PlayStation Showcase reveals Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 featuring favorite anti-villain Venom

Following weeks of rumors and leaks, Insomniac Games finally revealed the one thing that fans have waited to hear for a long time. The company announced the sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man, which became a massive success when it was released in 2018.
