New details get revealed after the announcement of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 story trailer featuring the timeline of the game’s narrative.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Story Timeline Revealed
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 story trailer recently dropped online giving fans a preview of what is happening in the upcoming video game sequel. Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment also released new details about the new PS5 console Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Limited Edition Bundle and other accessories.
The post that revealed the story trailer did share some interesting tidbits on the sequel’s story. One of which was the timeline of the story, which it revealed to be around nine months after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales. Senior Narrative Director Jon Paquette explains it further by setting the scene:
“At the beginning of our story, our Spider-Men are at the top of their game, but both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are struggling with their personal lives. Miles is trying to find time to write his college entrance essay, but he keeps procrastinating and focusing on Spider-Work instead. Meanwhile, Peter is underwater on payments for Aunt May’s house, but he can’t sell it; it means too much to him. And just like Miles, Peter tries (and fails) to find balance with so many responsibilities. MJ wants to help Pete with the mortgage, but her job is on the line now that J. Jonah Jameson is back at the Bugle and looking to clean house. Our heroes have arrived at a confluence of crossroads, with uncertain futures and some tough decisions ahead.”
Based on the post, the lives of the heroes and the people who are involved are quite in a pickle and this new power is just the most tempting crutch that Peter finds in this situation. Speaking of symbiote, the trailer has also revealed who Venom is in the game.
The Man Behind the Venom Mask
Just like previous speculations revealed, the Venom in this Spider-Man Earth is none other than Peter Parker’s best friend, Harry Osborn. It was already set up in the first game at the end which showed him getting attached by the symbiote himself for healing his sickly body.
More details will be revealed when the game comes out on October 20, 2023 exclusively on PS5.
