The recent gameplay trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 contained a set of random numbers that may have revealed the game's release date to be November 20, 2023. However, the trailer only provided a broad fall 2023 release window, which has left some fans wondering if the game will be delayed into 2024. Previously, Venom's voice actor had mentioned that marketing for the game would begin in August ahead of a September release date, but it's unclear if this information is still accurate. If true, it wouldn't be surprising for Sony or Insomniac to delay the release by a few months to capitalize on the holiday shopping season.
The number sequence 201123 was first noticed by YouTuber AndyReloads in the Spider-Man 2 trailer. It appears faintly on the Hummer when Peter lands on an enemy vehicle and the game switches to Miles Morales. The sequence translates to November 20, 2023, but its purpose raises questions. It seems unusual to hide a release date in a trailer, especially if Sony had a more elaborate marketing strategy planned for the game. Additionally, it's odd for the hidden release date to be in British formatting since Insomniac Games' studios are based in North Carolina and California. Furthermore, most video games release on a Tuesday or Friday, but November 20 is a Monday. Although these details could be explained away, the sequence holds potential caveats that make it intriguing. The relevant portion of the video is around the 1:20-time mark.
Fans of the Spider-Man game franchise are eagerly anticipating the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which promises to be an exciting journey with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters. The ability to seamlessly switch between these two heroes is a major selling point that has fans buzzing with excitement. While the official release date has yet to be confirmed by Sony and Insomniac, rumors suggest that the game will be hitting shelves in Fall 2023, giving fans plenty of time to prepare for the adventure ahead.
