Update: Here it is! The official version of the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 story trailer, in all of its 4K glory. Like we said previously, this is a breathtaking trailer that’s sure to have you hyped by its conclusion.
Original Story: Insomniac Games anchored its highly anticipated Comic-Con panel moments ago with a jaw-dropping story trailer for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. While we’re still awaiting the official 4K upload from PlayStation, there are some potato cam bootleg recordings beginning to emerge around social media – and it looks incredible.
The trailer starts with Peter Parker chatting with his friend Harry Osborn. Obviously, fans will know he was terminally ill in the first game, but here he speaks of getting “another chance”. Later on, we see Parker introducing Osborn to Miles Morales and Mary-Jane Watson at some kind of carnival, before the trailer takes a darker turn, showing Kraven the Hunter and finally Venom.
It’s one helluva clip, packed with beautiful sweeping scenery and the kind of insanely high-budget cinematics you’ve come to expect from a first-party PlayStation exclusive. Additional footage, screenshots, and information are likely to emerge in the aftermath of the panel, and we’ll update as soon as we know more.

Seems like Harry is for sure Venom.
C'mon, Sony. Upload the 4K trailer!
Looks awesome! Can’t wait!
@IamJT yup that line venom says pretty much confirms it
Looked like Peter is gonna hurt or kill a lot of people at one point in the trailer, dark tone for sure.
Updated with 4K trailer.
Awesome trailer! Can't wait.
Amazing, looks spectacular!
How Tony Todd has never voiced Venom before I don't know, imagine his voice coming out of the Duelsense when Peter has the symbiote?
This look way better than the showcase trailer.
Yep yep yep this looks real good. Sure, they aren’t the most innovative games but they’re very fun. Can’t wait to use the black suit again, I wasted so many hours in SM3 on PS2.
Yeah I'm probably gonna cry playing this.
That was one heck of a trailer. With that being said I hardly gonna pick this one up for launch. While spidey 2 it's probably gonna be one hell of a ride, it's not reinventing the wheel and personaly money is quite tight (of course that is another big factor). Also don't feel like falling for FOMO effect this time around. When the time comes I will play and sure will enjoy it
So cant wait until October 20th!
Excitement level is at 2,000%
Those faces are bad and somewhat away from the comic counterparts? Or it is just me?
@belmont
Just you, I think!
Sorry!
@StrawberryTurtle agree looks like the story going epic and emotional
I see Insomniac’s entire art department is firing on all cylinders. Wow!
Should probably get around to beating Miles Morales, then, wow
@KaijuKaiser I get that but thise characters are iconic and those designs seem different not only with how they are depicted in comics but also different from the first Spider Man game? I may be mistaken but the face models seem changed to me
Haven't been hyped so far, but this trailer has got the train moving.
@belmont I don’t think they’re trying to look like the comics to be fair. I get the impression Insomiac wants this to be their own spin on the character/series.
Even though I was pretty underhelmed with the first....will be buying this day 1
Is it me or does the Harry Osborn model look just like the original Peter Parker model from the first game?
Man this games looking real good. REALLY GOOD. Can't wait!
@get2sammyb I get what they try to do and I didn't want go sound negative, it's just I would personally prefer if the character faces, especially Peter and MJ, were more comic accurate.
Just so happens to come out on my birthday.
I played a lot of the first one and Miles Morales spin-off, and this seems awesome but more of the same. I'll definitely buy it, however not at launch period.
To be honest, I still need to get Tears of the Kingdom and FFXVI. So many great games this year!
@belmont Out of curiosity, whose designs do you like? There’s a lot of variation in the comics, from Ditko to Romita Sr. to McFarlane to Romita Jr. and a multitude of others.
Is Harry the kid from The Good Wife? Looks and sounds just like him.
(poor Scott Porter, guy’s always been unlucky with roles like this)
The trailer started out just okay, but by the end I was thinking “hmmm… maybe day 1”
Looks good. If I didn't already pre-order Alan Wake II, Spider-Man 2 would have been my October game purchase.
I'll put it on my Christmas list.
I avoid all trailers and news about this game. Wanna go ok fresh. Read these comments and that it!
Whoa, just watched the 4k version. Epic trailer, very hyped.
@Khayl Same here. XD
This looks dope I really the music..
I don’t know why they decided to change the face models of Peter and now MJ, while they kept Miles’ face model the same? The original PS4 face models were a lot better. I am now less hyped for this game tbh. The unnecessary decisions they’re making doesn’t fill me with confidence.
This looks great in fairness, and I actually think the depiction of Kraven is really solid.
If anyone is into the comics, I'd highly recommend "Kraven's Last Hunt" - which is fairly dark in tone for Spiderman. A fantastic graphic novel, and does well to raise up Kraven as one of the biggest threats out there...
A part of me is tempted to watch the trailer just based on the feedback, but at the same time I don't really need to as I've had this pre-ordered since the day it went up on PlayStation Direct.
Can’t wait. Roll on October
I hope we can play as venom and eating criminals, that would be cool as heck 😃
Seriously? The graphics are horrendous in cutscenes. Thats like 2014 level ps4 graphics.
I seem to be one of the few that really didn’t like Spider-Man. The combat reminds me of a hyped up Assassins Creed and that’s definitely not a good thing, to me.
@get2sammyb That may be, but I almost(if not totally) forgot this is supposed to be a game when I saw the trailer and it felt like a movie trailer. And I'm dead serious.
@Arnna I'm with you. I'll probably play these games through when they hit PS+ one day. And I've been a Spiderman fan since I grew up with the comics in the 70's and 80's. The games just don't click with me.
