Just when you thought that the previously announced (and oft-out-of-stock) Marvel's Spider-Man 2 themed PlayStation 5 bundles was it, Sony decided to double down on its upcoming exclusive.
As with previous AAA exclusives, Sony is releasing a new PS5 console bundle that comes with a copy of the much-awaited sequel on October 20.
This is different from the aforementioned special edition PS5 that featured custom-themed DualSense controllers and faceplates for the console. Instead, it will be a more plainly-designed PS5 console albeit with a copy of Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
Sony showed off the upcoming PS5 console bundle on social media accounts, confirming that the standard edition PS5 console will hit store shelves on the same day that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 swings into action. Sony didn't initially include a price for the bundle at the time of its announcement.
After Baldur's Gate 3 and Starfield enjoyed the spotlight, it's time for Peter Parker and Miles Morales to crawl and swing into action for the PlayStation. Unlike Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which had featured Peter Parker and Miles Morales, respectively, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will see both in action simultaneously. While it isn't a co-op game, Insomniac Games designed the sequel so that the two Spider-Man have complementary abilities. It will also borrow a popular mechanic from Grand Theft Auto V by letting players switch between Peter and Miles on the fly. Finally, Insomniac has confirmed that the "other" Spider-Man will swing around all over the city and stop crime while players are busy doing their own thing.
