Playstation 5 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/playstation/] owners are up for a great year already. There are so many new games coming to the current generation of Sony’s console. This year, all the fans will also get their greatest desire, to see the games that are not cross-generation exclusives. Cross-generation games are those that release on both PlayStation 5 and PS4. The backdrop of this pattern is that PlayStation 4 stops developers from utilizing the power of Sony’s super-powerful next-gen device. And to celebrate this new and exciting year, it appears Sony is planning something big. SONY’S PLAYSTATION STATE OF PLAY EVENT IS EXPECTED FOR NEXT MONTH Sony is reportedly planning an upcoming State of Play event [https://twitter.com/NextGenPlayer/status/1612580841053630464?t=HosePG1svAo8Pd73SYcIGA&s=19] that will seemingly focus on games arriving on the PlayStation 5 later this year. If one has to guess, there could be a bunch of footage from the upcoming, already-announced titles. Resident Evil 4 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-please-wait-just-a-little-longer-capcom-producer-reassures-fans-with-a-final-verdict-before-resident-evil-4-remake/], which is slated to launch in March, is rumored to receive a major update at this event. Capcom has focused on PlayStation more than anything else when it comes to their survival horror remakes. And this time, too, we do not see any exceptions occurring. Fans may also finally witness what the Silent Hill 2 Remake will look like. Every single fan of this cult classic knows that this game holds a legacy on the PlayStation. So it makes sense that it ends up being a console exclusive for PS5.

This game is expected to be even darker than the original title from 2018. It is also said that it will have extreme photorealistic visuals. In simple words, every hardcore Spidey lover is eager to see what the team of Insomniac has been working on all these years. Other than the usual suspects, there are some titles that may receive an announcement. PSVR 2 MIGHT ALSO BE PART OF THIS SHOWCASE One must also not forget that Sony’s next-generation virtual reality headset will be launched next month. And it won’t be surprising at all if the company ends up showing more of it during the State of Play. Those interested in VR titles will be expecting to see a bunch of new PSVR2-based announcements as well. And yes, how can one forget the highly publicized PSVR2 version of Beat Saber?

<span style="font-weight: 400">Marvel's Spider-Man 2 by Insomniac Games is just around the corner. The much-awaited sequel to 2018's celebrated title Marvel's Spider-Man is set to take Sony's virtual spider verse to a whole new level. The Insomniac Games' developed giant is tipped to be the biggest superhero game ever made, which is saying something.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Being considered a strong contender for the Game of the Year, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has a lot of new innovations that the fans cannot wait to experience on their PlayStation next-gen console. The constant reveals have also hinted at a completely unpredictable narrative for all web heads out there. Let's take a look at everything there is to know.</span>
<h2><strong>When does Spider-Man 2 come out?</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The PlayStation exclusive will arrive on the PS5 on October 20, 2023. For those who have pre-ordered, preloads will start a week before the release.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The cost of the game's basic edition is $69.99. While the digital deluxe edition will cost $79.99. For this, players will get a digitally enhanced version of Spider-Man 2 that includes two extra in-game skill points, two additional photo mode items, and five additional, distinctive costumes for Miles and Peter Parker. For $229.99, Sony's online site also <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-spider-man-pre-orders-go-live-and-heres-everything-to-know-about-all-its-editions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offers a unique collector's edition</a> with a 19-inch statue of both wall crawlers battling Venom.</span>
<h2><strong>Story and Characters</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The story picks up almost a year after the events of 2020's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. New York will have 2 web slingers to overcome the hurdles of chaos and save the city, together! </span>

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-2075925 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Spider-Man-2-3.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="960" />

After the heroics of the first game and the subsequent Miles Morales expansion, Peter and Miles have a new chapter to their stories. With Peter reunited with his childhood best friend Harry Orsborn, it seems there is a new twist in the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man's story.

The map will be twice as big with Queens and Brooklyn added to the map, along with Coney Island. So there will be a lot more exploring and web-swinging for players.
<h3><strong>Protagonists</strong></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As revealed by devs and widely promoted as one of the biggest selling points of the game, Peter Parker and Miles Morales both will be playable protagonists. Both these characters will also make progress in their respective worlds as the story of the new installment unfolds. And for the first time, players will be able to cross paths with the other Spider-Man while playing as, well, Spider-Man.</span>
<h3><strong>Antagonists </strong></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400">While NYC will have 2 Spideys, it still won't be easy. The game will include the following villains:</span>

<strong>Venom: </strong>The infamous villain turned antihero will play a pivotal role in the game. The symbiote story was set up in Spider-Man (2018).

<strong>Lizard: </strong>Dr. Curt Connors will have made his transformation to the Lizard and will lose control. And as seen in the reveals, it will be up to Peter to help Connors.

<strong>Kraven:</strong> Kraven the hunter will make his way to New York for his biggest hunt yet! And while he's there to hunt Spider-Man, he will also be hunting the lizard as revealed in gameplay trailers.

<strong>Grizzly:</strong> Previously revealed in a story trailer, Grizzly will feature for the first time as well.

<strong>Mr Negative: </strong>Martin Li will also return to the game. While the extent of his role in the game is not known, one thing is for sure. Miles will get a chance to get closure for his father's death.

While these are the villains confirmed so far, there are more who will appear. They may not be pivotal to the main story but will be involved.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Wraith</strong>: Yuri, Peter's police buddy from the first game, will return.

 	<li><strong>Mysterio:</strong> The master of illusions was also teased in a recent reveal. However, it remains unknown how he fits into the story.</li>
