Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has arrived in Malaysia thanks to a new ad campaign for PlayStation 5. Over the past few months, Sony has been releasing impressive live-action/CGI hybrid commercials as part of its“Live From PS5” promotion, which depicts various strange events taking place all across the globe in connection to first-party PS5 titles likeGod of War RagnarokandHorizon Forbidden West.
One of the many blockbuster games featured in the ongoing Live From PS5 ad campaign isMarvel’s Spider-Man 2, which is set to swing onto PlayStation 5 consoles sometime later this year. Official plot details for Insomniac’s next open-world superhero action title have been scarce so far, but it has been confirmed that Peter Parker and Miles Morales will finally face off against the dreaded Venom after the past twoMarvel’s Spider-Mangames teased the Symbiote in their post-credits scenes. An exact release date forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2hasn’t been confirmed yet, but Insomniac has revealed that it should come in the fall.

While fans are still waiting for anewMarvel’s Spider-Man 2trailerafter the game’s last showing in 2021, Sony is showing off Spidey’s upcoming gaming adventure in Malaysia. As part of the Live From PS5 ad campaign, aMarvel’s Spider-Man 2exhibit is being displayed at Lot 10 in Kuala Lumpur from March 1 to March 14. It features a red Volkswagen Corrado covered in Spider-Man’s signature webbing and a large LED sign promotingMarvel’s Spider-Man 2and the PlayStation 5.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2isn’t the only thing being shown off at this event, as there will also be hands-on booths for fans to trythe once hard-to-get PlayStation 5out for themselves. Sony is also giving away PS5-branded merchandise to the first 100 visitors who visit the newMarvel’s Spider-Man 2display and share photos of it on social media under the hashtag “LivefromPS5MY.” Lastly, the Sony Store in Lalaport, Malaysia will have a PlayStation VR 2 setup - allowing players to demo the newest PlayStation VR peripheral after it launched late last month.
Malaysia rarely sees video game ad campaigns on the caliber of Live From PS5 (save for a similarpromotion forGod of War Ragnarokbefore its own release last fall), making this latestMarvel’s Spider-Man 2set-up all the more noteworthy. With Sony now ramping up its promotion forMarvel’s Spider-Man 2all around the world, a more exact release date for the upcoming superhero action title could be just around the corner.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is expected to release in the Fall of 2023 on PS5.
