game news Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: an ‘uncompromising’ sequel, do we claim the craziest PS5 exclusive yet?
Sony has repeatedly assured it: Peter Parker and Miles Morales will return to the service this year with the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. A PS5 exclusive to follow very closely? Certainly, especially if Jim Ryan’s latest statements are to be believed.
Spider-Man, the return
As 2023 enters, it’s clear that PS5 players remain somewhat unhappy. But don’t panic, there are some great things for exclusives. Next month is Final Fantasy XVI comes to Sony’s console. And shortly after, players are treated to the much-anticipated event Marvel’s Spider-Man 2Sequel to the very good game from 2018 by Insomniac Games.
It remains to be seen when exactly this new work will appear in the PS5 catalogue. Sony currently states that it is aiming for a release this year, but an exact date has not yet been communicated. However, this date could be announced next week on the occasion of the new Playstation Showcase. Meanwhile, Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan had the chance to talk to Famitsu about the title.
A true PS5 exclusive
This emerges from a lengthy interview granted to the Japanese media Famitsu that Jim Ryan may have mentioned Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. According to him like FF16, this new work dedicated to the weaver would be perfect for the PS5, taking full advantage of the console’s power. Thus, Insomniac Games would have designed this work “without compromise”. The studio would have been directed to focus on optimizing the title and fully exploiting the PS5’s capabilities.
The President of SIE goes one step further and also talks about the initial feedback, which speaks of a “great” and “really impressive” game. We particularly remember the thrilling sensations of exploring New York in the skin of Spidey, so we can only hope to find an even better similar experience in this work. Jim Ryan is obviously promising big things for software from his stable here, but we’ll still be pretty excited about the idea of finding out what Insomniac has in store for fans. See you soon – ideally from May 24th during the Playstation Showcase – to find out more!
