‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’ Creative Director Confirms Switching From Peter to Miles, But There’s a Catch

The livestreamed PlayStation Showcase event last week revealed massive details about "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" video game. The gameplay was first revealed to the public at the event, showing what to expect, including a feature of one iconic character switching in action.

It showed how gamers could play as either Peter Parker or Miles Morales in the PlayStation 5 sequel, and the game's creative director has confirmed this feature to be available.

Apart from the character-switching feature, classic Spider-Man villain Kraven the Hunter was also revealed to be appearing in Insomniac's upcoming "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" game.

'Marvel's Spider-Man 2' Character Switching Confirmed

Excitement is brewing among gamers and Marvel fans as creative director Bryan Intihar has officially confirmed the inclusion of character switching between Peter Parker and Miles Morales in the highly-anticipated "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" video game.

In a recent interview, Intihar told Eurogamer that players would have the ability to seamlessly switch between the two beloved Spider-Man characters with just the push of a single button while freely exploring the game's New York open world.

Fans of both Peter and Miles will now have the opportunity to alternate between their favorite web-slinging heroes and witness their unique abilities firsthand.

To further enhance the gaming experience, "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" will introduce a larger map for players to explore, providing a more expansive and immersive environment.

There's a Catch on Peter Parker and Miles Morales' Switching

However, while switching between characters is freely available, Bryan Intihar noted that the game would dictate the character switching during the main story missions or arcs.

"When you're playing the main story, we control when you switch between Pete and Miles... it's done in service to the story when we're making those switches, for sure," Intihar told the outlet. "So, as you saw on that gameplay reveal, which is a segment of the main story, we are pre-determining those based on what we want to do for how the story plays out."

What to Expect on 'Marvel's Spider-Man 2'

When Insomniac and PlayStation first teased the sequel game last year, players expected that Venom would be the main villain in the game.

However, it follows the comics where it would first latch on to Peter Parker before looking for another host, notoriously known as Eddie Brock Jr.

It was also claimed that Peter would have the suit with the wing glider, but the latest showcase revealed it would be Miles Morales sporting it. Still, one of the most important features here is the character switching, as first popularized by "Grand Theft Auto V."

By seamlessly transitioning between Peter and Miles, players can fully immerse themselves in the rich and diverse world of "Marvel's Spider-Man 2," experiencing the unique playstyles and perspectives of both iconic characters.

As the release of "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" draws nearer, fans eagerly anticipate the opportunity to step into the shoes of their favorite web-slingers once again.

The seamless character-switching feature promises to bring a new level of excitement and variety to the gameplay, allowing players to feel like they embody the spirit of Spider-Man.
