Today’s Playstation Showcase dropped some very big news and reveal trailers for several games coming to the PS5. Though many of those are some highly anticipated games it’s all about the comic book themed ones here!
Now we haven’t seen a solo Wolverine game since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine from Activision and Raven Software. So now Insomniac Games is ready to throw us back into an adamantium laced world of blood and claws in Marvel’s Wolverine!
Since the game is still in early development there’s not much in the way of story details as of yet. However, there’s several easter eggs scattered in the trailer for the keen eyed comic fan!
Next up is the highly anticipated Spider-Man 2! The official sequel to Playsation 4’s Spider-Man game which was followed by Spider-Man: Miles Morales last year. Aside from the impressive visuals of the PS5, the real gem comes from the voiceover happening during all of the action and what it means for the new villain in the game. Pretty sure you’ll guess who it is when you hear it. Now if that wasn’t enough to pique you interest, Spider-Man’s favorite symbiote frenemy shows up as well and he’s voiced by the one and only Tony Todd! Yes, Candyman himself, the man who voiced Mortal Kombat 11’s Noob Saibot along with Darksied and so many more is now the voice of Venom!
The trailer does show a team-up move between Peter and Miles and hopefully this means there’s some possible co-op gameplay coming to the Spider-Man franchise from Insomniac when this debuts on Playstation 5.
Last up is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy from Square Enix and Eidos Montreal. The game actually debuts next month on October 26th and the new trailer is heavy on the action and the quips.
Trailer description via Square Enix:
Today, Eidos-Montréal has released a new trailer detailing the out-of-this-world narrative adventure that awaits in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Set in the wake of an epic conflict known as the Galactic War, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy invites players to walk a lightyear in Peter Quill’s jet boots and lead his band of misfit heroes-for-hire across the cosmos in search of glory, riches and a way out of whatever mess they’ve gotten themselves into this time.
In the new trailer, Grand Unifier Raker brings Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Rocket and Groot to the Universal Church of Truth, where the Guardians bear witness to a cult-like ritual before the mysterious Matriarch. Grand Unifier Raker states that the Matriarch wishes to share with them a truth — one that can supposedly end all grief and suffering. In true Guardians’ fashion, things go spectacularly sideways and they somehow manage to get half the galaxy on their back… The Guardians will have to step up and show what they are made of to save the Galaxy.
The video also features appearances by characters including the Xandarian Worldmind, as well as everyone’s favorite telepathic Russian space dog, Cosmo.
