When the original Spider-Man returns, Kraven doesn’t put up a fight, as in his mind, he’s proven he’s the ultimate hunter. Kraven then steals the black suit and becomes a new version of Spider-Man, defeating a villain known as Vermin that Peter Parker needed help from Captain America to beat. During the story, Kraven manages to defeat Spider-Man, who was using the symbiote black suit at the time. Insomniac has years of storyline and history to pull from, with Kraven’s crowning glory coming during a 1987 storyline referred to as Kraven’s Last Hunt. It’s entirely within the character for Kraven to directly challenge Spider-Man, or even Venom, to a one-on-one instead of skulking in the shadows.

He even typically operates with a code of honor, preferring to hunt or fight his prey at the peak of their abilities instead of striking when his opponent is unconscious, and showing respect for foes who prove to be his superior, which ties into the narration from the game’s trailer. Sure, he drinks potions designed to increase his abilities during the hunt, but those abilities are still nothing compared to Marvel’s big hitters, and yet Kraven is never a threat to take lightly. He’s like The Punisher in that respect, going toe-to-toe with metahumans through sheer cunning and guile. While Venom’s threat to the life of both versions of Spider-Man is already well established through decades of comic books and other media, Kraven isn’t as much of a known draw, but he’s able to stand up to Spider-Man’s power despite only being a highly-skilled trophy hunter. He was even one of the founding members of the Sinister Six, a concept already introduced in the PlayStation universe of Spider-Man, so it’s nice to see a legacy character being given his own chance to shine, even if he’s doing it alongside Venom and probably 5 other, not yet announced villains too. Sergei Kravinoff, better known as Kraven, has been an iconic Spider-Man villain since he was first introduced in the comics in the 1960s, going on to become a constant thorn in the webslinger’s side. That’s great and all, but enough about that symbiote weirdo - I’m more concerned with the guy doing the narration, who appears to be Kraven the Hunter, and that’s very exciting.

The reveal trailer sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales teaming up to beat up some goons, but trouble is lurking just around the corner as Venom is revealed to be playing a huge role in the upcoming game. Insomniac also revealed a Wolverine game too, so they’re going to be pretty busy over the next few years.
#SPIDERMAN 2 VILLAN PS4#
It was predicted that we would see a new Spider-Man game from Insomniac after the success of the original PS4 game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and during the PlayStation Showcase 2021, the development finally revealed that the series would be continuing with Spider-Man 2, set to release on PS5 in 2023.
