Insomniac Games director Bryan Intihar took the stage at Summer Game Fest 2023 to announce a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release date of October 20, 2023 for PlayStation 5 (PS5). It was a surprise reveal that sticks with the developer’s previously revealed fall launch plans. Accompanying the Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 release date was some stunning art, including our first full look at Venom and also the official box art. As many fans had already guessed, Intihar confirmed that this iteration of Venom will not be Eddie Brock. He didn’t say who exactly will don the symbiote this time around. Although, some have already started to guess that Peter Parker’s longtime friend, Harry Osborne, will take up the mantle.
You can see the new Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Venom art above and the box art below while we wait to see more from the sequel when it arrives on PS5 this October.
