The secret's out, and we're not talking about who's behind the mask (or in this case, the masks) of Spider-Man.

Picking up shortly after the events of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 doesn't take its sweet time holding your hand and telling you who you're playing. Insomniac Games know that you're diving into the follow-up knowing full well what's at stake - Peter Parker and Miles Morales find themselves battling for the safety of New York against a smorgasbord of villains, led by none other than Kraven the Hunter and Venom.

While spoilers of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 abound online, most still prefer to get their information drip from a legitimate information - reviews.

It's been said that confident developers will make the review copies of their game available earlier than most. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 found itself in the hands of critics and lucky players a little over three weeks before Marvel's Spider-Man 2 comes out on October 20. If that's not a sign of Insomniac's confidence in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, we don't know what is.

As for the review embargo of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the critics can lift the curtains off their hard-earned gameplay on October 16, which is a full four days before the game comes out.
