While there are plenty of knownAAA PS5 games in development, there are some games that haven’t been confirmed that fans know have to be getting games.Spider-Manon PS4, itsMiles Moralesfollow-up, and the teases in each game show how the Webhead’s tenure on the platform is far from over.
In fact, if all goes well, it could be thatSpider-Manserves as the final card in Sony’s 2022 deck. It seemsSony is going all-in with 2022releases, as it’s been reported thatHorizon: Forbidden Westhas been delayed to Q1 2022. The wait for it isn’t that much longer, and that’s a good way to kick off the year.God of Waris set to follow some time next year, and there’s plenty of room for Spidey to swing in for the holidays, giving some of Sony’s biggest IPs all new releases next year.

Is Spider-Man 2 on PS5 in Development?
The simple answer is that it is unconfirmed, but it’s clear that Insomniac has anotherSpider-Manentry in mind. The teases at the end of both games suggest that the Osborns have something big building, that the Lizard may crop up, Green Goblin is especially likely, andSpider-Manfans may even encounter Venom in some form. While neither Sony nor Insomniac have mentioned anything on it, it’s almost a sure bet that it’s in some state of development.
That’s especially true considering a since-deleted social media post from Nadji Jeter,theMiles Moralesactor in Spider-Manand his titular sequel, showed him in mocap gear. It could be for anything, but the safest bet once again seems to beSpider-Man 2. And while this may seem surprising sinceSpider-Manreleased in 2018 andMiles Moralesreleased in 2020, Insomniac Games has been putting out titles practically every year.Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apartjust released this year, for example, and it’s likely that thisSpider-Mansequel was in proper development before evenMiles Moralesreleased.
Spider-Man 2 Releasing on PS5 in 2022?
Insomniac’s release schedule would suggest that a game is releasing in 2022, and while nothing has been revealed yet, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear about the game later this year/early next year. A Holiday 2022 release (especially with PS5 bundles) would mimic the initial release ofSpider-Manin 2018. Not to mention,a newSpider-Mangameevery two years (2018, 2020, 2022) is not only possible, but somewhat poetic.
Of course, this is all speculation. There’s no promise that Jeter was posting mocap for Miles Morales, there’s no promise Insomniac started as early as it could, and there’s no promise the game is as far along as one hopes. However, if the stars align,Spider-Man 2could release in 2022. It’s not the surest best, as there are many variables, but it’s one many may be willing to take.
FollowingHorizon Forbidden WestandGod of Waris not a task for any typical Sony IP; it’s a job only befitting the Webheads, Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
