Bryan Intihar, senior creative director at Insomniac Games, discussed some of the difficulties in creating Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and how to make the game “worthy” of its lead characters. According to Intihar, the name of the game wasn’t just a straightforward sequel title; rather, it related to the nature of the plot given that there are now two Spider-Men in New York City. They required an obstacle that would strain both of them. “I believe what we wanted was a tale with foes that were deserving of needing two Spider-Men to rescue the day, which is why we brought in Tony Todd and saw Venom. Additionally, as you can see from our cast, which includes Kraven, Lizard, and others, they’re pushing our heroes to the limit in ways they’ve never been pushed before, both physically and mentally, he said.

The city’s expansion from the previous titles was another factor that served as inspiration for the “2” in the title. “Then you just take a look at the scope of the game, with Queens and Brooklyn tripling the size of the city, the addition of new traversal skills with the Web Wings, and then just the entire role that the symbiote plays in both gameplay and the plot. We knew we had to earn the label “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” when we stated it, and I believe that was the trip we intended to take, according to Intihar.

While participating in the interview, voice actors Yuri Lowenthal and Nadji Jeter briefly discussed the characteristics of their roles and the difficulties they faced. Miles is doing a good job of “growing” into the character, but he is also being influenced by everything that is going on in his environment. Although he still has much to learn, he is eager to meet the difficulties. Peter Parker is attempting to preserve his Aunt May’s memory while still protecting his city and loved ones. The home will be a crucial part of Peter’s journey since he wants to maintain it in order to preserve his memories of May, but doing so is making him much more broke than before and straining his relationship with Mary Jane. Before the Venom symbiote shows up, all of that takes happened, pushing Peter to areas he has never been in this reality.
