Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 PS5 release window may have been outed by one of the game’s writers. Hawk-eyed Twitter user EvanFilarca spotted an entry for Spider-Man 2 on writer Jamie Mayer’s personal website. According to the screenshot making rounds online, Mayer mentioned a “Fall 2023” release window for the game.
How likely is a Fall 2023 release window for Spider-Man 2 PS5?
This “leak” may come as a disappointment to some, but we’d advise not jumping the gun. For starters, it’s entirely possible that Mayer was simply guessing and a Fall 2023 release window was a rough idea.
BREAKING NEWS FOR MARVEL’S SPIDER-MAN 2!!! One of the Insomniac writers working on the game, @heavymeta3000, has seemingly confirmed on her personal website that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be RELEASING IN FALL 2023!!! Makes sense, since that’s when the past games launched! pic.twitter.com/wAyEjfypy6

Secondly, it appears that mere minutes after EvanFilarca’s tweet, the writer updated her website and scrubbed any mention of a release window. Since I haven’t been able to find a cached page or a web archive entry, I can’t confirm whether the screenshot is legit or not. I also haven’t found anyone corroborating the tweet above. That said, the Twitter user did tag Mayer in their tweet so we may find out sooner rather than later if the screenshot is real.
From the looks of things, we’ll have some Spider-Man 2 news soon, so stay tuned.
