‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2′ will be the series’ ‘The Empire Strikes Back’
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be “darker” in tone, according to Marvel Games’ vice president of creative Bill Rosemann.“If the first Spider-Man game was Star Wars, Spider-Man 2 is kind of our Empire [Strikes Back],” Rosemann said on the podcast This Week in Marvel (as spotted by Eurogamer). “It gets a little darker.”A darker tone would however put this sequel on par with the bleak realistic tone that shapes some of PlayStation’s more recent releases, such as The Last Of Us, God Of War, and Ghost Of Tsushima.The first Spider-Man felt like a more colourful and vibrant contrast, similar to Insomniac Games‘ Ratchet & Clank series, although the studio is also working on a Wolverine title, which also hints at a shift into darker territory.
