Bryan Intihar, the creative director on the wildly successful Marvel’s Spider-Man, has prompted speculation that Insomniac Games is about to get started on a sequel. Writing on Twitter this week, he posted a famous GIF, alongside the caption: “Few things are more nerve-wracking than sharing your first story draft to others.”
He didn’t clarify, so this could pertain to anything. Perhaps the ex-1Up editor is writing a novel in his spare time, or maybe he’s pitching a different project to his employers. Maybe, though, this is the outline for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which is about as certain to get made as the sun rising tomorrow. You won’t get to play it until PlayStation 5, but it’s going to be glorious, isn’t it?

Forget ps5 games, I am still waiting for the rest of the ps4 bangers.
@Gamer4Lyfe Well, those’ll all be out this year! Then, the PS4 > PS5 remasters will be flooding in 😹
@Gamer4Lyfe word up playa.too many games for the ps4.im still playing on my ps3 slim and ps4 pro combine.ps3 was and still amazing.word up son
The success of Spider-Man does make me a little sombre.
With it's wild success, Insomniac has no reason to return to Ratchet, which means of all the things that made me love my PS2, the last one is likely about to hit the sunset.
A shame, but all things must end I suppose.
And yes I know the PS4 reboot was the best selling in the series, but what would Insomniac and Sony rather do? Another Ratchet for a couple mil, or Spider-Man for another 10mil plus?
@Knuckles-Fajita One of their biggest successes as a company was the Ratchet PS4 game. I don’t think they’re going to abandon the series. Most companies their size have two projects going. One is the main focus, the other is a team getting started on whatever’s next. Don’t be surprised if one team is already well into working on a Ratchet game.
@Knuckles-Fajita they work on more than one game at a time and are pretty fast.
@Knuckles-Fajita Insomniac’s pretty big. I wouldn’t rule out another Ratchet entirely!
@Knuckles-Fajita Insomniac has more than one team, I think it’s reasonable to expect more Ratchet & Clank soon.
Can’t wait for the sequel on PS5.
I'm sure Spider-Cop 2 will be great but we are talking a good 3 to 5 year wait.
At this rate, it'll be done before Metroid Prime 4
@Splat. No way. Assets and engine in place. I expect within first 12 monts of PS4. Spring 2021 sounds right. Maybe 3- no way it takes 5. For perspective Barlog said GoW was 5 because of making an engine and creating assets and artwork.
Really looking forward to it, was a truly excellent game.
@Splat
I wouldn't be too quick to assume. A lot of the game play mechanics and assets from the first game can be reused now should they choose to. And Spiderman doesn't tend to travel outside his home city much.
Full blown Venom story please, although I trust whatever they choose will be good. I just hope they improve the non Spidey sections if they do them again, as they were the weakest part.
Like others have said, with it being a sequel and the size of the studio I could see this being relatively quick to make. Wouldn’t be surprised if they had a trailer ready for the Ps5 release as it is another system seller.
Don't know about you lot, but I just want another Ratchet and Clank game.
Best of luck to them! Although I'm in no hurry to buy even the first one yet. Certainly interested, but focused on my other platforms and scared to run into another control scheme challenge impeding an otherwise awesome game. Guess Horizon really got to me in that sense.
On the other hand, if Insomniac is ever up to the idea of pulling off such a game based on Spiderverse realms and cast... day friggin' one, even if they dump HALF the controls onto the rear touchpad. 😄
What about the Fantastic 4 announcement? What should we expect, a suit or new content? Marvel Games wrote it's coming soon, but nothing yet.
I mean, it's going to have Venom (maybe Carnage too) let's be honest. I don't care what they do, just more of the stuff that made the first so great.

@ThroughTheIris56 @PS_Nation @get2sammyb @WebHead @glassmusic Same here love R&C grew up with him as a child, along with Spider-Man.
Here's hoping they are indeed working on the next R&C AND Spider-Man.
God I hope so. More Spider-Man please.
