Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 gets two new costumes inspired by Brand New Day and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Insomniac Games has released an update for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 adding two new player costumes tied to other Spider-Man media releases. The Fresh Start suit is inspired by the forthcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, while the second suit replicates the character's look from Arc System Works' Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a tag-team fighting game.
Beyond the cosmetic additions, the update brings Enhanced PSSR support to improve image upscaling quality and visual stability, along with a new power saver mode to cut electricity use during play. The timing lines up with Brand New Day's cinema release and Marvel Tokon's early August launch, giving players fresh reasons to revisit a game that sold 2.5 million copies within 24 hours of its 2023 debut and quickly passed 5 million overall.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a superhero action game developed by Insomniac Games, following on from a widely played predecessor. Since launch, its developers have periodically added new content, including alternate costumes for the main character, drawn from across Spider-Man's history in comics, film and other media.
This latest update ties two new in-game outfits to other Spider-Man projects due out soon: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, an upcoming film, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a new fighting game from developer Arc System Works. The update also brings technical improvements, including enhanced image-rendering technology and a power-saving option.
The move reflects a common practice in the games industry, where studios use costume crossovers and tie-in content to link separate media releases and keep an existing game's audience engaged, particularly around a period when several Spider-Man projects are reaching audiences at once.
