Spider-Man fans got some good news regarding the upcoming sequel. As we now know, we officially have a release date. So Peter Parker and Miles Morales swing back into action on 20th October. Therefore it adds another big release that month. Meaning our friendly neighborhood hero joins Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Alan Wake 2, and Alone in the Dark. However, we have more information on the new story. The deeper dive into the main story can be seen in this new trailer below.
So we see more of the impact of the well-known villain of Venom. Jon Paquette the Senior Narrative Director for Spider-Man 2 via a PlayStation Blog post offers a deeper look into the story. We find out more about the characters of Peter and Miles. We hear they are both
“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 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.”
