The conclusion of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 leaves a trail of loose ends and unanswered questions for its inevitable sequel. It is crucial for Insomniac to uphold the integrity of the story and avoid altering significant decisions. The continuity of Marvel’s Spider-Man games and DLC must remain consistent.

Insomniac has explicitly positioned Peter Parker in a supporting role to Miles Morales, as he focuses on the Emily-May Foundation and strengthens his bond with Mary Jane Watson. While Cindy Moon’s Silk joins forces with Miles, the looming threats posed by Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius suggest that Peter's involvement is indispensable.

The Importance of NPC Companions in Future Games

Insomniac's innovative approach to integrating the other Spider-Man into random crimes enhances the immersive experience. However, certain elements, such as the lackluster car chase sequences, fall short. Including an intermittent NPC companion in future entries is essential to further enrich the gameplay.

It would be remiss if a feature like this is absent in Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 and subsequent entries. Therefore, finding a way to incorporate Peter as an NPC companion, despite his focus on personal obligations, becomes imperative.

Utilizing Peter Parker as an NPC in Marvel’s Spider-Man

In the absence of playable appearances, Peter's role as an NPC companion could effectively balance his personal and crime-fighting commitments. As the future of Marvel’s Spider-Man unfolds, the prospect of Peter resuming a playable role in subsequent games remains a possibility.

Given the significance of Peter's character and his decision to step back, his frequent NPC appearances during random crimes may seem contradictory. However, limiting his appearances and situating them in specific locations, such as Queens, where Peter and MJ reside, could provide a plausible compromise.
