During the panel, the developers confirmed that Aunt May's house will be featured in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

This fragment provides an indication about the plot of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, suggesting that the initial segments of the game will occur in Forest Hills, Queens. In every iteration of the Marvel web-slinging superhero, Aunt May's house is located in this canon area. The confirmation that Insomniac's third Spider-Man game will encompass Queens and other New York boroughs was already revealed during the May 24 PlayStation Showcase. This decision has been widely acclaimed as it addresses one of the major criticisms of the previous two Marvel's Spider-Man games, which were primarily limited to Manhattan.

In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker will don the symbiote suit, which grants him new powers but also takes a toll on his mental state, serving as a plot device. The recent gameplay reveal in late May also confirmed a character swapping mechanic similar to Grand Theft Auto 5, giving players the choice to play as either Peter Parker or Miles Morales.

Although Kraven the Hunter is being positioned as the main antagonist, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will also see the return of other familiar villains. One of the key adversaries will be Mister Negative, who played a significant role in Insomniac's previous Spider-Man games.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launches October 20 for PlayStation 5.
