With Spider-Man 2 a little over a month away from swinging into stores, we have some new screenshots (via GameFragger.com) which reveal just how spectacular New York City will look in the video game sequel. 

Spider-Man: Miles Morales looked amazing when it launched alongside the PlayStation 5, but this feels like a title that's going to fully take advantage of the current generation of consoles. Honestly, we'd say it has the potential to be the best-looking PS5 game to date. 

However, as accurate as New York will look, one iconic landmark is going to be absent.

This isn't overly surprising after playing Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but it's been confirmed the Chrysler Building is not going to be part of the city's breathtaking skyline. That's due to licensing issues and what we're assuming is the amount of money the building's owners wanted for it to be included in the game.  

Of course, the lack of one building is easy to get over given how much larger the map will now be. Spider-Man 2 creative director Brian Intihar previously said, "We've added Queens and Brooklyn to the map, which makes it roughly twice the size of our previous work."

"These two neighbourhoods are a bit smaller and more residential, so they have a different charm than Manhattan. We have prepared some unexpected situations that we have never seen before, such as battles using the river that runs between the neighbourhoods, so please look forward to them."

Take a closer look at these Spider-Man 2 screenshots below.

"Spider-Men Peter Parker and Miles Morales face the ultimate test of strength inside and outside the mask as they fight to save the city, each other, and the ones they love," reads the game's synopsis, "from the monstrous Venom and the dangerous new symbiote threat."

"Explore an expansive Marvel's New York with faster web-swinging and the all-new Web Wings, quickly switching between Peter and Miles to experience different stories, epic new abilities and high-tech gear."

"Wield Peter's symbiote abilities and Miles' explosive bio-electric powers in battle against new and iconic Marvel Super Villains," it continues, "including an original take on a symbiote-infused Venom, the ruthless Kraven the Hunter, the volatile Lizard, and more from the Marvel Rogues' Gallery."

Spider-Man 2 swings into stores on October 20.

I hope this is clarified. Because it was in the first game. It's understandable why it wasn't in miles morales since it was a smaller game focused on Brooklyn, but I can't imagine what the price issue could be if it worked out well for the first game no problem.

Maybe they upped the price? But by how much, considering this is a landmark game on the leading main console on the market.

@Origame - It was sold to some ultra rich real-estate tycoon between the first game and Miles Morales. And they couldn't reach an agreement with him. Says so in the linked tweet

Eh, as a New Yorker, no one talks about the Chrysler Building much anyway. Don't even know what street it's on, and I live in Manhattan.

What a stupid ass world we're living in where a [frick]ing building can be copyrighted. It's just a matter of time before people have to pay for the air they breathe.

Assuming the WTC won't be in it either since they had it removed in a patch to the first game after the same issue popped up

Probably the most beautiful skyscraper in NY. For me it always will be Kingpin's lair from Spider-Man: TAS
