While some players have already expressed concern about the reported time it takes to achieveMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Platinum Trophy, the game is said to be bigger and more expansive than the previous entries.

According to a tweet by ChrisGaming95, New Game Plus might not be available on day one. ChrisGaming95 was able to finishMarvel’s Spider-Man 2via an early copy and even achieve the Platinum Trophy quickly. However, there was no option for New Game Plus upon doing the task. ChrisGaming95 also mentioned that they were able to finish the game in around 30 hours. While it is far from a completely hype-killing discovery, many games nowadays include the option, as many fans like experiencing their games a second time with their accomplishments and character builds intact.
With tons of new experiences andimprovements offered inSpider-Man 2, it doesn’t make much sense for it not to have a New Game Plus option. And while there is a possibility Insomniac can still add this feature post-launch, as games likeGod of War Ragnarokhave done, the perceived shortness of the game has players worried that a second run-through might not be worth it if they can’t keep the skills and unlocks they’ve earned. Still, ChrisGaming95’s experience may be different from most, and the game might offer more longevity than originally implied. Additionally, there is a chance that the day one patch adds new game plus.
Insomniac has neither confirmed nor denied if New Game Plus will arrive in the game, so fans will have to wait for the team’s official announcement. Either way, since the game serves as asequel to bothMarvel’s Spider-Man 1andSpider-Man: Miles Morales, those who feel the need to satisfy their web-swinging urges once they finishSpider-Man 2can revisit the older games to compare and recap the story.
