Key Highlights:
- Approximately one hour of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gameplay has leaked online ahead of the October 20 release.
- The footage reportedly shows opening missions, in-game menus, the map, available suits and a previously unannounced enemy.
- The leak contains major story spoilers, with the game’s review embargo scheduled to lift on October 16.
Approximately one hour of gameplay from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has leaked online, revealing the opening missions of Insomniac Games’ PS5 exclusive before its October 20 release. The recording also exposes menus, the game’s map, unlockable suits and an enemy that has not yet been officially announced.
According to Insider Gaming, the footage was uploaded anonymously after being captured from a livestream. It reportedly follows the first few missions rather than showcasing isolated gameplay clips, making it particularly revealing for anyone hoping to experience the opening story without spoilers.
The recording also provides an early look at elements players would ordinarily discover through progression, including the interface and suit selection. While Insomniac has already demonstrated the game’s expanded New York City and confirmed numerous costume options, the leaked footage goes beyond what the developer has officially presented.
Most significantly, the recording reportedly features an enemy whose appearance had not been publicly announced. We won’t identify the character here, as doing so would undermine the spoiler warning.
What concerns me more than the leak itself is how much of the opening experience it exposes. A short combat clip can demonstrate a mechanic without revealing much of the story, but footage covering several consecutive missions risks giving away character introductions, narrative developments and encounters intended to surprise players.
The leak follows earlier reports of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s title screen appearing online, adding to the amount of unofficial material circulating before launch.
Reviews and other coverage are scheduled to appear when the media embargo lifts on Monday, October 16, four days ahead of release.
Spoiler warning: The original hour-long recording was shared at this external video link. It may contain major spoilers for the game’s opening missions and characters. Availability of the footage may change, and readers wishing to avoid spoilers should not open it.
