It’s been a long time coming, butSpider-Man 2’s New Game Plus mode has finally been given a release date of March 7 and will include new suits, as well as the ability to finally change the time of day.
Back when Spider-Man 2 launched in October of last year, fans quickly noticed that it was missing a few things that were included at launch in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.The big one was New Game Plus, which Insomniac then revealed it was working on and releasing at some point in 2023. That launch got delayed indefinitely towards the end of the year, but it’s finally been given a release date.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, a post was shared by Insomniac Games' community director, James Stevenson, that reveals that New Game Plus is coming to Spider-Man 2 on March 7. Beyond giving you the ability to play the game again with all of your abilities and suits unlocked from the start, it also comes with a ton of fan-requested features.
Those features include the ability to replay specific missions, unlock ultimate levels, golden gadget styles (which isveryRatchet & Clank), mess around with an action figure filter in photo mode, customise Peter’s symbiote suit with specific styles, and even set the colour of what your abilities are while using the symbiote as well.
Somehow, that’s not all that’s coming with the update. It also includes several new suits, such as the Hellfire Gala design for Peter and Miles. Those two suits are going to be free, but the New Game Plus update also adds in two costumes that have been designed by Insomniac, Marvel, and Gameheads and can be purchased for $4.99 between March 7 and April 5 before being released to all players for free.
PlayStation is donating $4.99 (100 percent of the purchase price) of the Fresh N' Fly Suit Pack in the US to Gameheads, potentially donating up to $1 million to the group.
Insomniac confirms that it isn’t going to start charging for every suit that’s added to the game post-launch and that this is simply being done for the opportunity to raise money for Gameheads. The suit pack also comes with some stickers and frames for use in photo mode, although they haven’t been shown off alongside the suits, so it’s not clear what they will be.
