Insomniac's sequel can't be ALL about Venom.

Insomniac's Spider-Man is almost a year old, but fans have been speculating the situation surrounding its inevitable, albeit unannounced sequel pretty much since it first released. The story included several huge revelations, and ultimately left Peter Parker in a remarkably different situation to where he was at the start of the game.

Naturally, although Insomniac's title was pretty phenomenal, there are a select few areas where it could improve. Innovation is part and parcel of the gaming medium, and as far as Spidey's concerned, there's still plenty of potential a sequel could tap within the next two years. Well, hopefully the next two years - any longer and it's likely web-heads everywhere will start trying to scale actual real-life buildings in a bid to recapture the feeling of the first title.

But enough of potential contingency scenarios regarding the delay of any sequel - what are the features that could take Marvel's Spider-Man to the next level?

Narratively there's already a lot to draw upon, but gameplay should take a focus in this particular instance. Fans want to see more content, more customisation, and ultimately more features to complement the already stunning experience offered by the first title.

How do you improve on near-perfection?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
