip into the expansive universe of the game. With Harry Osborn coming into the picture, there are many avenues Insomniac can take. However, what has fans even more excited is the wide variety of villains present in the game. In addition to Venom being an anti-hero character, villains such as the Lizard and Kraven are of great importance in the story for the sequel. Even Mr. Negative is back, although seemingly without his powers.

In addition to this, fans applauded Insomniac’s attention to detail when it came to individual characters. Peter, Miles, and Mary Jane all look visibly different in the trailer, aging as the story goes along. It reminds fans the story does not pick up where the last games left off. Each of these characters grew as the game progressed and the trailer shows that incredibly well. Fans hope to see these changes stay consistent with the story, especially since Miles becoming a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was a big part of his story!

The trailer also showed bits of Venom footage. Toward the end of the trailer, Venom says, “We’re going to heal the world,” as he wreaks havoc on a helicopter. Based on this footage and gameplay from the reveal trailer, Venom’s gameplay will be aggressive and quite destructive. Fans expect a significant addition to the move set available in terms of combat when it comes to playing with the Symbiote suit.

One thing fans seem incredibly excited about is the way Insomniac designed Venom and Peter’s bond. While Spider-Man does get increased strength due to the symbiote, it bolsters other traits such as anger and aggression. Insomniac did a great job with how they phrase this, showing fans through conversations between Miles and Mary Jane rather than just outright telling them, building up a bigger storyline.
