Tony Todd, the voice actor behind Venom in Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, revealed that the game will release sometime in September. It was previously only revealed that it would drop Fall 2023.
On Twitter, Todd posted a picture of himself working with motion capture. When someone exclaimed that they couldn’t wait for more details about Spider-Man 2, Todd responded with, “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.”

Sony did not respond to IGN's request for comment.
While this is far from a confirmation since Insomniac itself didn’t officially announce a release date, having the information coming from someone who is directly working on the game is worth noting.
Back in December 2022, Insomniac reassured fans that Spider-Man 2 would launch in 2023 for PlayStation 5, and Todd previously said that the “game is massive.” It’ll be interesting to see if Spider-Man 2 does indeed launch in September, as another big fall heavy hitter, Bethesda’s Starfield, also launches on September 6.
Spider-Man 2 will follow Peter Parker and Miles Morales on their most epic-single player adventure yet. Both Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales are available now on PC, PS4, and PS5.
In IGN’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales review, we said, “Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a fantastic follow-up, telling a wonderful story while improving upon the fundamentals of the first game.”
