Peter & Miles team up against classic foes in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launch trailer
In the trailer, Miles goes to Peter to ask for help. The trailer implies that Miles is in over his head fighting the Sandman. Fans of the original game may remember Sandman was teased via a backpack collectible that contained a vial of sand that Peter wasn’t sure if it actually contained Sandman or just some inert sand.
But the highlight of the trailer is the showcase of Venom and the symbiote-infected Peter, including a Peter in darker clothes and a rude demeanor towards MJ thathearkens back toSpider-Man 3.
The trailer also reveals Norman calling for Oscorp enforcers to “get the symbiote off of him!,” though the camera does not revealwhothe him is. Whileit has been confirmed it won’t be Eddie Brock, and the first game teased it would be Harry Osborn, the actual identity of the game’s Venom has been kept a closely guarded secret.
The trailer does showcase more of the black suit, including a knock-down fight between Spider-Man and Lizard. There’s also a tense battle between Miles and Mr. Negative, which would mark the first time Miles has been one-on-one withthe man responsible for his father’s death.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2releases October 20 for the PlayStation 5. You’ve still got plenty of time to pre-order that digital deluxe edition andget all those sweet costumes.
