io9 sat down with Insomniac’s Ben Arfmann and Lauren Mee to talk about Spider-Man 2

Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man 2, which comes to PlayStation 5 on October 20 .

The Narrative Director Ben Arfmann and Writer Lauren Mee spoke to io9 about the development of the new game.

The two playable Spider-Men were happy to provide a few teases, as well as a ton of insight into the development.

Spider-Man: No Way Home had three Spider-Men in the game.

Insomniac: Across the Spider-Verse has a single story with both of them and they’re both playable.

The idea of there being more than one Spider-Person has become that much more prevalent in the mainstream in recent years .

Arfmann: "We were really focused on telling stories about our two Spider-Men in the world that they live in and the drama that exists there" There are some really big moments that I’m so excited for people to get to experience, he says.

The man under the mask is as important, if not more important, than the mask.
