Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has received its official release date for PlayStation 5, and the game is arriving a bit later than previous leaks suggested. The new game follows the adventures of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales in New York against Kraven the Hunter and Venom. Kraven is looking for a challenging hunt away from his natural habitat, while the Venom symbiote’s exact role in the game has yet to be seen.
As was announced during the 2023 Summer Game Fest live showcase, which was broadcast on the official The Game Awards channel on Twitch, the release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set for October 20, 2023. The official cover art for the game was also revealed on developer Insomniac Games' official Twitter .
The PS5 game’s release date comes nearly a month after the gameplay reveal for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which showcased Miles’ new gameplay, along with Peter Parker’s symbiote form. During the Summer Game Fest showcase, Insomniac also revealed that the Venom that players will meet is not Eddie Brock. In addition, the game will tell a completely original story that has never before been explored in the comics.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Release Date For PS5 Debunks Leaks
According to previous a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release date leak, the PS5 game was expected to arrive in September 2023. Although the title has long been expected to arrive in Fall 2023, the October release date sets the leak’s date back in about one month. It is uncertain if the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 leaks were wrong or if the game was internally delayed, but it is still being released within the 2023 fiscal year, which means that an internal delay could have happened to ensure the game ships with the best possible quality.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s release date on October 20 is when players will be able to start exploring the new story of the popular Marvel heroes and better understand how they will work together to stop a threat that strikes from multiple sides. There are predictions that Peter Parker dies in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, based on stories from the comics, but the recent announcement that this is an entirely new story may mean that the original Spider-Man will actually survive.
Once the game arrives, players will also be able to understand how the symbiote comes into play and how it attaches to Peter’s suit, as well as the consequences of his delve into the darkness. It is unlikely that Kraven and Venom will be the only villains in the game, but they seem to be shaping up to be the main antagonists in the campaign. With the release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 set, players need only wait to play the PS5 game.
