Spider-Man 2: PS5 Announcement Reveals New Villain
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to be released in Fall 2023, but the marketing campaign is only just beginning. Following the explosive reveal in September 2021’s PlayStation Showcase, fans only got either little or no information regarding the sequel to 2018’s massive-hit Spider-Man and its follow-up, the 2020-released Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
The upcoming game will see both Peter Parker and Miles Morales team up to save New York City from various new threats. One of the chief aspects of the game is the apperance of the highly anticipated Venom, who will be essayed by legendary voice actor Tony Todd, and Kraven the Hunter, whose voice was heard in the 2021 reveal where he seemed to be offering a challenge to Peter, Miles, and possibly Venom.
As fans crave for what Insomniac Games has in store for Spider-Man 2, a new PS5 announcement regarding the upcoming game’s prequel comic has hinted at and teased a new villain named Parker Robbins, aka The Hood.
The Hood Teased as a Villain For Spider-Man 2 via a New Prequel Comic
As mentioned above, a new comic book announcement hinted at The Hood as a villain for Spider-Man 2. This announcement comes from a post on the PlayStation Blog, which reveals an upcoming tie-in comic book for the hotly anticipated game.
Jon Paquette, the narrative director at Insomniac Games, stated that the team over at Insomniac had explored multiple ideas on what to adapt for the prequel comic of Spider-Man 2. He then stated that the comic seeked to answer the question of how Peter, Miles, and MJ would fight against a villain, whose powers they knew little to nothing about.
Whether The Hood will actually make the jump from the tie-in comic Insomniac Spider-Man universe to the Spider-Man 2 game remains to be seen.
