How many suits are available in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Furthermore, the digital deluxe edition offers ten additional outfits. Peter gets the 25th Century, Apunkalyptic, Tactical, Aurantia, and Stone Monkey suits, while Miles will have access to the Tokusatsu, Encoded, Agimat, Red Spectre, and the Biomechanical designs. These exclusive suits, coupled with extra photo mode items, early unlocks, and the web grabber gadget, add value to the digital deluxe edition.

One of the game's standout suits, the black symbiote version, which has its roots in the Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man 2, is set to play a significant role. Peter's experience with this black symbiote suit introduces new abilities and gameplay dynamics, creating a narrative parallel to his struggle with Venom, the alien parasite.

Finally, another impressive reveal is the game's enhanced character-switching system. Drawing inspiration from Grand Theft Auto V, players can now seamlessly toggle between the two protagonists, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, utilizing the PS5's ultra-fast SSD. This almost instantaneous switch ensures that players get a balanced experience of both Spider-Men and their unique abilities.

Narratively, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 promises to delve deeper into Spider-Man lore, introducing new villains along with a handful of fan favorites like Venom and Kraven the Hunter. There's even a tease for the appearance of Mysterio, adding another layer of intrigue. Additionally, other references, such as Jackson Weele's Big Wheel and the return of J. Jonah Jameson to The Daily Bugle, deepen the narrative roots of this sequel.

As the only first-party PS5 exclusive that's coming out this year - the oft-scapegoated Final Fantasy 16 doesn't count, in case you're wondering - Marvel's Spider-Man 2 carries a ton of expectations with it. But, from the earlier looks we've gotten so far, the mentor-mentee duo of Peter Parker and Miles Morales are more than up to the task.

Whether it's because of its expansive open-world, dual-character gameplay dynamics, or the extensive customization options, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 seems poised to exceed fan expectations.

With its upcoming release scheduled for October 20, Spider-Man fans won't have to wait too long to swing into action and dive into this epic superhero adventure.

It's unclear if Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will still get a solo State of Play showcase ahead of its release. In any case, we do hope Sony will start restocking the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 themed consoles and DualSense controllers, which were immediately targeted by scalpers after being made available.

Aside from Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Sony used the September 2023 State of Play to shine the spotlight on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which now has an official release date and teased for an official PC port.
