FULL STORY ======================================================================

Marvels Spider-Man 2 will be massive, according to the voice actor who plays the web-slingingPeter Parker in Insomniacs critically-acclaimed superhero series.

In an interview with ComicBookMovie.com , voice actor Yuri Lowenthal revealed some tantalizing titbits about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ahead of its release on PS5 later this year, including what we can expect from the scale of the highly-anticipated sequel.

Ive still got a little bit [more work] to do, said Lowenthal. Its a massive game, so Im still doing a little bit of work.

Lowenthals emphasis on the size of the sequel is certainly interesting. The original 2018s Marvels Spider-Mans open world was nothing to sniff at. In a sterling piece of investigative journalism, one writer calculated that the games virtual Manhattan was roughly a quarter of the size of the real thing ( via Twinfinite ). That places the original Marvels Spider-Man open world at approximately 14.8 square kilometers an immense size for any one person to explore on their own.

Lowenthal lamented that he [couldnt] really talk about the game much, but described Marvels Spider-Man 2s scale as astonishing". Though light on specific details, Lowenthals comments suggest we could see an even bigger
open world this time around, though Insomniac Games hasnt confirmed this. There goes the neighbourhood (Image credit: Sony)

In addition, Lowenthal seemed to confirm that the sequel is on track to meet its late 2023 (between September and November) release window. I know [Insomniac are] confident about their release date, and [theyve] always been good about that," Lowenthal told the publication.

Thanks in part to the pandemic, the games industry has been no stranger to delays in recent years. Starfield, Darktide, STALKER 2: Hearts of Chornobyl, and Forspoken all suffered pushbacks in 2022. In this context, Lowenthals confidence in Insomniacs Q4 2023 release window for Marvels Spider-Man 2 is refreshing and bodes well for the titles launch.

Both Marvels Spider-Man and Marvels Spider-Man: Miles Morales offered thrilling open-world adventures which offered fresh takes on the web-slinger, bringing the iconic hero out from under the shadow of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The upcoming entry looks to bring the two eponymous Spider-Men together while offering a darker experience than the first game.

As a longtime Spider-Man fan, I cant wait to see where Insomniac takes the next entry in the series. The previous titles did a great job of
authentically capturing the Spider-Man fantasy, whilst delivering fluid, action-oriented gameplay, so Im hoping for more of the same this time around. Here's why Marvel's Midnight Suns made me fall in love with superheroes again.
