Insomniac is currently in development Marvel’s Spider-Man 2sequel to the wall-crawler-starring title that was released on PlayStation 4 in 2018, PlayStation 5 in 2020, and PC in August 2022. If Sony continues with its usual plans, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be the first of of major PlayStation 5 titles for this year, with a PC (Windows) port coming a year later at the earliest.

Due to the good reception that Marvel’s Spider-Man had at the time, expectations around the sequel are very high. On the release date, the PlayStation 5 version is due out in September 2023 according to what was dropped by actor Tony Todd, who voices Venom, one of the most iconic villains in the Spider-Man universe.

Tony Todd’s name may sound familiar to many, and he is the actor who played Candyman in four films of the horror saga, three of which came out in the 1990s and one that was released in 2021. To be more specific, Todd through his account stated the following Twitter: “Looks like September! Massive publicity will take place in August. I was told the ads will start appearing in August. Hold on… and hold your breath! it will be necessary“.

Going by the tone of the message, it doesn’t seem like a random leak, but rather it seems that Insomniac is clear that it can launch Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the above date. On the other hand, using the voice of Venom and the actor who embodies Candyman can be a good marketing strategy.

More details about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will likely be revealed around E3. After all, Insomniac certainly feels the pressure to get it right because the first game not only received good reviews from the trade press, but sold more than 33 million copieswhich revealed a resounding commercial success, surely aided by the PlayStation 4 bundles that brought the game.
