Marvel’s Spider-Man 2finally has a release date, and it won’t be long before we’re playing the PS5 exclusive, thanks to new info that debuted duringE3 2023’s replacement Summer Game Fest.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2now has a release date of October 20, shoring upPS5’s late-year exclusives which is an otherwise barren landscape at present. Insomniac didn’t show any new footage forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2during the Summer Game Fest presentation itself, but the release date alone is sure to have Marvel fans marking their calendars.

It was a bit disappointing to not have the release date locked in during last month’s PlayStation Showcase. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait too long for official confirmation with Summer Game Fest swinging to the rescue to appease fans.

Sadly, we didn’t get anymore teasers forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2during its Summer Game Fest presence; Insomniac choosing to keep it short and sweet instead. Still, with the official release date just over four months away, it won’t be long until we’re swinging through New York once again as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is already looking like a contender for ourbest PS5 gameslist. The original impressed with polished web-slinging mechanics and intricate combat, with plenty of ways to approach scenarios. Hopefully, there’s a bit less milling around as Mary Jane and other supporting characters in the sequel, though it’ll be interesting to see how said characters have evolved, and what part they’ll play inMarvel’s Spider-Man 2.

There’s still plenty of Spider-Man to enjoy before October 20, thankfully. BothMarvel’s Spider-ManandMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Moralesare available to download and play fromPS Plus.Across the Spider-Versejust released in theaters, too. Meanwhile,Marvel Snapjust launched itsAcross the Spider-Versethemed season, packing cards of iconic characters from the hit movie.
