Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developers reveal new info about Venom

When Insomniac Games revealed they were doing a title based on Spider-Man, many fans were intrigued about what would come next. But even by their wildest imaginations, it’s hard to think they could’ve pictured what we got. Their first title, which later became Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, was a near masterpiece in terms of characters, story, and gameplay. Then, they did a spinoff game for the PS5 starring Miles Morales, detailing his first days as a true Spider-Man. Fast forward to now, and one of the most-anticipated games of 2023 is the third game in this series, and it looks to put the other two to shame with how big it’s going.

Is there room on the big screen for more than one live action Spider-Man? Andrew Garfield, the Peter Parker of the Amazing Spider-Man film franchise, the character's second movie incarnation, has offered up some recent comments that have fans hopeful he might come back as Spider-Man again. And at the same time, Thomas Hayden Church, who played Sandman in the original Spider-Man movie franchise, has speculated on the possibility of revisiting the version of Peter Parker played by Tobey Maguire, saying he's heard rumors that Maguire and director Sam Raimi could make a new Spidey movie together.

Plenty of things in life don’t surprise people, as we can often predict things before they happen. In the video game space, we can often tell that a video game will do well or be received well enough due to the hype around the title or the recent history of the developer. Case in point, the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games is likely to not only be a great title but a Game of the Year contender and sell many millions on PS5. Another prediction that was easy to make was the success of the custom PS5 for the title.

If you thought you were done dealing with scalpers when it comes to video game merchandise, then you’re wrong. These scalpers were a big problem back when we were going through the pandemic. Consumers were starving for new entertainment media, and with Microsoft and Sony bringing out their latest generation consoles, it was a scalper’s dream come true. Units were bought instantly, and consumers were forced into paying a drastically inflated price. That’s not much of a problem anymore for console units. But Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 fans are now dealing with these scalpers again. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is getting a Limited Edition PS5 Bundle on September 1st, and pre-orders are available now. The bundle retails for $599.99/£569.99 and includes a PS5 with custom faceplates, a custom DualSense controller and a digital game voucher for the game.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already almost been a week since San Diego Comic-Con started up. The event may not have been the “all-consuming event” it had been in the past, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t anything to do at the show. Case in point, many comic panels and vendors saw their business boom because fans were willing to check out their tables and content versus simply going to the “big Hollywood stuff.” Another thing that happened was that video game panels took the show by storm, including Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 having a panel for fans to enjoy.
