Spider-Man is easily one of the most anticipated games of 2018, it's developed by industry veterans Insomniac Games and is a major exclusive for PlayStation 4. Sony has yet to announce an official release date but the game was expected to launch Q1/Q2 2018, but, according to a Swedish retailer, fans may have to wait just a bit longer.
The retailer, Coolshop, has listed the game for with a release date of September 28th, 2018. At first glance, this could simply be a placeholder date, but in most cases, placeholders are either the last day of the season or the last day of the year. It's also worth noting that this date falls on a Friday which is a typical day in the U.S for new games to hit the shelves.
God of War has a release date of April 20th, 2018. With this in mind, it is possible that Sony has saved Spider-Man for an Autumn release date, they wouldn't want their babies fighting after all and there is still no word about a release date for Days Gone. Sony has a lot of exclusives lined up for 2018 so it would make perfect sense to space the release of these titles out accordingly so that they don't cut into each other's sales.
Of course, take all of this with a grain of salt as there is no further evidence to back up this release date and until we hear from Sony and Insomniac nothing is concrete.
What do you guys think? Do you think this date is accurate and Spider-Man will have an Autumn release date?
