Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Is Coming With 5 New Traversal Mechanics With Some Build Off of Spider-Man Movies

Remember when Insomniac dropped the teaser of an open-world New York City in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2? Many fans were surely charmed to know whether swinging through skyscrapers will be possible in this upcoming game as well. And to put an end to the fans’ query, the trailer of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brought some amazing Traversal mechanics, which one might have seen in the Spidey movies and old games.

But for Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, it is completely a new set of mechanisms, where our friendly neighborhood superhero performs some mind-blowing moves for traveling from place to place. And with this new set of traversal mechanics, playing this action-adventure game will be unbelievably fun!

New traversal mechanics in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Insomniac upgraded the traversal mechanism in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Not just that, critics believe that these new five mechanisms will give players an exact Spider-Man-like adventure in the game. Although these mechanisms were previously seen in many Spider-Man movies in the Insomniac franchise, these are completely new. The list of mechanisms starts with water skimming. If a player swings through the buildings and drops near a water body, then he can actually skim through the water without any web usage. This traversal mechanism is quite similar to another traversal mechanism, Sunset Overdrive. Sunset Overdrive can be seen in the older Spider-Man games by Insomniac. 

Not just that, players can also experience loop de loop. While diving if players hold the R2 button, they can perform a loop maneuver with a super-kinetic speed. This means players can use constructions to swing and make a loop to get launched far. Remember, Andrew Garfield doing the same in the Amazing Spider-Man movie?

This is previously seen in Toby McGuire’s Spider-Man 1. Then there is the amazing slingshot which players previously experienced in the Amazing Spider-Man video game. And finally here comes the web wings. If players use their web wings and web swings together to swing through, they can travel relatively further in the game. 

Exploring the universe of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will feature two Spider-Man protagonists, Miles Morales and Peter Parker. Insomniac is offering over 50 Spider-Man suits with uncountable customization opportunities. From Kraven to Sinister Six, half of the Spider-Man universe’s gruesome villains will make their presence at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. And now with these new traversal mechanics, fans will surely have a blockbuster time with this game.
