Summary Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will receive the huge 1.002 update on March 7, 2024, with many features fans have requested since the game's launch in October 2023. Insomniac's latest Spider-Man title was largely praised upon its release and has been nominated for and won several awards in the months that followed.
Despite this critical acclaim, players did find that after completing the game's 12-15 hour long story - and even getting 100% completion in roughly 24–28 hours - that there wasn't much to do in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Players could still swing or glide around the city as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales and could stop various crimes, but other than starting the game from scratch in a different save file, there was no way to revisit various story missions and side activities once the game had been completed.

As revealed on a PlayStation Blog post, this is changing on March 7th and is perhaps the most requested feature coming to the game. New Game Plus wasn't included in Marvel's Spider-Man at launch, but was added in a patch just over a month later. It was, however, included in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales at launch. Players will be able to replay the entire game with all of their suits and abilities carrying over following the New Game Plus update. Alternatively, Mission Select will let players dip into their favorite moments. The New Game Plus mode will also let players upgrade Peter and Miles to "Ultimate" levels and will come with new Golden Gadget styles.

Most of Peter and Miles' suits came with additional "suit styles". These were mainly color swaps, and while some were new designs, others could make suits resemble specific looks from the comics, such as the red and navy blue look for Peter's Classic suit, which brought it closer to the colors of Spider-Man's debut in Amazing Fantasy #15. Apart from the Classic Black Suit, which paid homage to the 90s Spider-Man animated series, the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, and the Anti-Venom suit in its Suit Styles, there were no variants for Peter's other symbiote suits, with the game's default Black suit, Symbiote suit, and Anti-Venom suit all appearing as they do in the main campaign. The 1.002 update will bring new suit styles for these, which can be unlocked via the New Game Plus' Ultimate Levels. Related Every Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Suit For Peter & Where It’s From Including its pre-order content and Digital Deluxe Edition, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 features 39 different suits for Peter Parker to wear. 3 Players Will Be Able To Change The Symbiote Tendrils' Color The Look Of The Symbiote Powers Will No Longer Be Locked To The Story As previously mentioned, Peter wears several different variations of the symbiote throughout Marvel's Spider-Man 2's story. Peter starts with Insomniac's take on the classic Black suit from the comics before it warps into the more angular, aggressive Symbiote suit which matches his appearance when using his Rage mode. Both of these suits come with a variety of black tendril attacks, but toward the end of the game, Martin Li will use his powers to create the white Anti-Venom suit for Peter, pulling from the parts of the symbiote left in Peter's body after he removed the suit. The Anti-Venom suit comes with some new tendril attacks that are particularly powerful when used against other symbiotes, and it also serves as a way for players to keep the symbiote abilities they spent a large portion of the game upgrading long after Peter separates himself from the Black suit. After finishing the story, however, players could swap back to wearing the Black suit, but these powers were locked to the white look of the Anti-Venom suit. This could be jarring at times, but fortunately, the new update will let players swap between the tendril colors to better match their chosen suits. 2:15 Related Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Ending & Credits Scenes Explained Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 depicts the difficulty in rebuffing both Kraven the Hunter and Venom, and the ending is both hopeful and heart-wrenching. 4 New Suits Are Coming To Marvel's Spider-Man On March 7 Peter And Miles' Hellfire Gala Suits Will Be Included In The Update Peter and Miles's suits from Marvel’s Hellfire Gala comic event are included in Marvel's Spider-Man 2's March 7 update at no additional cost. The Hellfire Gala is Krakoa's annual diplomatic event that sees mutants, celebrities, and other superheroes gather to take part in the election and debut of a new X-Men team. Peter sports the red and black design created by Russell Dauterman, and Miles' purple and red look is adapted from Bernard Chang’s Hellfire Gala variant cover for Miles Morales: Spider-Man #8. The "Fly N' Fresh" suits made in partnership with the Gameheads educational program will also be available on March 7, but this will be as a paid DLC pack, with PlayStation donating 100% of the purchase price in the United States - up to $1 million - to Gameheads. Insomniac has confirmed that this suit pack will be coming to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at no additional cost at a later date.

Highly requested features such as Audio Description and Screen Readers have been added to the game along with additional visual features like Cinematic Captions and High Contrast Outlines. The full list of Accessibility features can be found on Insomniac's website. Related 10 Things A Marvel's Spider-Man 2 DLC Must Include Spider-Man 2's story has been praised and tells a mostly complete narrative, but it does leave some loose ends, which it could tie up in story DLC. 6 Players Will Be Able To Change The Time Of Day Previously, This Could Only Be Done Via Glitches Changing the time of day was a feature that was available in the first two Marvel's Spider-Man games after completing each game, with players being able to do this from the Oscorp research stations in Marvel's Spider-Man, and via the Game tab in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales' menu settings. This feature was missing at launch in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and players were locked to daytime after completing the game unless they exploited glitches through the Mysterio challenges across the map. Some of Peter and Miles' suits - and Miles' bio-electric Venom abilities - can look extremely impressive when they glow at night, so the fact players couldn't see this outside of specific story moments was a disappointment, especially if they didn't unlock the suit until later in the game after these moments had passed. Fortunately, this feature has been added in the March 7 update, giving players better control over the game's world after completing the campaign. Related Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Took One Major Step Back From The First Two Games Spider-Man 2 is a huge improvement over its predecessors in many ways, but it can feel like the newest entry has taken a step back in one key area. 7 New Photo Mode Features Have Been Added Players Will Have More Control Over Their In-Game Photography The aforementioned time of day feature was highly demanded in part due to Marvel's Spider-Man 2's popular Photo Mode, as players have enjoyed capturing Peter and Miles in action in the previous games in the series. An October 19, 2023, PlayStation Blog post stated that the new action figure mode will let players reduce the size of characters to give the appearance of figures and place them anywhere in the world. With Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Insomniac introduced better lighting features, which were carried over to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but the March 7 update also introduces a new "action figure mode" as well as new stickers.
