Fans were highly disappointed when Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was absent from both The Game Awards 2022 and the last Sony State of Play in March 2023.

However, recent leaks and reports indicate that fans can anticipate several reveals during the upcoming Showcase. Among the highlights expected is the long-awaited initial release date for Spider-Man 2, an enticing story trailer featuring three minutes of gameplay, a glimpse at new suits for the web-slinger, a sneak peek at the lineup of villains, a tease of the Venom Symbiote, and the starting date of pre-orders for the game.

The upcoming PS Showcase is scheduled to be broadcasted live next Wednesday, May 24 at 1 pm Pacific Time. Other than Spider-Man, other announcements are lined up for the event including Wolverine, The Last of Us, and many more!
