We knew what we were coming to and we are back with our hands full: Sony and Insomniac promised news of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the occasion of the San Diego Comic-Con, and despite the fact that the presence of Venom does not catch us by surprise (it already appeared in the presentation of the game) his brutal entrance on the scene It’s everything you’d expect from Marvel’s lethal protector. And more.
First things first: Insomniac Games took advantage of its panel at the convention to put in context the fans who have come from the original game and those who come from new ones: not even a year has passed since Peter Parker y Miles Morales they saved New York City as Spider-Man and now it’s up to each of the wall-crawlers put together their lives.
In the case of Peter Parker, well, for a change he’s up to his neck in debt trying to carry out his responsibilities as a superhero. Miles, for his part, should be more serious about getting him into college, but he’s more into swinging around the big apple. That said, and as they say, there are not two without three: Harry Osborne, Peter’s best friend,
His last name and the color of his hair give him away: Harry Osborne is the son of Norman Osborne, who in this part of the multiverse is a politician with no sympathy for Spider-Man. Where has he been all this time?
In the original game, Harry gave us several recruiting missions while, we’re told, he’s away on a trip. Skipping the game’s surprise ending, however, we find out that in this sequel Peter’s lost friend reappears and he’s not the only new neighbor to win over the city that never sleeps: Kraven the Hunter has started his own spider manhunt right in the middle of the city. And that, whether you want it or not, will be able to our protagonists of the nerves.
At that point in the story offered is when the great protagonist enters the true star of the new advance: Venom, the enigmatic host of the black suit that we saw Peter Parker’s Spider-Man wearing, and that according to Insomniac will not be Eddie Brock, makes his way between screams and destruction filling the screen. Friend, enemy or both at the same time? October 20
This is the new limited edition Spider-Man PS5
Sony will repeat the same play that we saw with PS4 and, taking advantage of the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, has announced a new themed PS5 model with an interchangeable shell inspired by the arrival of the symbiote in the spider universe of Insomniac Games and a fully matching DualSense controller.
Actually it is the same PS5 that is already on sale, so if we already have a PS5 console at home we can purchase separately both the casings (one for the PS5 with a disc reader and another as the digital version) and the limited edition controller. And if we do not have any of the above, we can get the console and the casings, the controller and the game in the same pack.
Reservations for these items open on July 28 in Europe, as well as the US, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Portugal and Portugal via direct.playstation.com. Of course, the game code included with the console pack only includes the contents of the standard edition and its downloads will be enabled as of October 20. Date the game will be released.
except surprise, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 be the last big card that PlayStation Studios will have to play in 2023. And it is obvious that the Japanese are going to put all the meat on the grill. Above all, with a Spider-Man who has not stopped giving joy to Sony in video games and the big screen.
