New Spider-Man 2 SDCC trailer gives us our first full look at Venom

I like being bad. It makes me happy.

This year’s San Diego Comic-Con may be scaled down from years past with the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any news out of the show. With television shows and movies taking a backseat this year, that means the spotlight can finally return to the one thing that lives at the heart of SDCC. I am of course talking about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The upcoming action-adventure game is just a couple of months away, and today at SDCC, we got a brand new story trailer that gives us a good look at perennial favorite Venom.

This wasn’t the only big Spidey announcement today. Sony also revealed it’s releasing a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2-themed PlayStation 5 console bundle, complete with a custom controller and custom console covers. The bundle will also include a voucher for the digital version of the game even though this limited edition PS5 is fully capable of playing discs.

A far younger version of me would be pretty stoked to put something like this up in my apartment. Current me would rather all of his furniture match.

If already own a PS5 and would like to upgrade to the Spider-Man console covers, Sony will be selling them separately for both the standard PS5 and the Digital Edition. The same goes for the Spider-Man 2 DualSense controller. Pre-orders begin July 28 on the PlayStation website and at select retailers. The console bundle, covers, and DualSense controller will release on September 1. If you do order the full bundle, know that it comes with a couple of in-game perks, including early access to two suits and an early unlock of the Web Grabber gadget.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases exclusively for PlayStation 5 on October 20, 2023.
