Spider-Man Coming in 2018
Yesterday we told you about some brand new details about the highly anticipated Spider-Man title. Now, through a resetera thread discussing possible Days Gone release dates, many fans noticed the upcoming title was noticeable absent from the showcased titles in PlayStation graphic of 2018. Don’t fret though, as it may have just been confirmed that Spider-Man will be released this year.
One “verified” user titled a Developer at Insomniac Games, Jstevenson, simply stated that “Spider-Man is 2018”. Jstevenson, we have learned, is one James Stevenson, Community Director at Insomniac Games. Stevenson was quick to respond to another user’s claim that Spider-Man would slip into 2019 in the same thread. Stevenson also confirmed this 2018 date to a user on Twitter. As the Community Director at Insomniac Games, Stevenson is very likely privy to the state of the game and its estimated time of release. He makes it clear that the title is on-track for 2018. Although release dates can shift for plenty of reasons, there is no reason not to expect this title in our hands later this year.

A couple weeks ago, Design Director at Insomniac Games, Brian Horton had finished his third play through of Spider-Man. This came during Insomniac Games’ two-day long playtest of the title to start the new year. This leads us to believe that the game is at least in a state to complete from start to finish.
