Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a little over a month away, and fans of the webhead are eager to swing through the streets of New York City with Peter Parker and Miles Morales once again.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 looks to give fans more of what they loved, while throwing in new abilities to use, additional villains to fight, and more boroughs of New York to explore.
In keeping with gaming tradition, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has some incentives for gamers who just can't wait to get their hands on the sequel. For those looking to get Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on day one, a number of pre-order bonuses are being offered for their passionate support of the game. Pre-order bonuses can sometimes be hit or miss depending on how much effort a company puts into them, but Insomniac Games and Sony seem to have put some genuine thought into giving players a worthwhile reward. While it's unlikely Marvel's Spider-Man 2 would have trouble getting attention without them, its pre-order bonuses only add to the excitement.
Early Unlock Suits For Peter & Miles
- Peter's "Arachknight" Suit (with three color variants) early unlock.
- Miles' "Shadow-Spider" Suit (with three color variants) early unlock.
One of the standout features of Marvel's Spider-Man and Miles Morales was the long list of suits players could choose from. Insomniac dug deep into Spider-Man lore for many of these suits, with the Spirit Spider, Secret War, and Last Stand suits making up just a few of them in the first game. These customizations were well-crafted and oftentimes fun to unlock, making for a fun goal for completionists who wanted to see each one. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is continuing that tradition with new Spider suits to choose from, and one of the game's pre-order bonuses will make it easier to get some of them right away.
If players pre-order any edition of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, they will receive two early unlock suits, one for Peter Parker and one for Miles Morales. Peter will get the Arachknight suit, which appeared in the Infinity Wars comic run as an amalgamation of Spider-Man and Moon Knight. Miles gets the Shadow-Spider suit, which bears some resemblance to Peter's Arachknight suit with its hooded design.
Gamers who pre-order will also get three colorway variants of each suit right away, so they may customize to their heart's content. It's important to point out that the language behind this pre-order suggests these suits are still available in the base game despite whether players pre-order or not, but it's nonetheless a worthwhile bonus for those who want the suits right away.
Web Grabber Gadget and Bonus Skill Points
- Web Grabber Gadget.
- Three skill points.
Fans who pre-order will also receive some valuable upgrades in addition to their readily available Spider-Man skins. Just as the Arachknight and Shadow-Spider suits will be made available early, so too will the Web Grabber gadget. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has already shown of several new abilities, including Peter Parker's new powers with the Venom symbiote. Having this gadget in either Peter or Miles' arsenal in the early parts of the game will likely prove very useful. Insomniac and Sony are also offering three bonus skill points for players to upgrade their web-slinging heroes as they take on Kraven, Venom, and the Lizard.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has been one of the most anticipated games for the PS5 since it was first revealed. Insomniac handled its protagonists beautifully with its first two entries, and now that Spider-Man has reached even more astronomical heights thanks to films like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, many fans can't wait to immerse themselves in the bustling streets of New York City once again. For fans who have been counting down the days ever since Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was made official, the game's pre-order bonuses should make release day that much sweeter.
