Vi har i et stykke tid vidst, at skurken Venom ville komme til at spille en stor rolle i det kommende Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fra Insomniac Games.
Det bliver til fulde bekræftet i den seneste trailer til spillet, der debuterede i forbindelse med San Diego Comic-Con. Her spiller Venom nemlig en prominent rolle mod slutningen.
På trods af masser af action i traileren, så er spillets udgangspunkt dog ganske hverdagsagtigt. Senior Narrative Director Jon Paquette har følgende at fortælle om spillets historie ovre på PlayStation Blog:
"At the beginning of our story, our Spider-Men are at the top of their game. But both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are struggling with their personal lives. Miles is trying to find time to write his college entrance essay, but he keeps procrastinating and focusing on Spider-Work instead.
Meanwhile, Peter is underwater on payments for Aunt May's house, but he can't sell, it means too much to him. And just like Miles, Peter tries (and fails) to find balance with so many responsibilities. MJ wants to help Pete with the mortgage, but her job is on the line now that J. Jonah Jameson is back at the Bugle and looking to clean house. Our heroes have arrived at a confluence of crossroads, with uncertain futures, and some tough decisions ahead."
Traileren giver også et glimt af de nye områder i spillets New York, der inkluderer forstæderne Queens og Brooklyn. Da du ikke længere er begrænset til at svinge mellem Manhattans skyskrappere vil spillets kort, derfor være næsten dobbelt så stort som i det originale Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 2 udkommer den 20. oktober eksklusivt til PlayStation 5.
