PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 wants to impress everyone

After a meager teaser, which nevertheless made the hearts of fans beat at full speed, we are still waiting for a release date and a real gameplay video. According to what is said, the next blockbuster of the PS5 will be available in September 2023.
So when is the official speech with extracts that send?

And obviously, players who follow Insomniac Games are not ready.
Speaking live on Twitch, Jon Paquette, Narrative Director at the studio, said the developers are working hard to make Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 their best game yet. An even crazier title than Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart.