Also, the game is getting awfully crowded, there are so many (presumably) playable characters now. I guess the female spider will be introduced in the 3rd installment...
@BeenGamingSince_83 I remember enjoying the ‘Maximum Carnage’ series of comic books when I was a young one. I enjoyed the giant cast of characters in that series.
With the games, I think I’ve been spoiled by the combat in FROMSOFT and Team Ninja games, so when I see this kind of loose, button mashy combat I’m immediately turned off.
@KingSimba Insomniac will change Miles' face in the next one 🤣
Are we going to get an update to the original now with MJ's new face?
@durxll123 i would have loved to live in your 2014.
I got chills This will be an amazing game! Just like the first one!
They are showing Venom and Kraven quite abit but would i be wrong in thinking they are not the main Villain.
Not going to watch it as i'm already sold and want to go in as blind as possible. Super excited for this one.
Cannot wait for this. Looks absolutely incredible. Please make Venom playable!
@Amnesiac I have not a particular favourite and unfortunately I don't know most creators. From those I know I like thise of both Romitas
I'm SO ready!! Can't wait.
Ignoring all trailers as I know this is a Day 1 purchase.
Is there a 60fps mode?I know the other games had them but is it confirmed for 2?
This game will be a huge hit in this mammoth gaming year!! It's hard to keep up with so many great releases!!
This might just be the best Venom design ever he looks incredible plus he's being voiced by friggen Candyman I really hope they let us play as him it probably won't happen but one can dream right 😅
@ROTTIEMAN16 I don't think they've detailed anything like that yet, but it's Insomniac so it almost certainly will have options.
Honestly this looks different class. If this doesn't cement Insomniac's status as Playstation's premier studio, i don't know what will!
@IamJT or Peter!!!
What's a 'StarField' again? 😂
This honestly looks incredible and will rival Hogwarts Legacy for GOTY. Already pre-ordered for day 1.
That looks awesome! Gonna be a fun ride to the platinum trophy!!
So Venom is Harry then. Oh dear, that’s disappointing.
Definitely gonna be playing as Venom at some point in this aren't we?
It looks very very good but nothing jaw dropping, I hardly can see any gameplay footage in this trailer, looked like scripted cinematic scenes to me.
All I want to know is if MJ missions are back <3
@NinjaNicky True. The difference is the length/scope of the game. It's less of a problem for shorter linear games to have similar sequels than it is for huge open-world games.
Can't wait for the cheesy, evil dance mini game.
@Arnna
I always felt like it seemed to take inspiration from the Arkham games more than Assassin’s creed.
AC has always had sloppy combat. Spider-Man felt pretty tight. Not as tight as Arkham but it did give me an Arkham impression.
@OrtadragoonX The 3 most recent AC games had much tighter combat. The pre-Origins games can be very clunky to play now.
Also Venom’s model is absolutely amazing.
@theSpectre
Yeah that’s true. I did notice the combat loop was much tighter in Origins and Odyssey than it was in AC3 (which was the last AC game I played before those two, although I never finished Odyssey).
@RudeAnimat0r
God I hope not. Absolutely worst part of the first game.
@Sekijo
As much as I love Eddie Brock and I consider him the definitive Venom, I’m glad Insomniac is taking a different route. They would have needed to have set up Peter and Brock’s rivalry in the first game. Since they didn’t do that, it wouldn’t make any sense to have Brock as Venom in the second game.
I’m very interested to see how they go with Harry Osborne as Venom.
@Jireland92
Why?
Plenty of people have been Venom in the comics. Even Kraven was Venom in the comics for a small amount of time.
I still wish they could have included the Punisher as a “wild card” character in the game.
The Punisher made his debut in Spider-Man back in 1974 I think. It would have been fitting to have included him in this game as a character that plays the wild card role that both Peter/Miles and Kraven both fear for different reasons.
Peter fears him for his unpredictability and his willingness to kill, but does appreciate his assistance. Especially when he gets the symbiote suit and begins to really understand why Frank feels the way he does. Kraven fears him because he knows Frank Castle’s past and what he will do to him if he isn’t careful. Kraven could then try to play Peter against Frank. With Miles caught in the middle.
can't stand miles morales so skipped last game. still deciding if i can stomach him for this one
@GADG3Tx87 starfield looks way better than this my dude
@Batsugun887 @Reptilio
I disagree with both of you. StarField looks very bland and boring to me. Since Oblivion and Fallout 3 Bethesda games have been declining imo. Spider-Man looks far more enjoyable.
And @Batsugun887 with all due respect you don't know what I own or my financial situation to make such assumptions and insults based on a video game. Sounds like I touched a nerve. Saved up for Halo and DMC? then I'm likely older than you at 35 with a comfortable financial situation to afford any game at full price anytime. And I grew up with the NES fwi.
StarField doesn't stand a chance at GotY against a name and system seller like Spider-Man. The name alone will carry it and it looks great.
Precursor, this is a day one buy for me but their human models are really kind of weird, can't put my finger on it, but some real uncanny valley stuff going on here. I can't wait to play it, though.
Wow! bye call of duty! You buy a Playstation for these kinds of games, right? Like a real gamer.
@OrtadragoonX yeah and they all sucked. Eddie is the only Venom that’s even remotely interesting. Maybe they can do something interesting with Harry, but it’s 2 we’re not getting a good adaptation of Eddie in videogame form.
Starfield….. hold my beer
@Reptilio it REALLY doesn’t lol
