Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Ever since, Spider-Man: Miles Morales came out and shined, people started speculating about the possible release of Spider-Man 2, and here is a good news. Sony and Insomniac have released the first trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man 2 for PS5. It will come out in 2023.
In the trailer, we see Peter Parker and Miles Morales are fighting against some random goons. They make a good team and do some really cool moves. It would be fantastic if either we are able to switch between characters like GTA V or there is a co-op gameplay mode.
Also in the trailer, we get to see Venom. Spoilers for those who have not played the first Spider-Man (2018), by the end of the game we get an idea of possible appearance of Venom in Spider-Man 2.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Insomniac has already been going places with Spider-Man Franchise. Now, the studio has revealed about its next big venture apart from Spider-Man 2 from the Marvel universe and, it has simply been titled Wolverine. At this stage we don’t have much information about the game apart from, the fact that Logan has very hairy arms. wears a hat and looks as cool as he should, sitting in a bar after putting some smart asses down who trying to act funny with him.
Given the studio’s track record, a highly action packed MCU style narrative can be expected.
God of War: Ragnarok
The trailer of the game we all had been desperately waiting for is finally out. Santa Monica has finally revealed a complete story trailer of God of War: Ragnarok, and there is some much to collect from the trailer. And from what we can make out from the trailer, Atreus is desperately curious, and wants to understand who he is more than anything. Kratos, still bearing the knowledge of his past mistakes, wants to spare Atreus the bloody lessons he learned from his conflict with gods. And of course, a death battle between Thor and Kratos is something we are all looking forward to.
Forspoken
A new trailer for Forspoken was also revealed at Sony PlayStation Showcase 2021, giving a closer look at the story of Luminous Productions’ debut action-adventure.
According to the trailer, Frey appears to have a very difficult life, but it gets even crazier as she gets teleported from Holland Tunnel to the fantasy world of Athia.
