Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 comes out in a month, and Insomniac Games has announced that the game has already gone gold.
As a reminder of what "going gold" actually means, it's basically that a game has finished the final stage of development and is ready to be released. Insomniac Games announced that Spider-Man 2 has gotten to this point with a post on X/Twitter today, complete with a video of voice actors Nadji Jeter (Miles Morales), Yuri Lowenthal (Peter Parker), Laura Bailey (Mary Jane Watson), and Tony Todd (Venom) expressing their excitement.

“Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has officially GONE GOLD!” Insomniac said in a statement at the end of the video. “We’re thrilled to share this milestone achievement with our studio and collaborators at PlayStation and Marvel Games, and with our incredible community around the world. We can’t wait for you to experience what ‘ever been cooking up on October 20th!”
Spider-Man 2 going gold comes nearly a week after Insomniac and Marvel Games dropped a new gameplay trailer during the latest Sony State of Play livestream. The new trailer showed off more than 65 new Spider-suits inspired by the comics, movies, and original designs, as well as an expanded map of New York City. New activities and storylines within the open world — along with visual cues that help point you in their direction — teased new villains that will show up alongside Venom and Kraven the Hunter.
Speaking of Spider-suits, the Digital Deluxe Edition of Spider-Man 2 includes five new suits each for Peter and Miles. For Peter, that includes the 25th Century Suit, Apunkalyptic Suit, Tactical Suit, Aurantia Suit, and the Stone Monkey Suit. Miles gets the Tokusatsu Suit, Encoded Suit, Agimat Suit, Red Spectre Suit, and Biomechanical Suit.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 releases Oct. 20.
