Fans eagerly awaiting the launch date ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2could be in luck as Yuri Lowenthal, voice actor for Spider-Man / Peter Parker, has confirmed major progress has been made on the game.
News has been slow forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, which is one of the biggestupcoming gamesof the year since the teaser trailer dropped back in September 2021. In a recentReddit AMA, Yuri Lowenthal confirmed that all the motion capture for the game had been completed, responding to the question with: “Yup! All done!”.
TheMarvel’s Spider-Manvoice actor was notably tight-lipped about his involvement in the sequel, dodging questions that would give away anything substantial aboutMarvel’s Spider-Man 2in its current state. Considering that the Q&A session was for Skybound Games’Homestead Arcana, that’s not entirely surprising, though.
In anow-deleted tweetby, Venom voice actor Tony Todd claimed last month that fans could expectMarvel’s Spider-Man 2in September, stating, “Looks like September! Massive publicity coming in August. Commercials start dropping in August, so I’m told”(via Eurogamer). Should his comments, and the recent update from the Spider-Man voice actor be legit, then we could be swinging around New York in one of thebest PS5 gamesto date in just a few short months from now.
Let’s hear it for New York
It’s been nearly three years since the last installment in Insomniac’s Spider-Man franchise. The previous entry in the series,Spider-Man: Miles Morales,was aPS5launch title all the way back in 2023 and served as, admittedly, a thoroughly enjoyable, stop-gap between the two mainline releases. It repurposed a lot of the assets from the 2018 original and refined the core gameplay by stripping away the bloat and focusing on a character that I think is far more interesting.
It should go without saying that hype is through the roof forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. Not only has it been confirmed through the teaser trailer that we’re seeing more of Miles Morales and Peter Parker’s joint adventures, but also Venom. I’m a massive fan of the Todd McFarlane-created character as one of the most fearsome antagonists in the wall-crawlers extensive rouges gallery. He was previously a crucial part of the excellentSpider-Man: Web of Shadows’story and appeared in the lukewarmSpider-Man: Edge of Time, the sequel to the incredibleSpider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
