If you have played through Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you may be wondering exactly when the game takes place compared to the original game and Miles Morales. So, here’s everything you need to know about the timeline of the long-awaited sequel.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 lets you take control of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as they come up against some iconic villains and attempt to defend New York City.

There are a lot of familiar faces, and some new characters you can expect to meet during your web-swinging journey but some fans are curious about where exactly in the timeline the sequel takes place so we’ve got everything you need to know right here.

Here’s what we know about when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 takes place.

Venom plays a crucial role in the game.

When does Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 take place?

When speaking with Press Start, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s creative director Brian Intihar confirmed that the game’s events would occur roughly 10 months after those of the Miles Morales game. Intihar continued by saying that at this point, Peter and Miles make a fantastic duo.

When asked to elaborate on the timeline, Intihar said, “It’s about 10 months after the events of Miles Morales, so Miles has kind of gone through his journey to understand what kind of Spider-Man he wants to be and he and Peter are a great team. And that’s kind of where we kick things off at the beginning of this game.”

Given that the first Spider-Man game took place in 2018–19 and that Miles Morales’ story takes place in late 2020, the sequel is set in 2021, with a 10-month gap between it and its predecessor.
