Like with any video game leak, fans should take this information with a grain of salt. The leak originates from Reddit user throwawayquarantine8, who claims to have a contact that watched an Insomniac meeting that took place over Zoom on April 17 that featured an extended video on Spider-Man 2. We know that an Insomniac Games meeting did take place on April 17 thanks to a tweet by Community Director James Stevenson, but it’s possible that the leaker is just using that to make their claims seem more credible.

According to the leaker, Spider-Man 2 will start with Peter Parker having a conversation with Mary-Jane Watson about The Daily Bugle and J. Jonah Jameson. It will initially be set in the winter time, with physics to match. The game will supposedly have “seven dynamic weather types,” with light rain, light snow, and heavy snow showcased in the Zoom call.
The leak goes on to say that there will be dynamic missions through Spider-Man 2’s open world, with examples being balloon missions from the Spider-Man 2 movie video game, saving construction workers hanging off buildings, taking people to hospitals, and rescuing people from burning buildings. Spider-Man 2 will also have meatier side missions, including a fight with Mysterio, a side mission with Daredevil, and a race against the Human Torch called “Fantastic and Fiery.”
As far as the main story goes, it will revolve around the Venom symbiote, which has apparently originated in a lab at OsCorp in Spider-Man 2. The symbiote will initially be bonded with Harry as a way to cure his life-threatening illness before becoming bonded with Peter, giving him his classic black suit from the comics. Players will be able to swap to the symbiote suit whenever they want, and each suit in the game has its own symbiote version. Other suits apparently shown during the presentation include the “advanced suit” as well as the Sam Raimi suit from the movies.
Besides giving Spider-Man a new look, the symbiote suit in Spider-Man 2 will also change up how combat works, allowing players to be more aggressive than usual. It will also have its own dedicated skill tree that players can level up.
The presentation also apparently showed off some gameplay with Miles Morales, who will come into conflict with Peter Parker at certain points during the story. Norman Osborn is also seen, with a hint that he may become his Green Goblin persona during the course of Spider-Man 2’s story.
Finally, the Spider-Man 2 Zoom presentation ended with the reveal of three DLC packs: one based on Morbius, another based on Carnage, and a third based on Wraith.
Luckily, fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to find out if there’s any truth to this so-called leak. Apparently, Spider-Man 2 is set to be revealed late summer, possibly in August, depending on how the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues. The Spider-Man 2 release date is said to be holiday 2021 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive game.
Spider-Man 2 is rumored to be in development, exclusively for the PS5.
