It’s been almost two years since Insomniac revealed the first glimpse of their Spider-Man PlayStation 4 game. They revealed Mister Negative as one of the game’s primary villains at E3 2017 and teased a role for Miles Morales alongside Peter Parker. The next E3 is still a few months off, but Game Informer has an early look at the new Spider-Man title, along with a fresh trailer which demonstrates several components of the gameplay.
At first glance, the new Spider-Man looks like an updated version of the previous Spider-Man games for the PlayStation 2 and 3. However, the speed of Spidey’s movement through the city and the fluidity of his motion are breathtaking. As the developers note in the video, this is a Spider-Man who is at the peak of his skills, and his confidence shines through his every in-costume moment. The developers also demonstrated a few of Spidey’s combat options, which includes swapping between melee, web, and gadget attacks on the fly.
While a more complete preview will likely follow at this year’s E3, Spider-Man is getting a full month of coverage at Game Informer, including a cover by Alex Ross. Game Informer tweeted out the first look at the image:
