Insomniac Games Gives Hint at Potential Play-Time for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is building up to be something worth the wait. Fans have been debating details of the upcoming Insomniac Games title across social media platforms for quite some time. And with the game inching closer to its release, a lot has been revealed. Players now know that the map will be double the size of its predecessor. And Mysterio is apparently in the game as well! Amidst all the reveals, it looks like the devs have given away the length of the game. And it’s sure to turn some heads.

Over the last few days, rumors about the game’s main antagonist rocked the gaming community. With Spidey having tons of adversaries who are always looking to take over New York City, Peter Parker will have his work cut out for him with Miles as Spider-man too! Now, as the devs hint at the upcoming game’s possible run-time, we can expect fans to stay engaged in trying to save NYC from a long list of villains yet again. You must wonder, how long will it take to beat the whole game?

Senior official reveals possible play-time for Spider-Man 2

Over the past few weeks, we’ve learned more details about the sequel. Spider-Man 2 is expected to have a more seamless fast travel system, a map that includes Brooklyn and Queens, the return of Martin Li and more. Now, Insomniac has shed light on how long the game may take for players to complete and the prospects look promising. A Reddit post has shared some potential information about Spider-Man 2, based on an interview by one of the senior Directors at Insomniac Games.

How long is Spider-Man 2? “About the same as the first game”, says Insomniac

From what we gather, Spider-Man 2 will have a play-time, roughly similar to its predecessor. In a recent interview, Ryan Smith, a senior Insomniac official, revealed the possible play-time for the upcoming Spider-Man game. “Spider-Man 2 is in the same ball-park as the first game in terms of overall play time,” said Smith. Spider-Man’s main story can be completed in more or less than 17 hours. If what Smith says is true, we expect Spider-Man 2 to be somewhere under 20 hours as well, in that case.

However, it’s important to note, this could be for players who only take a crack at the main story, and not much of the side missions. Considering the total completion time for the previous game, including side missions and activities, and everything there is to do, there could be up to 35 hours of gameplay for completionists.

A familiar open-world philosophy to guide the upcoming game

The main attraction of Spider-Man was how the devs kept a relatively small open-world setting. Ditching expansive maps, it was possible to create a storyline that captivated players. It seems like something similar will also be the guiding hand for Spider-Man 2.

Smith thinks a massive open-world setting isn’t always something that works for every game. “We don’t want this to be an 80-100 hour game, that’s not where we want to be. We want to tell amazing stories, the best we can,” Smith mentions.

Players can expect about as much gameplay as the complete edition of the previous game. And players will surely have plenty of time to explore the expanded map and do all missions.
