Major Update For Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Is Out Now

[ad_1]

Spider-Man 2 version 1.002 has arrived, and it’s a big one, bringing the much-requested New Game Plus, among plenty of other upgrades and new content. Here’s everything that’s new.

Spider-Man 2’s New Game Plus will carry over your progression and add a bunch of new features to the game. Ultimate Levels increase the base game’s level cap, and playing through said levels will allow players to unlock new features including new story symbiote suit styles, exclusive golden looks for your gadgets, and a shared Suit Tech fusion slot. Trophy hunters will also be able to unlock one new trophy from playing through New Game Plus.

The base game has also had a heap of new features added–you can now replay any mission whenever you’d like, change the time of day at will, and customize your symbiote’s tendril color. Also added are some upgrades for photo mode, as well as four new suits–two Hellfire Gala inspired suits that are included in the base game, and the Fly N’ Fresh suits which are available to purchase, with all proceeds going to the charity Gameheads. These suits will become available for free later down the track.

Version 1.002 also adds a whole lot of new accessibility features including audio descriptions, a screen reader, new subtitle options, and plenty more.

Insomniac notes that the major update comes in two parts, so players will have to make sure both updates are installed to access the new features. If it doesn’t automatically install, players can close the game and select “check for update” from the main menu.

Insomniac have also noted that the update may have introduced a bug that allows players access to a development menu in-game, which will be fixed in an upcoming hotfix. The studio has warned that playing around with this menu could result in saves and trophy progress being corrupted.

For more of the fixes, updates, and new features included in this update, check out the full patch notes below:
