Spread MCU News

Fans of the Spider-Man franchise have been eagerly anticipating the release of the upcoming PS5 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. And now, thanks to a recent tweet from Tony Todd, the actor playing Venom in the game, we may have a release date window to look forward to. Todd’s tweet revealed that the game “looks like” it will release this September, with “massive publicity” coming ahead of the release in August when fans can expect commercials to start.

This news will come as exciting for many fans who have been eagerly awaiting the release of the game, which was first announced at PlayStation’s September 2021 showcase for a 2023 release alongside the announcement of a PS5 Wolverine game.

The Spider-Man games developed by Insomniac Games have received widespread acclaim, with the first game starring Peter Parker releasing in 2018 and a Miles Morales-led spin-off following in 2020 alongside the launch of the PS5. Now, the two Spider-Men will converge in the upcoming Spider-Man 2 game, along with the introduction of Venom to the universe after the symbiote anti-hero was teased in both previous games.

Despite concerns of a potential delay to 2024 due to a lack of marketing or word from Insomniac Games, Peter Parker actor Yuri Lowenthal recently reassured fans that the game is still on track for a 2023 release. While Todd’s tweet is not an official announcement, it does seem to confirm the September release window that fans have been speculating about.

It is worth noting that Todd’s decision to confirm this information through a tweet is unusual, as release details this significant would normally come by way of a formal announcement. However, perhaps Todd thought that the information was already out in the public domain.

Regardless, it seems that fans won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. And with “massive publicity” expected in August, fans can look forward to learning more about the highly-anticipated game in the coming months.
