Sony's PlayStation Showcase 2021 featured a number of new trailers, but none were as eye-catching as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Featuring Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the game's trailer included a close-up cut of the spider suit and the creepy Venom lurking in the shadows
Unfortunately, we'll have to wait to find out what else "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" has in store The title, from Insomniac Games, the developer of the last two "Spider-Man" films, won't arrive until next year, and once "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" is released, we'll be able to see Peter Parker and Miles Morales, the two characters in the 2020 solo adventure " Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales," which has just been completed, it appears that either or both of the two Spider-Men will be at the controls to take on the biggest threat of all, the symbiote Venom
Here is what we currently know about Marvel's Spider-Man 2
At this time, Marvel's Spider-Man is set for release sometime in 2023 No further specific information has been provided at this time, but there will almost certainly be additional footage and announcements that will detail more specific release plans
Given that Insomniac Games shipped the excellent Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart only a few months ago, the team will likely release this Spider-Man They probably didn't have much time to delve deeply into the new film
Not only that, but the developers are also working on "Marvel's Wolverine," which was announced at the 2021 PlayStation Showcase
Spider-Man is now a major Sony exclusive, and we expect Spider-Man 2 to launch in the holiday season of 2023 We also expect that Spider-Man 2 will not be ported to PS4 and will be released only on PS5
The first trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was shown during the September PlayStation Showcase presentation Since there was no preface, viewers were likely taken by surprise by the completely unexpected announcement, which was a bit of a surprise to fans who were not expecting a follow-up so soon
The show included a short clip introducing Venom and his wrinkled voice, in which Peter Parker and Miles Morales were shown fighting off an enemy squad on the streets of New York City As Peter Parker and Miles Morales look into the darkness, Pan shifts to a shadow in a dark alleyway And then the reveal: Venom snarls at the camera, which cuts to his iconic logo
New gameplay for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has not yet been released The footage shown in the debut trailer is only pre-rendered and does not show off the actual gameplay that fans have come to expect However, it is safe to assume that the game will feature much of the exploration-based gameplay of Spidey and his friends around New York City and its familiar landmarks
Parker will likely wear the Iron Spider suit from the "Spider-Man: Homecoming" movie Since "Spider-Man 2" will feature two Spider-Men, a tag team is likely
Previous Spider-Man games allowed for mass web-slinging from skyscraper to skyscraper, with story missions and optional quests scattered throughout the city, consisting of story scenes, street fights, and challenging boss encounters These games were single-player focused and rewarded those who wanted to collect hidden goodies, see everything the game had to offer, and see what lay before them
Given that the game will be released in 2023, it will be some time before we see any meaningful gameplay
Insomniac Games has yet to reveal any official details about what we can expect from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 At the very least, we know that we can expect the game to follow the story developed in the original 2018 game and side story, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
From the narration, the character used by the symbiote seems to have an Eastern European accent It is possible that this character is Craven Not only is this character from Russia, but he is always complaining about finding equal opponents with whom he can fight Of course, until we get confirmation from Insomniac and Sony, this is all speculation
Unfortunately for fans who have yet to purchase a PS5, "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" will not be released simultaneously on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 at this time Ryan Schneider, Head of Franchise Strategy & Studio Relations at Insomniac Games, confirmed this via the official PlayStation blog, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is exclusive to PS5 and is a next-generation console experience It appears to have been built from the ground up
Previously, "Marvel's Spider-Man" was originally released on PlayStation 4 and later came to PS5 along with "Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales" The same does not appear to be happening with the PlayStation version of "Spider-Man"
"Marvel's Spider-Man 2" will be a huge game among Sony's exclusive titles Having both Parker and Morales in the same game is something that fans of the comics have been clamoring for
The great thing about superhero games, as opposed to movies, is that there is a lot of room for lesser-known characters and villains If Kraven is the game's main antagonist, then Insomniac is probably digging deep into Spider-Man's lore and trying to bring a rich and complete world to life
If you recall, the Spider-Man games were always set in Manhattan However, with the speed and power of the PS5, it would be great if other boroughs of New York City, such as Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, could be the setting
In any case, graphically, the game looks sharp and amazing, and I can't wait for its release in 2023, when the game will be available on the PS5 and the PS5 will be available on the PS5
