Fans waiting for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 have finally cracked, with the community going full-Elden Ring at the moment. The wait is proving too much to bear for some players, with one element of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's marketing strategy leaving many players on the edge of their seats wanting more.
The hype has been building for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for a while now, and fans are undoubtedly excited to see what Insomniac has in store for players. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 recently received a launch window update from Sony, confirming that the game remains on track for a 2023 release, but confusion is starting to set in for a lot of players. With the game first revealed in 2021, there has been a lot of radio silence about it. This has inevitably led to a slew of rumors about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and its development, which are never helpful to anyone.
The community over on Reddit has seemingly given up on any sort of constructive conversation about potential features in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. They have been practically starved of content by Insomniac and Sony, instead taunted by an image of Peter and Miles side-by-side. This image was first released in 2021, and to date remains one of the few pieces of marketing from the game, still being pushed by the developer to this day. The community has responded with a bunch of hilarious memes, photoshopping this same screenshot of Peter and Miles into various other franchises. They're getting creative too - Redditor Grey_Warden0231 decided to show the pair off as Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars.
It didn't stop there. The subreddit is now filled with images of Peter and Miles edits, each as hilarious as the last. Redditor RecordingJust1021 took another approach, showing the duo as Mario and Luigi. Everywhere in the subreddit seems to be filled with many of the best gaming duos of all time. It's unknown when this will come to an end, but there's no sign of it yet. It will presumably take a new trailer to drop before gamers revert to normality, and this could be a while yet.
It's unknown when Insomniac plans to showcase more from the upcoming game. The developer of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 recently asked for patience from anxious fans, but this recent development shows patience is running thin at the moment. No date has been given for a PlayStation showcase, but one could happen around June, around the time of Summer Game Fest 2023.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to release in 2023 on PS5.
