ORIGINAL STORY: Sony and Insomniac have revealed that the first limited edition PS5 console is in-fact a Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 console. It’ll release with a special Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 DualSense controller in the box. Sony also has revealed that it will be releasing the face plates and DualSense controller separately.
All items will be available to pre-order next Friday (July 28th) and will release on September 21st.
The front cover of the PS5 features the symbiote tendrils getting closer to the Spider-Man icon, threatening to consume the last bit of red, whilst the back of the console has it completely bonded. The DualSense controller on the other hand has a larger portion of the controller taken over by the symbiote design.
“The design was inspired by the in-game symbiote that’s taking over the console and controller, but you can still see some of the underlying red under the tendrils. This represents the various ways players will experience the symbiote takeover in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s a constant push and pull for dominance whether it’s internal or external and the outcome is not certain.” said senior Art director Jacinda Chew
