It looks like Tony Todd’s at it again! The voice actor for Venom in the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has somewhat casually leaked information about the game in the past, and now he may have let slip the release window for the anticipated title.
“Looks like September! Massive publicity coming in august. Commercials start dropping in august so I’m told. Hold on to your … and hold breath! Gonna be necessary.”
It may seem odd for Tony Todd to just out and reveal a Spider-Man 2 release window like this, but Hollywood actors play by different rules than most of the gaming industry and don’t seem to be as concerned about embargoes. Let’s not forget the multiple times Norman Reedus let slip that Death Stranding 2 was happening. Todd has doubled down on his leak of the Spider-Man 2 release date in further tweets, so it doesn’t seem like this was a mistake or bad wording. Actors, whattaya gonna do?
Of course, still take this with a grain of salt until Sony makes it official. That said, a September Spider-Man 2 release wouldn’t be that surprising, as Sony itself has already said the game is coming sometime this fall. September is definitely on the early end of what you might consider “fall,” but it would still fit. Here’s what Sony had to say back in December…
“Speaking of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, let’s kick things off with some exciting news from developer Insomniac Games confirming the release window for the web-slinging sequel. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches on PS5 in fall 2023. Following the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the Spider-duo of Peter Parker and Miles Morales are back in the next blockbuster action chapter of the Marvel’s Spider-Man series. Much is still to be revealed about the game, and going off the quality of the past two titles, we’re bound to be in for a fantastic new original Spider-Man adventure.”
What do you think? Does Venom have the goods? For now, all we know for sure is that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches on PS5 in fall of 2023.
