Summary
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has gotten a new update, and among many improvements, the fan-favorite original Tobey Maguire costume received a small but significant and most-requested change. With over 60 years of history behind the character, hardcoreSpider-Man fans are very particular about suits, and while the update may feel minor, it’s a big deal for many hardcore fans.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has been a big hit for Insomniac, Sony, and the PS5 since its release back in October 2023, with many hailing it as a masterpiece of the superhero action genre. Even though most fans have already gotten through its main story, updates have been released since launch. In fact, another way to play the game has been added in the latest update.
The Big Change For the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man Suit
The particular changeSpider-Man 2players have been asking for and Insomniac has granted is the Tobey Maguire suit being even more movie-accurate when it comes to its colors. Named the “Webbed Suit” in the game, while the look definitely evoked the striking metallic aesthetic of the originalSpider-Manmovie trilogy’s costume design, its reds and blues apparently weren’t as close as possible for some fans. This newest update for the game fixes that now.
In addition to this change, thenewSpider-Man 2update also finally delivers the New Game Plus modesome players have been requesting. This mode also provides some never-before-seen suits in the game while ramping up the difficulty by increasing the characters' stat caps in the new Ultimate Levels. Along with other introductions, the New Game Plus mode also unlocks a new trophy, which should entice hardcore trophy hunters.
Thenew suits in theSpider-Man 2New Game Plus updateinclude Peter Parker and Miles Morales’s Hellfire Gala costumes, which are formal-themed designs meant to match the big comic-universe event. There are also special charity suits designed in partnership with Gameheads, a nonprofit that seeks to help underprivileged youth and youth of color break barriers in the tech and gaming industry. The charity skins are available for $4.99, and the full proceeds from each sale will go straight to Gameheads and its initiatives.
Meanwhile, there’s no concrete word yet on when new story content will be dropping for the game, so New Game Plus is currently the only solution to get more mileage from it. Gamers who don’t have a PS5 may have to wait a little longer as well, becauseSpider-Man 2is estimated to get its PC port in 2025. A half-sequel (likeSpider-Man: Miles Morales) is rumored to be in development, but nothing’s final until it’s officially announced.
