Highlights
Spider-Man 2 will feature interactive rides in the Coney Island area, adding a new level of immersion to the open-world gameplay.
Spider-Man 2 will have a distinct atmosphere with the inclusion of Queens, Brooklyn, and charming places like Coney Island, taking advantage of the new Web Wings gliding mechanic.
Insomniac aims to create a more immersive and varied gameplay for players, incorporating thrilling new locations and engaging side activities to enhance the overall experience alongside the main story missions.
The upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2 game will offer players a more immersive experience at Coney Island with the addition of interactive rides. In previous Spider-Man games developed by Insomniac, players were able to explore an open-world version of New York City as either Peter Parker or Miles Morales, engaging in activities such as running, jumping, and web-swinging.
Spider-Man 2 expands on the open-world structure seen in Marvel's Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales by introducing new locations like Queens, Brooklyn, and Coney Island. These newly added areas provide a distinct atmosphere in Spider-Man 2, with smaller settings and lower rooftops that make excellent use of the game's new Web Wings gliding mechanic. However, previous Spider-Man games had limited interactive activities outside of progressing through the main story or completing side quests, so players may not have expected much interactivity in Spider-Man 2's open world.
Insomniac Project Director Jeannette Lee recently disclosed an intriguing information about the rendition of the famous Coney Island entertainment area in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. In an interview with German outlet Golem, Lee confirmed that the game will offer fully operational attractions for players to enjoy in addition to the exhilarating web-swinging and crime-fighting mechanics. This is part of Insomniac's endeavor to create a more immersive open-world experience. Although Lee did not provide specific examples of what players can expect, it is worth noting that the actual Coney Island is renowned for its pristine beaches, captivating boardwalk, and exhilarating theme park rides.

During the interview, Jeannette Lee mentioned that developing Coney Island for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 provided a much-needed escape for the team at Insomniac, given that it was created during the COVID-19 lockdowns when they were confined to their homes. She expressed the team's desire to not only expand the game's locations for players to explore, but also to introduce more diverse and exciting experiences within the intricately crafted world of Insomniac.
There are still unanswered questions about the interactive features of Coney Island in Spider-Man 2. Specifically, players are eager to know which attractions they can enjoy and whether they will have the option to experience them as the costumed Spider-heroes or as Peter Parker and Miles Morales in their civilian attire. In any case, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 strives to offer players an immersive collection of side activities that can serve as a refreshing break from battles against formidable adversaries like Venom and Kraven the Hunter.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 releases on October 20, exclusively for PS5.
