Some of the mechanics would need changing around to accommodate this, but that’s the sort of thing you want to see from a sequel anyway. The suit having these effects on him would be more than enough story justification for why Spider-Man has gotten more powerful and unlocked new abilities across the sequels, and the introduction of a second swinging arm could do for the sequel what the new range of tricks did for Miles Morales.

W ith the Symbiote Suit, Peter Parker becomes stronger, faster, and is usually seen swinging with two webs to show how the suit has given him newfound confidence (or just to look cool). They knew what they were hinting at with this suit. If that creature truly is a symbiote, you’ve got your way of Peter getting it right there. We’ve also already seen a symbiote-esque creature keeping Harry Osborne alive in both games’ end credits, so it’s likely to be a big part of the story at some point. It’s one of the only suits that isn’t in the game, which is definitely deliberate with all the winks to it. It’s not like Insomniac Games has been coy about the suit’s existence either. The only canonical thing that seems to achieve that is the Symbiote Suit. He’s had tons of suits, but we’ve already seen them and they don’t really do a lot to change his abilities. Off the top of my head, there aren’t really that many more changes that could be made to Peter Parker. As useful as they eventually become in the post-game, Peter’s gadgets are pretty boring and are immediately undermined by Miles’ venom powers and camouflage. One idea is to upgrade his array of gadgets, but this seems like a pretty boring approach - he already has more than Miles and still falls short. That was the past though, and with the character of Miles being so much more interesting to play as, the sequel needs to make some sort of change to Peter’s arsenal.

Even the Raimi films knew to hold off until the third entry. It’s a hugely important moment for his character across every medium that it has appeared in, so introducing it in the second game would feel a little rushed - you need momentum to properly deliver the immense weight of a good guy giving in to his bad side.

If he’s going to be the main playable character though, something needs to change and there’s really only one logical solution - the next Spider-Man game needs to give him the Symbiote Suit.īefore Miles Morales launched, I actually would have preferred if Marvel’s Spider-Man held off on giving Peter the Symbiote Suit in the sequel. After all, he is the original Spider-Man, and he has a lot of stories left to tell. Peter Parker should still be the focus of the next game in the series.
