Spider-Man 2 PS5: Every Leak & Rumour You Need To Know
11. Brooklyn And Queens Will Be Included
Sony Pictures
So, winter is a great change of setting for the sequel to have, but do you know what's even cooler? The fact that Spider-Man 2 may include Brooklyn and Queens as additional locations in the open world.
Before Spider-Man PS4 came around, pretty much everyone's favourite Spider-Man game was Treyarch's movie tie-in for 2004's Spider-Man 2. However, for my money's worth, the following year's Ultimate Spider-Man was definitely superior - one of the reasons why being that it expanded the previous game's hub-world of Manhattan and let players explore Queens as a teenage Peter Parker.
According to rumours, Insomniac's next Spider-Man game may even do one better.
The sequel will purportedly feature not just Queens as an expanded area of the open world, but also Captain America's old stomping grounds of Brooklyn. That would make it the biggest Spider-Man game ever made, and one sure to be packed full of Marvel-specific Easter eggs in both boroughs.
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.
