Fans were skeptical about the release of Spider-Man 2 for PS5 since the marketing has been pretty bare, but it looks like the PR team is now looking to remedy that.
Just in, new character posters have been dropped for the game; and besides Miles and Peter, we also have better looks at Kraven the Hunter, the Lizard, and the symbiote suit. Check these out:

It’s still unclear where exactly the symbiote comes from in this timeline, but if events from the first game are to be believed, a lot of fans speculate that it actually comes from Oscorp, and the Venom we see in the trailers isn’t Eddie Brock, but rather Harry Osborn.
While that’s considered to be a huge change in the lore of Spider-Man, the game timeline has not been shy about making any changes; that’s why they killed off Aunt May in the first game. Hopefully we get to see bunch more villains in the actual game, but some are guessing that they are saving the Green Goblin for a third Spider-Man title.
Then again, it would be great if we didn’t have to wait too long for GG, and the next game would just go full multiverse and have Peter and Miles jumping around alternate dimensions. We already know that Insomniac Spider-Man knows about the Spider-Verse, so it would be great if the games could also jump into that. Then again, that’s just my pitch. I’m pretty sure the writers at Insomniac already have things to set-up in mind.
Watch out for Spider-Man 2 when it launches for the PS5 on Oct. 20.
