A lot of AAA games handle their New Game+/postgames differently, and a few don’t even have them (I know!). Let’s break down what happens after you roll credits onSpider-Man 2, and what you can do afterward.
After beating Spider-Man 2, you’ll unlock Ultimate Difficulty, and can continue your current file
Directly after watching all three credit/post-credit scenes inSpider-Man 2, you’ll pop right back into New York with your prior save file. A prompt will inform you of the following:
“You have finished the main story, but both Peter and Miles are still available to continue the adventure. You can now start a fresh adventure with Ultimate Difficulty. Good luck, Hero!”
As you can see, beating the game results in two options: you can continue this current save file and go for a 100% completion rating, or you can kick off a completely new save file on the Ultimate Difficulty setting. You’ll have to use everything you’ve learned so far to actually make any progress, since enemies hita lot harder.
So where is New Game+ in Spider-Man 2?
As confirmed by Insomniac director James Stevenson, New Game+ will be coming as part of a post-launch update, and will not be in the game on day one.
