While developer Insomniac Games has only just begun revealing details of what players can expect post-launch, mission replay is high on the list for some.

After all, with over 30 main missions to devour as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the story that sees the two Spider-Men go up against Kraven the Hunter and Venom is not one to miss.

Unfortunately, there is no official way to replay missions in Spider-Man 2 as of October 2023.

The only way to replay a mission is to load up a previous save or start a new save file altogether.

Thankfully, the main story can be beaten in around 15 to 18 hours, so it's not the longest of campaigns when compared to the average video game.

A new update is expected in the future that will add the functionality to replay any of the big story moments and more, though.

What have the developers said about Spider-Man 2 mission replay?

Insomniac Games community director James Stevenson responded to a question regarding post-launch content (via X, formerly Twitter), where the topic of mission replay was brought up.

"No - we’re working on an update for those features but they won’t be in Day 1," wrote Stevenson regarding whether mission replay will be available in Spider-Man 2 at launch.

How long it will be until this update rolls out is hard to say, but we'd like to think mission replay will be available in the next month or so.

Something that further helps to credit this thinking is that Stevenson later commented that the studio is hoping to add New Game Plus "before end of [the] year", so we'd like to hope mission replay would be included, too.

Again, that's purely speculation, but it feels like a safe guess at this moment.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is available exclusively on PlayStation 5. Head to Amazon to pick up a copy and start saving New York.

In fact, more than 2.5 million players have already got in on the action, according to Sony - with that record sales number achieved within the first 24 hours of release. Don't forget to install the day one patch either.
