New York City’s popular Coney Island is the new location all set to arrive in the title. Moreover, that’s the place where Spider-Man fought and defeated the Vulture during the climax of 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Here’s what the developers said about the new expansion, “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.” 

This new location is also likely to introduce various new objectives, missions, and secrets within the area. However, Insomniac has yet to disclose the exact purpose of Coney Island’s introduction in the game. Fans could expect some announcements by the developers in the coming months.
