One of the only first-party PlayStation games currently announced is Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the next instalment in the beloved superhero action series. We've heard next to nothing about the project in over a year, though Insomniac Games has reassured fans it's still on track for 2023. So, when are we going to learn more? Potentially very soon indeed, if we're reading things right.
The game is set to feature Venom as a primary antagonist, voiced by Tony Todd, the actor best known for his titular role in Candyman. The performer is pretty active on social media, and recently expressed his excitement about some impending news:
This tweet has Spidey fans all aflutter, assuming the tweet is suggesting we're finally getting an update on the PS5 action adventure tomorrow, 29th November 2022. While that's not explicitly stated in his initial tweet, Todd retweeted this response from a follower about an hour later:
This two-hit combo certainly points towards potential news relating to Marvel's Spider-Man 2, though we'd suggest not getting too excited. Sony has been extremely tight-lipped about its upcoming suite of software, to the point where we've gone more than a whole year without a proper showcase. It seems like unusual timing, but then, the company seems to be marching to its own beat these days, so who knows. Basically, this could still be anything — perhaps an announcement that the game will show up during The Game Awards?
We'll find out soon enough, in any case. Are you hoping to see more from Marvel's Spider-Man 2? Zip into the comments section below.

Maybe a state of play? I'm predicting an August or September release date with a holiday bundle that they're going push hard hext year.
I hope the next trailer has smaller puddles than there are in the actual game. Lets see if that gets as much attention...
I can't stand these State of Play... I just want a PlayStation Showcase. Show us what to expect for the next 1-2 years guys...
@paulo1manso I want a showcase too,but I think they're not going to do one this year because of the Activision acquisition.
I imagine we’ll see something at the Game Awards.
Tbh, we know of very few exclusives for next year. Especially system sellers. This would be no doubt a system seller, and with Christmas right around the corner.. it would make huge sense for a little promo. If kids see a trailer for this, they'll be asking for a PS5. marketing it correctly can definitely push sales up.
I actually feel like we have a decent idea of what to expect from Sony next year.
Going by Sony's average number of yearly releases, we can guess that about five PS Studios titles will come out next year. MLB The Show 23, Horizon: Call of the Mountain, and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are the givens. So there really are only maybe two we don't know about. I assume Helldivers 2 is one of them and the other one is the only big unknown. And that doesn't include the SIE published stuff like Stellar Blade and Firewall Ultra. A showcase would definitely be nice, but I feel like the roadmap for 2023 is obvious if you keep up with PlayStation news.
Whether Sony/PlayStation does a State of Play or a PlayStation Showcase, ya'll won't be satisfied, you never are. People b@tch and moan when Sony/PlayStation announces a slew of great games that are 2-3 years away, and people b@tch and moan when Sony/PlayStation does a small State of Play/PlayStation Showcase that show us what's coming that year.
People here acting like there are no games to look forward to in 2023, sure there's not a lot of First-Party Titles, but there's Forspoken, Final Fantasy 16, Silent Hill 2 Remake, Factions, Spider-Man 2, Helldivers 2, Little Devil Inside, Tchia, Horizon: Call of the Mountain PSVR2 and a slew of PSVR2 Titles. I would understand people's frustrations if there were no games to look forward to, but fact of the matter is, there IS content to look forward to in 2023.
Erica Lindbeck as Gwen.
C'mon bruh this is such a nothing thing to write about 😠I know there's hardly anything to look forward to as far as first party games, but drawing up an article from a nothing tweet is sad as hell
@WizzNL I had a feeling this tweet would amount to nothing.
how long has been since the last spider-man , 4 years already ? damn . if $ony didn’t have dim ryan in charge it would’ve been out 2 years ago
