It’s a constant push and pull for dominance whether it’s internal or external and the outcome is not certain.” – Jacinda Chew, Senior Art Director, Insomniac Games This represents the various ways players will experience the symbiote takeover in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. “The design was inspired by the in-game symbiote that’s taking over the console and controller, but you can still see some of the underlying red under the tendrils. Here’s Senior Art Director Jacinda Chew, who shares her thoughts behind the design inspiration: It’s been fantastic collaborating with the teams at Insomniac Games and Marvel on this new look for the PS5 console and DualSense controller. On the DualSense wireless controller, you can see a larger portion of the controller taken over by the symbiote design. The symbiote has completely bonded to the back of the PS5 console with the iconic white Spider-Man icon from Insomniac’s Advanced Suit on display. The front cover of the PS5 shows the symbiote tendrils aggressively creeping closer to the Spider-Man icon, threatening to consume the last bit of the remaining red shining brightly through. This is why we wanted to reflect the intensity of the symbiote and its capacity for transformation and power with a takeover design for the PS5 console and DualSense wireless controller. The threat of Venom and the symbiote will be one of the most formidable challenges that our two Spider-Men will face in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. We were thrilled to debut these stunning designs to our fans today because of how they capture the look and feel of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
