Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s next big update finally has a confirmed release date and it’s soon.
While the webhead was notably absent from the last State of Play, Insomniac Games cleared the air regarding the release of the game’s New Game+ mode.
Shortly after addressing the understandable concern among fans, Insomniac revealed that NG+ is headed to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in March. But that’s not all. Ahead of the update’s launch, Insomniac is making a two-hour game trial of the sequel available to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. Similar to other game trials, any progress made and trophies earned during this period will carry over to the full game upon purchase.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the critically acclaimed sequel to the 2018 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man. It lets players take control of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. The latter was first introduced as the second Spider-Man in the spin-off/standalone expansion, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a launch title on PS5 in 2020.
The comic book video game is now the fastest-selling exclusive title of all time but the exact figures of its sales remain unknown. It’s highly unlikely, however, that the follow-up sold enough in two months to sell anywhere near close enough to Hogwarts Legacy, 2023’s best-selling game.
Sales aside, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s post-launch updates have been derailed by an incident involving a breach of confidential data over at Insomniac Games.
It’s unclear if Insomniac has already recovered from the backlash. Nevertheless, seeing the first-party Sony studio updating Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is a positive sign.
Based on the leaked information, Insomniac will release a standalone Venom title next year followed by Marvel’s Wolverine in 2026 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 in 2028. But it’s curious the rumored expansion for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, based off datamined information, wasn’t detailed in the leaks.
