Everyone at Insomniac Games is thrilled to announce that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will launch on Friday, October 20th, 2023, only on PlayStation 5. After the amazing fan reception for Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2018 and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales in 2020, the team has worked tirelessly over the past few years to make this third installment in the franchise the sequel you have been waiting for. Built from the ground up for PlayStation 5 console, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will unlock the power of the console with better visuals, faster web swinging (and web wings!), 3D Audio*, and near-instant character switching. We speak for all our collaborators and friends at PlayStation and Marvel Games, when we say that we cannot wait for you to get your hands on this incredible single-player open-world experience.

*3D Audio via built-in TV speakers or analogue/USB stereo headphones.

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players will get to experience Marvel’s New York as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. As you saw in the PlayStation Showcase last month – the main storyline of the game will have you take control of both Spider-Men at different points of the campaign. In the open world, you will be able to switch nearly instantly between them as you explore Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. Both Spider-Men have stories and missions in the world exclusive to each of them.

As you can see from our box art, Peter and Miles are both key protagonists in our story. The iconic red background returns, but darkness surrounds as fan-favorite villains like Venom, Lizard, and Kraven threaten them and Marvel’s New York. You will also notice that each character’s arm represents their new abilities: Peter with the symbiote, Miles with his evolved bioelectric Venom powers.

Yessssssss

 

[GHG]

October 20th release date. Just announced on stage.

 

[LectureMaster]

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

 

[Bernoulli]

Preorders open now

 

[X-Wing]

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

Showcase was probably recorded a lot before the date it was shown, they maybe needed confirmation from the studio.

 

[BrutalTruth_]

Venom looks great

 

[Draugoth]

Thread updated with all information

 

[Certinty]

Venom looks AMAZING!

 

[Robb]

Cover doesn’t look very good.

Venom looks great though, he looks huge! Can’t wait for this!

Do Insomniac game ever get tired of using fake bullshot pics and videos?

 

[feynoob]

Nice to stay away from september.

October fits the game as it has kraven hunter and venom

 

[Varteras]

It's concept art.

 

[staticshock]

It's concept art.

Oh I was about to say the game looks nothing like that.

 

[BoxFresh123]

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Is this published by Ubisoft?

 

[graywolf323]

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

Summer Games Fest currently has nearly 500k people watching the livestream just on their YouTube channel, is this really ‘less hyped’?

 

[ProtoByte]

Yo, those early unlocks look like Moon Knight! If they have him cameo in this game, I'm gonna flip.

 

[kaizenkko]

Great box art, can't wait to play it.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

On Twitter people are saying Venom is not Eddie Brock. Has this been confirmed?

Also, Venom needs to playable.

 

[Wastelander92]

They said that on stage. Venom is original in this (supposedly).

 

[[Sigma]]

Eh the box art is very unimaginative.

 

[X-Wing]

If you played the first game you know who Venom is.

 

[Moses85]

[Certinty]

From what they’ve said about Venom being original, I would think Kraven turns into Venom rather than Harry Osborne.

 

[Unknown?]

Eh the box art is very unimaginative.

So was the first one. It's what mainstream people like. Gone are the days of Resistance.

 

[VeganElduderino]

Do Insomniac game ever get tired of using fake bullshot pics and videos?

it says concept art right on the pics

 

[LordCBH]

Let’s fucking GOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Sethbacca]

Kinda want that statue. I don't often go for CEs but that would like amazing on my shelf.

 

[Pelta88]

Venom looks absolutely insane.

 

[Raonak]

That venom statue.... Woow

 

[Nankatsu]

Collectors looks really good. Venom looks epic.

 

[Fbh]

Will wait for a sale/discount but it's nice to finally have a date

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

Nah.
Being in multiple events is better for them. If they hadn't shown up during the conference we probably wouldn't be talking about Spiderman 2 right now.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Venom has always been one of my favorite Marvel villains, so I'm hyped about him being present, alone. I'm not gonna lie, I'm really curious who it will be, since they already specified that it wouldn't be Brock, and more so someone "new", so, that should be interesting.

Almost wondering if I should just wait for the inevitable PC release at this point though...

Mac Gargan would be a safe bet then, the symbol kinda matches

 

[Gambit2483]

I saw some Gen Zer online claiming "Peter IS Venom"....I guess some people don't understand how stupid and nonsensical that would be considering the Symboite HATES Peter because he rejected him....Smh

 

[Ansphn]

Wow they nailed Venom.

 

[StereoVsn]

This is going to be perhaps one of two games the whole year I'd get Day 1 (maybe Day 2 to wait for technical performance details).

 

[Thirty7ven]

Kraven is Venom?

 

[adamsapple]

Kraven is Venom?

He said Eddie isn't venom, so it's probably one of the Osborne's.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

October looking stacked and Spider-Man 2 going to demolish the competition. Happy it's not September with Armored Core launching at the end of August, going to take my sweet time with that, by the time Spidey swings in I'll be more than ready.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

He said Eddie isn't venom, so it's probably one of the Osborne's.

This is what I'm thinking. I was hoping the Goblin would show up, but Venom is good enough. Not sure about it not being Eddie Brock though, seems weird in that regard.

 

[Turk1993]

Hyped! Kraken beats peter so bad hes almost dying, Miles saves him last moment. Miles breaks in Oscorp to steal some medicines that can heal Peter but finds Harry in the lab. He tries to save harry and unleashed him. While hes saving Harry the symbiote is creeping in Miles backpack. Just when Miles wants to give Peter the medicine the symbiote jumps on Peter. Symbiote heales Peter and he becomes symbiote Spiderman. Peter gets more agressive and can't controll himself anymore. They fight Kraken again and this time they beat him soo bad that hes almost dying. Miles wants to save him but Peter want to kill him. Miles fight Peter and tries to free him of the symbiote. He gets the job done but the symbiote found another body to take over again, and this time its Kraken. And so he becomes Venom and they tryna take him down with the trio of Peter, Miles and Harry (as green goblin).

 

[Slothbeing1209]

The statue pose looks great. But I don't believe in Sony CE figure quality...

 

[Heisenberg007]

He said Eddie isn't venom, so it's probably one of the Osborne's.

Aunt May resurrected as Venom. Let's go!

 

[dotnotbot]

CE has steelbook case but no disc, cool

 

[crackajack]

Isn't this weird that they decided not to reveal release date in their home show but then announce a few days later in a less hyped showcase?

nope, it will also get at least one state of play and unlike the barrage of Deathloop appearances the majority of people will like every new bit of what they show of Spiderman2.

 

[X-Wing]

CE has steelbook case but no disc, cool

It's been like that for a while. Otherwise people who bought the digital only console would be fucked.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Pre-order suits look dope.

 

[RoadHazard]

I hate physical collector's editions that don't include a physical copy of the game. Will get the standard physical.
