Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Release Date Finally Revealed For PS5 – SlashGear

It was revealed last year that we could expect “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” to hit shelves sometime this fall, but the trailer showcased at this year’s Summer Game Fest finally gave a specific date to mark on your calendar: October 20, 2023. The game will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5 (both the franchise and console are owned by Sony).

If you’ve played Insomniac Games’ first entry for either PS4 or PS5, you have some idea of what to expect from the triple-A “Spider-Man” game. However, the inclusion of Peter’s infamous black suit will bring a new hook to Spidey’s power set and abilities. Gameplay footage revealed that he’ll be able to use the black goo for various combinations and other attacks, often in lieu of his traditional web shooters.

Footage from “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” also showed the player toggling between Peter Parker and Miles Morales, which will add an intriguing twist to the gameplay. Considering in most versions of the story, the black suit briefly turns Peter to the dark side before splitting off to create Venom, there’s a chance at some point you’ll have to fight Peter in the game as Miles. As of right now, that’s just speculation based on what we’ve seen and the history of the franchise, but gamers will know for sure when “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” releases on the PS5 this October.
