Just a week to go till fans can finally get their hands on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. And the excitement is palpable. With a week to go for the game’s release, preloading has begun as well. The devs have gone all out to keep fans on their toes in the buildup to its release. And when fans probably didn’t think it possible, the Spider-Man craze has reached new heights.
Fans have been given a glimpse into the game through teasers and trailers and images and what not. The devs even teamed up with PlayStation for a Spider-Man 2 bundle. And then they went even further and made limited edition Spider-Man 2 edition Adidas sneakers. Now, both Spider-Men have been sighted swinging through cities on big screens. The people of Toronto witnessed something incredible.

In a truly spectacular fashion, an ad for Spider-Man 2 has been playing on a massive billboard in Toronto. People passing through Toronto’s Yonge-Dundas Square can witness the 3D feature.
PlayStation Canada’s official X (formerly Twitter) page posted a clip of the 3D animation showing both web slingers as well as Venom fighting through the streets of New York City. The animation features the underarm webs or webbed wings used for gliding. And as they’re gliding, they’re ambushed by Venom. And in the end, Venom pops his head right at the screen with the 3d effect making it look like he’s coming out! And in typical Venom fashion, he sticks out his tongue. This is before both Parker and Miles come onto the screen.
Parker’s Spider-Man featured his mechanical arms, much like the arms from the iron spider suit. Meanwhile, the animation gave a glimpse of Miles’ bio-electricity. The difference from the Miles Morales games, though, is that in this game the color of the electricity is blue.

This is not the first time this animation has made it to the billboards. Marvel Games recently shared a similar post of the 3d animation on billboards in New York and LA.
While the devs have clearly gone big for promoting the upcoming title, fans would be wrong to think this is it. Apart from live-action 3D commercials, they have actually been busy, and have done a lot more!
Sony went above and beyond for Marvel’s Spider Man 2?
True Believers surely couldn’t have missed the live-action advertisements of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on the billboards across NYC, LA, Toronto and may other places. But this is just one of the many things Sony has done.

Sony collaborated with Adidas to launch exclusive Spidey-themed sneakers in the iconic red and blue combination. The hihglight of the sneakers is that the sole is black, with the design capturing the moment the symbiote takes over Spider-Man’s advanced suit.

In another instance, fans spotted a Volkswagen Corrado in Kuala Lampur during the early days of promotion. It was designed to look like it had been webbed up by the wall crawler. And behind it was an LED board promoting this action-adventure game.
Sony also announced an exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2-themed PS5 bundle. The console and the controller both have the Spider-Man logo, while the color is red and black, showing the symbiote taking over.
