Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 release date
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will launch on October 20, 2023 on PS5. This is where we expected the game to release, as it was previously written for a Fall 2023 window. This puts it in the midst of stiff competition, such as Super Mario Bros. Marvel also release that day.
Is Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 a PS5 exclusive?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be released exclusively for PS5 and will not release on PS4. This was confirmed via a PlayStation tweets (opens in a new tab).
Pre-orders for the game started on June 16, offering both a standard edition and a digital deluxe edition, both of which offer a number of in-game cosmetics and add-ons to ease your experience.
Will Spider-Man 2 come to PC?
Despite Spiderman 2 being explicitly billed as a PlayStation exclusive, there’s a chance we could see it coming to PC at a later date. We’ve recently seen Sony bring more and more first-party titles to PC Marvel’s Spider-Man AND Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales already on the platform. However, that probably won’t happen until at least a year after its initial release.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Trailer
Unveiled during San Diego Comic-Con 2023, this latest story trailer shows us exactly where Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 he will start by introducing us to Miles and Peter, before showing us what’s at stake with a preview of Kraven and his mysterious storyline. We also get a tantalizing look at Insomniac’s approach to venom, as well as a sneak peek at character responses to Peter Parker’s relationship with the parasite.
During the Summer Games Fest 2023, we saw a 10 minute gameplay presentation trailer, containing one of the first missions of the game. Throughout the video, we’re given a taste of the cinematic action of the title, as well as a preview of Peter’s new Venom-based powers.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was revealed with a trailer at the PlayStation Showcase in September 2021. The trailer is only about a minute and a half long, but it gives us a decent amount of detail. First, we see both Peter Parker and Miles Morales take on fighting henchmen, suggesting that we could play as both Spider-Men this time around.
Finally, we got the surprise appearance of Spider-Man’s notorious villain Venom – an outside world symbiote with a penchant for violence – so we expect he’ll be one of the sequel’s main villains.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t any gameplay to analyze when the trailer first aired, but we did briefly see a shot of Peter receiving an energy surge with his Iron Spider arms, suggesting that the powers of the suit could make a comeback, which has since been confirmed.
We also hear an ominous voice speaking in the trailer, suggesting that Peter and Miles will have yet another villain to deal with. It was later confirmed that it was Craven the hunter. Check out the trailer below:
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 gameplay
Thankfully, we have a good chunk of the gameplay for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to analyze. The main feature here is that Peter Parker’s Spider-Man has access to the symbiote suit, earning him the title of “stunt improviser”. Additionally, this appears to add new combat abilities, including a massive slam attack that can take out multiple enemies at once.
In terms of traversal, we’ve seen both Miles and Peter wearing wingsuits this time around which has been confirmed to help them travel faster than before. These are used to manage drafts in the trailer and can be chained together seamlessly with belt swing.
At certain points in the game, it seems like you can actually switch between playing as Miles and Peter. At the moment it is not clear if this is related to the pacing of the story or if things depend more on when the player wants to change.
In general, from what we have seen and what has been confirmed, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 seems to host a significant update on the gameplay presented in the last two games. There’s a greater emphasis on aggressive combat and the raw power of the new costume.
New skills and equipment appear to be adding new spins to existing combat and traversal systems. It’s also been said that how you play will impact Peter and his abilities, which is an interesting twist.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 story and setting
For many, this is no surprise Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be set in Manhattan Island in New York once again, things have been expanded slightly. Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn will also be featured, expanding the map as a whole.
Kraven can be seen in the trailer for the 2023 game, deciding to leave the jungle to hunt for new targets in New York. This is probably the place Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 It kicks off.
At some point, Peter Parker has acquired the symbiote suit and is using it as part of his normal Spider-man duties. Miles Morales is back this time too and he’s clearly aware that the symbiote suit seems to be changing Peter. How all of this ties together remains to be seen, and we still don’t know how Peter got hold of the lawsuit.
At the end of Marvel’s Spider-Man, Harry Osbourne is seen suspended in a vat, surrounded by what appears to be a symbiote. We know that Venom will be a big part of the game, but it’s still unclear how things will go from Harry to Peter to Venom.
But what we do know is that the Spider-Men aren’t Kraven’s only focus in the game. He’s clearly on the hunt for other superpowered targets, like the Taskmaster and the Wraith (who might just be Yuri Watanabe). We hope to hear more about the plot of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 soon now we will have a release date.
