‘Spider-Man 2’ launches on October 20th
Developer Insomniac revealed the launch date for Spider-Man 2 at Summer Game Fest 2023. The PS5 exclusive arrives on October 20th, a date Insomniac’s Brian Horton says the team is “very confident” standing behind.
The sequel to the 2018 original has Peter Parker and Miles Morales teaming up with GTA V-style character-switching. “In the open world, you will be able to switch nearly instantly between [Peter and Miles] as you explore Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn,” Insomniac’s James Stevenson wrote in a blog post. “Both Spider-Men have stories and missions in the world exclusive to each of them.”
In addition to the release date, Insomniac announced that pre-orders will open on June 16th at 10am local time. Those who pre-order will receive “an early unlock Arachknight Suit for Peter with 3 additional color variants, an early unlock Shadow Spider Suit for Miles with 3 additional color variants, an early unlock Web Grabber gadget, and 3 skill points.”
The gameplay trailer at last month’s PlayStation Showcase revealed Parker’s Spider-Man wearing the black Symbiote (Venom) Suit while showing a glimpse of the requisite power and poor judgment that go with the territory.
