One minute of high-octane spidey action, the gameplay trailer that was published on YouTube by PlayStation on August 13th, 2018. This is the final push of excitement the community can expect before launch.
According to the Spider-Man (2018 Video Game) Wiki, claims that the story won’t be tied to existing comic books, video games or movies. This is a new take on the classic hero. However, classic characters like Mary Jane, Aunt Mary, and other characters from the Marvel Universe will all make an appearance. Both the Peter Parker and the Spider-Man character will be examined throughout the game, giving gamers a complete look into the life of the superhero and the person behind the mask.
A graduate from college at this point, Parker has already been a superhero for eight years. He accepted the role as protector of New York City. Then, after a criminal gang starts causing some serious trouble, parkers world is turned upside down. Familiar, unfriendly faces begin to emerge and it’s the job of Spider-Man to restore order. He is tasked with taking down the villains that are hell-bent on causing destruction and spreading evil.
After the initial release, gamers can expect to see a DLC named “City That Never Sleeps”. It includes three chapters that each include additional missions, more characters from the Spider-Man universe, and additional suits for Spider-Man. If people pre-order before September 7th, 2018, they will also get all Pre-Order Bonus Content and a custom physical pin.
From all the gameplay, cinematics, trailers, and content being shared with the video game community, it doesn’t seem as though Insomniac Games is shy about what lies within Marvel’s Spider-Man.
