The highly successful and popular superhero title could be getting a sequel, and it is anticipated to arrive sooner. In 2018, the gaming industry got one of the best superhero games after many years with "Spider-Man" developed by Insomnia Games. The game was a success that a sequel ("Spider-Man 2") is inevitable, but it appears that it is arriving sooner than we expected.
In the recent "Kinda Funny" podcast, former Senior Editor of the popular site game Informer, Imran Khan shared some details he has gotten from sources. The information is about the sequel of the successful superhero video title "Spider-Man" arriving as early as 2021. The sequel might arrive as the big holiday offering of Sony in 2021.
If the rumors end up panning, "Spider-Man 2" might be the big early showcase for the PlayStation 5, considering that the first year of Sony's next-generation gaming console will be cross-generation heavy. For those who have not yet played the game, it is now exclusively available on PlayStation 4 so you could enjoy the superhero game before Insomniac releases "Spider-Man 2" a few years from now.
While Sony has not yet confirmed any games are releasing on the PlayStation 5 at launch or later down the road, "Spider-Man 2" is some sort of a highlight, the company would emphasize at the PS5 launch event, hopefully. The Japanese gaming giant is rumored to hold a special PlayStation event as early as Feb 2020. The most likely venue of a grand "Spider-Man 2" reveal would be at E3 2020 in summer.
Considering that Microsoft is also launching the Xbox Scarlett and Sony is launching PlayStation 5 in the holiday of 2020, the E3 2020 is going to be a massive event that Sony would not miss out. The predecessor of "Spider-Man 2" has already sold 13.2 million units worldwide. The open-world title has bagged an impressive sales as of Jul. 28, 2019.
The predecessor of "Spider-Man 2" has been a massive success since it was officially released by Sony and Insomniac Games in Sept. 2018. The July sales of "Spider-Man" has already surpassed the sales of "Batman: Arkham City," which is the highest-selling superhero game in the US. "Spider-Man" has been so successful that Japanese developer Square Enix would like to replicate it with the upcoming title, "Marvel's Avengers."
Please take note that the details about "Spider-Man 2" are not official, and in this case, we suggest taking it with a pinch of salt.
