The time has finally come for PlayStation 5 to get the attention it deserves from Sony’s first-party developers. With almost every single PlayStation studio working on games exclusive to PS5, and also adding a slew of console exclusives, it can be difficult for people to tell which ones they’re looking forward to the most.
But it seems they don’t have to choose. A group is for a series of games announced for PlayStation 5. And another is a group made up of games that can’t even run on PlayStation 4 if their developers tried. Spider-Man 2 is such a game!
Spider-Man 2 would be the biggest PlayStation 5 launch of 2023!

Years ago, Insomniac Games developed Sunset Overdrive for Microsoft. It was a very wacky parody of every other action zombie game that had come out before it. Some people called the writing terrifying, others called it “different,” but everyone loved its gameplay.
Perhaps Sunset Overdrive was what Sony encouraged. They approached Insomniac Games with the idea of ​​working together on a Marvel project. They quickly settled on Spider-Man and released the title in 2018.
The game did to Spider-Man games what the Arkham game series did to superhero games. It gave them the recognition they deserved. The swinging mechanics were perfect, the side missions weren’t boring, and the story was actually miles better than expected.
The standalone Spider-Man: Miles Morales expansion surprised fans of the series by being better than the original game in every way. It was surprising because there were very few things that needed to be changed in the original. And yet somehow it felt better!
Then came the presentation of the Sony PlayStation 5 as Insomniac and Sony decided to tease the sequel. It showed Miles and Peter fighting a series of enemies while we hear a mysterious figure speaking in the nearby alley.
The character is none other than Venom. There was no date, there was no year, there wasn’t even a release window, but fans went nuts. Then there was news that the actor playing Harry Osborn in the upcoming Spider-Man 2 has been replaced by another actor. He said that’s because Insomniac is creating a more photorealistic rendition of Spider-Man’s world. That required an actor who was more physically capable.

Then the actor who plays Venom in the upcoming game said it would be crazier than the previous games. And now we have confirmation that the game will be out sometime in Spring 2023.
There are also some rumors about the Koop!
There are also rumors that Spider-Man 2 will have a co-op option as both Spider-Men appear in this game at the same time. It can’t be ruled out either. Let’s not forget Insomniac’s history of Resistance 2 and 3. Those games also had pretty robust couch co-op options!
