Despite the absence of this information, it's difficult to contain our enthusiasm and wonder if Marvel's Spider-Man 2 could potentially be a contender for Game of the Year. The game seems to be living up to the enormous hype surrounding it. The recent gameplay deep dive showcased the ability for players to seamlessly switch between the two playable characters, Miles Morales and Peter Parker. Furthermore, it was revealed that the map of New York City in the game will be twice the size of its predecessor, featuring new areas like Queens. The formidable villains Kraven The Hunter, Lizard, and Venom are also set to make their appearances. Finally, after much anticipation, the release date has been unveiled, bringing relief to fans worldwide.

During the enthralling Summer Game Fest event held recently, the curtain was lifted, and the release date for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was officially announced: October 20, 2023. With this revelation, the countdown to the highly anticipated game has truly begun. Up until now, the developer, Insomniac Games, had only vaguely mentioned a release window of "Fall 2023." However, their confidence in the game's quality has grown to the point where they are now ready to commit to a definitive date, adding to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the title.

Additional information about the Collector's Edition of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was unveiled on the PlayStation blog. This special edition promises a stunning package for dedicated fans, although it comes at a hefty price of £219.99/$229.99. However, it is worth noting that the Collector's Edition disappointingly includes only a digital copy of the game. Despite this, it does offer enticing extras such as a digital voucher code, a visually appealing Steelbook case, and a magnificent 19-inch statue depicting the iconic Spider-Men engaged in an intense battle with Venom.

For those eager to secure their copy, pre-orders for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will commence on June 16. The exciting news doesn't end there, as pre-ordering any version of the game comes with some fantastic bonuses. Among these are early access to the Arachknight Suit for Peter, accompanied by three additional color variants, and the Shadow Spider Suit for Miles, also with three extra color variants. Additionally, pre-orders include the early unlock of the Web Grabber gadget and three skill points, enhancing the gameplay experience for fans who seize this opportunity.
