Along with revealing the incredibly sexy new limited edition PS5 console bundle, cover plates and DualSense controller, Insomniac has also dropped a slick new trailer for its upcoming blockbuster sequel, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
The new trailer runs at a svelte two minutes long but packs in a ton of stuff for fans to pore over, giving us our best look yet at Venom in action as well as introducing or re-introducing characters like Harry Osborne, Mister Negative, Mary Jane and Kraven the Hunter.
The trailer also sets up a bit of a tease as to Venom’s identity with a line uttered by Harry in the opening moments being echoed later on in rather sinister fashion, but knowing the nature of PlayStation first party teasers it could just as well be a bit of a ruse.
Check out the new trailer below:

The game’s Senior Narrative Director, Jon Paquette, says in the post, “At the beginning of our story, our Spider-Men are at the top of their game. But both Peter Parker and Miles Morales are struggling with their personal lives. Miles is trying to find time to write his college entrance essay, but he keeps procrastinating and focusing on Spider-Work instead. Meanwhile, Peter is underwater on payments for Aunt May’s house, but he can’t sell, it means too much to him. And just like Miles, Peter tries (and fails) to find balance with so many responsibilities. MJ wants to help Pete with the mortgage, but her job is on the line now that J. Jonah Jameson is back at the Bugle and looking to clean house. Our heroes have arrived at a confluence of crossroads, with uncertain futures, and some tough decisions ahead.”
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases exclusively for PS5 on October 20, 2023. Amazon has pre-orders for $99 with free shipping.
