Marvel’s Spider-Man 2will have adjustable swing assist, allowing players to choose how much help they receive whilst swinging.
As revealed by Insomaniac’s community and marketing director, James Stevenson (viaMP1st), Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will have a “swing assist slider” so that players can receive less help when swinging through New York City. According to the developer, this feature isn’t an accessibility option since the game is automatically set to the highest level - instead, it actually makes the game more difficult for players who want a challenge.
“There are 10 levels of Swing Assistance on that slider,” Stevenson said in a reply to a since-deleted tweet, “The game starts at the default (from the previous games!) Level 10. So it’s a feature we let players turn down to get less assistance if they want.” This, along with the news thatthe Spidey sequel will have fall damage, proves thatInsomniacis eager for players to put both Peter Parker and Miles Morales through their paces this time around.
If you are curious about the upcoming game’s accessibility options, it’s previously been revealed thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2 will let you slow down combat for better accessibility. On the other hand, there will also be other ways to make things more challenging for players asMarvel’s Spider-Man 2 has custom difficulty settings to fine-tune combat and stealth separately.
Insomniac has shared lots of interesting insights ahead of release. For example, we now know that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s side quests are well worth a go asthere are “some really cool surprises” in the game’s side content. As well as this, the developer has revealed thatthere won’t be any in-game rewards for importing completed save filesfrom Marvel’s Spider-Man or Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
