Rumor: Spider-Man 2 Will Come With “The New, Slimmer” PlayStation 5

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a visually stunning game. The Insomniac Games title has received massive fan approval thanks to its crisp graphics and smooth gameplay mechanics. Players have spent thousands of hours roaming around New York as the friendly neighborhood hero, shooting webs and beating up the bad guys. However, the community has also requested the developers for a long time to focus on a sequel for the game that could take things to the next level.

A tweet had hinted about the release of Spider-Man 2 even before Summer Game Fest 2023. However, now it seems that the rumor may be true after all. A recent tweet by the same account suggests that the sequel may be launched bundled with a new PlayStation 5 console.
