Eddie Brock will not be Venom in the video game, explanations

If the PlayStation Showcase 15 days ago had already made it possible to discover a large segment of gameplay from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Sony Interactive Entertainment had reserved its game’s release date for the Summer Game Fest. Perky, Geoff Keighley was therefore able to formalize the arrival of the game for October 20 on PS5 exclusively. But that’s not all, the collectors editions were also revealed last night, allowing us to see that we can enjoy a beautiful figurine of Venom fighting against Peter Parker and Miles Morales. Moreover, we have learned that the Insomniac Games studio has made some changes to the side of the character of Venom, since it is not Eddie Brock who will be under the costume. A good way to surprise players and readers of comic books a little more and to be entitled to real new scripts. Other villains have also been validated in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, including Lizard, Kraven, and other antagonists who threaten New York.

The Digital Deluxe Edition of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ($89.99) will include the game, all pre-order bonuses, plus 10 exclusive costumes (5 for Peter, 5 for Miles), stickers and additional frames for the photo mode, as well as 2 more skill points. But that’s not all, no less than 10 costumes have been designed especially for the game and are the result of close collaboration with artists from the worlds of comics, cinema and PlayStation Studios, including: Kris Anka , Julia Blattman, Sweeney Boo, Anthony Francisco, Raf Grassetti, Jerad Maantz, Joel Mandish, Darren Quach and Victoria Ying!

The Collector’s Edition ($249.99) includes a coupon for the Digital Deluxe Edition, plus a Steelbook case and a stunning 19-inch statuette, featuring our Spider-Men battling the fan-favorite villain : Venom. The Collector’s Edition will be available for pre-order on PlayStation Direct from 10:00 a.m. on June 16, 2023 (if you live in the following countries: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Austria , Spain, Portugal).
