Spider-Man 2's New Game+ mode pushed back to 2024

In October, Insomniac Games launched Marvel's Spider-Man 2 without key features like New Game+ and audio descriptions. Just before the game's release, Insomniac's community and marketing director, James Stevenson, shared that New Game+ "should" arrive before the end of 2023. However, Insomniac has now released a statement explaining that it's targeting the next Marvel's Spider-Man 2 update for early 2024.

Insomniac shared the news on X: "We know players have been eagerly awaiting features such as New Game+ and Audio Descriptions, among many more. We have been working vigilantly on these features and require more testing to ensure the quality is up to our standards. We are now targeting Early 2024 for the next game update, and we'll have a feature-complete list closer to its release."

Insomniac went on to explain that it's adding more "highly requested features" to the game, such as replaying missions and changing the time of day. Many users' responses on X were positive, encouraging Insomniac to take all the time it needs and expressing their love for the company — some of which got answers from the company sharing its thanks and appreciation.

The original Marvel's Spider-Man game has New Game+, allowing players to start the game over while holding on to items they acquired during previous gameplay. But, despite the few missing features, we're big fans of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Gamers can play as Peter Parker or Miles Morales across a world that's expanded to include parts of Brooklyn and Queens. The story, side-quests, and more minor activities all added to the gameplay, creating a sequel that is "both bigger and better."
