Marvel’s Spider-Man 2will have combat accessibility features, including the ability to slow time during fights.
New details have been revealed for Insomniac Games' upcomingSpider-Mansequel on theofficial PlayStation website, where it lists a collection of featured accessibility options (viaGamesRadar).
One of the most notable is the ability to slow down the action during fights to 70%, 50%, or 30% of the full speed, and switch back to regular speed at any time - a brand-new feature that wasn’t included in the previous titles. It will also be useful during fast-paced action moments, allowing users to view enemies and encounters differently and plan their attacks beforehand.
Additionally, players will also be able to enable a screenreader option which will read on-screen text aloud, including in menus, as well as on-screen captions and audio descriptions for cinematic scenes.
BothSpider-Man RemasteredandSpider-Man Miles Moralesfeatured extensive accessibility options, so it isn’t a surprise that Insomniac has curated a selection forSpider-Man 2as well, but with additional options this time.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is set to launch on October 20 forPS5. Unlike previous entries in the series, the game will be skipping last-gen consoles, includingPS4andPS4 Pro. It’s unconfirmed right now if the game will be heading toPClike the firstSpider-Man, but it’s a possibility down the road.
The sequel will feature interchangeable playable characters Peter Parker and Miles Morales in an expanded New York setting, and introduce the comic book villain Venom. The gameplay trailer - which debuted duringE3 2023’s replacement, Summer Game Fest - showcased Peter wearing the symbiote suit. Villains like Venom and Kraven the Hunter will also make their first appearance in the series, while characters like Mary Jane Watson will make a return.
