With the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 right around the corner, fans are eager to know exactly when they’ll be able to jump into one of the biggest games of the year.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will see the return of both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, as the duo will come together to take on Spider-Man’s biggest foe, Venom. Insomniac Games says players will be able to “explore an expansive Marvel’s New York with faster web-swinging and the all-new Web Wings”, as well as the ability to quickly switch between Peter and Miles to “experience different stories, epic new abilities and high-tech gear.”
Unlike its predecessor, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will only be available on the PlayStation 5 at launch. Both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales were eventually released on PC, but there is yet to be confirmation on if fans can expect the sequel to follow in the same footsteps.
While Marvel’s Spider-Man took 4 years to come to PC, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales only took 2 years to hit the platform. However, PlayStation has been ramping up its PC releases in recent years, so it could only be a short wait for PC users to get their hands on one of this year’s biggest games.
As for PlayStation 5 users, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is only a matter of days away. If you’re eager to know when you can jump in, here’s everything you need to know.
