8 Marvel Games You Must Play if You Loved Spider-Man Brand New Day

Spider-Man Brand New Day has been out for less than a week, and if you walked out of the cinema with that post-Marvel buzz and nowhere to put it, we have good news. The gaming world is currently packed with excellent Marvel experiences across a range of genres and playstyles. Whether you want to swing through New York, build a team of heroes, or go toe to toe with other players, here are the Marvel games you must play if you loved Spider-Man Brand New Day.

1. Marvel's Spider-Man (2018)

The one that started it all for Insomniac's Marvel run. The original Marvel's Spider-Man is still one of the best superhero games ever made, with a story that handles Peter Parker's dual life with real emotional maturity. The combat, web-swinging, and open world design all set the template that the sequels built on. If you have not played any of the Insomniac Spider-Man games yet, start here first.

2. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

A shorter but no less excellent Spider-Man experience focused entirely on Miles Morales finding his footing as the new Spider-Man in Harlem. The story is tighter and more personal than the mainline games, and Miles' unique bioelectric Venom powers give combat a completely different flavor from Peter's. A perfect companion piece to the original and worth playing before Spider-Man 2.

3. Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The most obvious recommendation after Brand New Day and for good reason. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 lets you play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales swinging across an expanded version of New York with a story that leans heavily into the emotional weight of both characters. The web-swinging feels better than it ever has, and the Venom storyline gives the game a genuine sense of scale and consequence. If Brand New Day left you wanting more Peter Parker this is where to go.

4. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy

One of the most underrated Marvel games ever made, after Spider-Man. Guardians of the Galaxy is a single-player narrative adventure where you play as Star-Lord leading a deeply dysfunctional team of heroes through a genuinely funny and surprisingly emotional story. The writing is sharp, the character dynamics are excellent, and the combat system around directing your teammates' abilities is satisfying throughout. If you skipped this one when it launched, it is absolutely worth going back for.

5. Marvel's Midnight Suns

Midnight Suns is the most mechanically ambitious Marvel game on this list. A card-based tactical RPG developed by the Civilization and XCOM studio, it puts you in control of a custom hero called the Hunter working alongside Spider-Man, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, and others to stop a supernatural threat. The card combat takes time to click, but once it does, it is one of the deepest superhero game systems available. Spider-Man in particular is a joy to build a deck around.

6. Marvel's Iron Man VR

A more niche recommendation but worth mentioning for players with a PSVR headset. Iron Man VR puts you directly inside the suit, and the feeling of flying and firing repulsors in VR is genuinely unlike anything else in the Marvel gaming space. The story is standalone and enjoyable even if the gameplay loop is relatively simple compared to the bigger releases on this list.

7. Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play hero shooter that has quietly become one of the most played games of the last year. Spider-Man is a playable character with a genuinely fun web-based kit, and the roster now spans dozens of Marvel characters across every corner of the universe. If you want something to jump into immediately with no upfront cost and friends to play with, this is the easiest recommendation on the list.

8. Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls

Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls launches tomorrow from Arc System Works, and based on the open beta, it is shaping up to be something worth keeping a very close eye on. The 4v4 tag team fighter features a 20-character roster including Spider-Man, Ms Marvel, Doctor Doom, Storm, Wolverine, and more. The open beta gave a strong first impression with a combat system that has real depth and a roster that feels genuinely varied across playstyles.

One to Watch: Marvel's Wolverine

Wolverine has been confirmed for release next month from Insomniac Games, and based on everything shown so far, it looks like the next major Marvel game event. Insomniac has already proven with the Spider-Man series that they know how to translate Marvel characters into excellent action games, and Wolverine's berserker combat style is a natural fit for that same studio's design language. If Brand New Day has you deep in a Marvel mood, this is one to keep at the top of your wishlist. We will have full coverage when it lands.

Spider-Man Brand New Day is already one of the biggest films of 2026, and the Marvel gaming landscape right now is genuinely one of the strongest it has ever been. Whether you start with the Insomniac Spider-Man trilogy, jump into Marvel Rivals for free, or go deep on Midnight Suns, there is no shortage of great options to keep the energy going. And with Wolverine on the horizon next month, the best might still be ahead.
