News: You will be able to swing through New York with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales this holiday season.

Sony has revealed when you can expect to play Insomniac’s next Spider-Man adventure. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will launch on October 20, 2023, just in time for the holiday season. It will be available only on PlayStation 5 and Insomniac has promised that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be “...the sequel you have been waiting for.”

Built from the ground up for PlayStation 5, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will unlock the power of the console with better visuals, faster web swinging (and web wings!), 3D Audio, and near-instant character switching.

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players will get to experience Marvel’s New York as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales. As we saw in the PlayStation Showcase last month – the main storyline of the game will have you take control of both Spider-Men at different points of the campaign. In the open world, you will be able to switch nearly instantly between them as you explore Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. Both Spider-Men have stories and missions in the world exclusive to each of them.

As you can see from the logo, Peter and Miles are both key protagonists in the story. The iconic red background returns, but darkness surrounds as fan-favorite villains like Venom, Lizard, and Kraven threaten them and Marvel’s New York. You will also notice that each character’s arm represents their new abilities: Peter with the symbiote, Miles with his evolved bioelectric Venom powers.

In addition to the launch date, Sony has announced several editions for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Pre-orders will open on June 16th, 2023 at all participating retailers, PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Direct. Pre-Orders will go live at 10:00 AM local time on June 16, 2023.
