Insomniac Games has revealed some accessibility features coming to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 including the ability to slow down gameplay.
As spotted by Angie on ResetEra, Spider-Man 2’s PlayStation Store page has been updated to include a questions and answers segment which has its own paragraph on accessibility.
“Insomniac Games has devised a range of new and in-depth accessibility features to create a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 experience without barriers,” it reads. “Building on the accessibility improvements in previous titles, these features allow the game to be enjoyed by more players of different abilities.”
The ability to slow down gameplay, seemingly at the touch of a button, is perhaps the biggest addition. Players can choose to “slow down the action” to 70% speed, 50% speed, or as much as 30% speed, and can switch back to regular settings at any time.
This feature was included in Insomniac’s own Ratcher & Clank: Rift Apart, which was praised for its sweeping accessibility options.
The other features mentioned include screen reader support, which will read aloud all on-screen text in menus, and on-screen captions and audio descriptions for cinematic scenes.
These accessibility features will seemingly join those already featured in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which includes a wealth of options to allow as many players as possible to enjoy the open world adventure.
The full list of features will likely be announced closer to Spider-Man 2’s launch on October 20, though Insomniac is revealing more and more about the game after saying virtually nothing for a year after its reveal.
Insomniac announced a limited edition PlayStation 5 alongside a new trailer in July, revealed a chunky collector’s edition back in June, and even released new gameplay, bizarrely, in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
