Picking up 10 months afterSpider-Man: Miles Morales,Marvel’s Spider-Man 2puts players in control of both Miles and Peter Paker as they continue their mission to protect New York City from various criminals and super-villains, and confront their personal demons and the pressures of everyday life along the way.Spider-Man 2’s refined web-swingingand combat and darker, more emotional plot have proven to be a successful combination, as the game sold over 2.5 million units within its first day on the market.

Spider-Man 2’s high-flying momentum isn’t slowing down either, as developer Insomniac recently provided fans with an updated sales number on Twitter.

Insomniac also thanked its fans for their continued support and for helpingSpider-Man 2reach this impressive sales milestone.
Spider-Man 2’s overwhelmingly positive reception and continuing financial success bode well for the future of Insomniac’s growing Marvel gaming universe, with the developer already teasing a third mainlineSpider-Mangame and a possible spin-off title centered around Venom. Fans have already started to theorize thatSpider-Man 2could have post-launch story DLCin the vein of the first game’sCity That Never Sleepsexpansions, with some possible guest appearances from Daredevil and The Hand.
