When it comes to special edition consoles, Sony rarely fails to hit the mark. Back when Bloodborne was first released, it came with a beautiful special edition PlayStation 4. Similarly, with the release of certain console-based exclusives, Sony brought out consoles that represented the game in an incredible way. It did so with Spider-Man 2, announcing a mix of Spider-Man’s and Venom’s colors. However, it might have revealed more than it may have wanted to.

After the reveal of the Spider-Man 2 PlayStation 5 console, some fans took a deeper look at the device. Much to their surprise, it looks like the console may have a spoiler about Miles’ strength when it comes to fighting the Venom symbiote in-game.

Once news broke of Spider-Man 2’s PS5 console, fans could not get enough of it. A wonderful blend of Spider-Man and Venom, the console looked like the perfect addition to the gaming setup. After people took a moment from marveling at how it looked, they realized the console could have just revealed a massive plot point for the game.

The trailer for the console shows the Venom symbiote covering the PS5 as Peter calls out to Miles for help. Little jolts of electricity are visible, pushing the symbiote back slightly. As it continues to cover the console, an eruption of Miles’ Venom electricity power drives back Venom.

Initially, people did not seem to notice this, but once they started, it looked fairly obvious. It seems Insomniac may have just revealed Venom’s weakness to electricity, specifically to Miles’ electrical superpower. Fans began drawing parallels between the trailer and the game, with the PS5 representing Peter. Miles is helping Peter resist the effects of the symbiote by providing jolts of electricity to repel it.

As seen in the gameplay trailer, Peter looks to be affected by the symbiote, making him more angry and aggressive. Could Miles’ electricity powers be what makes the difference in removing the bond between Peter and the symbiote? Whether Insomniac intended the reveal is unknown, but it does bring an interesting perspective to the story.

Miles is set to play a crucial role in Spider-Man 2

With the Miles Morales game, Miles really came into his own as Spider-Man, which makes his part in the sequel all that more important. With the relationship he has with Peter, he will be instrumental in bringing Peter away from the effects of the symbiote.

Apart from this, the presence of Miles seems reassuring for Peter, as he has someone to share the workload with. It is not easy being Spider-Man, after all. An extra hand would take Peter places and that is precisely where Miles comes in. It will be interesting to see their dynamic over the course of the sequel. Once the game finally releases on October 20th, it will all be revealed!
