Spidey fans keen to hear first-hand reports of how Insomniac’s hugely-anticipated new sequel, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, actually feels to play are in luck this week as Insomniac has just revealed the first hands-on previews of the game are set to drop this weekend.
The studio ran two major preview events, inviting press and content creators to locations in both Los Angeles and London to get their hands on the game, and has flagged that the embargo for impressions from these events lifts at 1AM on Saturday, September 16th AEST.
It’s not clear what content folks in attendance were able to check out, but you can see some very cool-looking activations on-site in the photos shared below by Insomniac Games:
We invited press and content creators to check out Marvel's Spider-Man 2 at preview events in Los Angeles and London this week! Our spaces were webbed up in #SpiderMan2PS5 themes from the game!
Stay tuned for impressions at 8AM PT on September 15!#BeGreaterTogether pic.twitter.com/BDhT3lUyjN
