The Pokemon Company has announced the release of the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet 151 set, featuring all 151 Pokemon originally discovered in the Kanto region. The set includes over 160 cards, 12 new Pokemon ex, and more than 10 Trainer cards, and will be released in September.
According to journalist Jason Schreier, Insomniac's highly anticipated sequel to 2018's Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, may be releasing this September. The game's voice actor for Venom claimed that Spider-Man 2 would be launching on PlayStation 5 in September, and a September release would make sense based on the release schedule for this year. Spider-Man 2 will feature Peter Parker teaming up with Miles Morales against Venom and is said to be darker in tone compared to its prequel.
Venom voice actor Tony Todd hinted on Twitter that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is planned to release in September on PS5, with a massive ad campaign planned for the month prior. While this information isn't particularly surprising, it's still exciting news for fans of the franchise. It's important to note that just because a September release date is planned internally, doesn't mean the game will hit it. Additionally, Sony's revamped PS5 hardware model is also apparently scheduled to release in September, making it a potentially huge month for the console.
Actor Tony Todd, who plays Venom in Insomniac-developed Spider-Man 2, has claimed on social media that the game is aiming for a September release, which aligns with what publishing sources had previously told VGC. The release window could put it up against Xbox’s Starfield, but Todd’s wording suggests that the window isn’t set in stone. Spider-Man 2 is described as “everything you love” about the first game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales “but more” and will feature multiple foes and characters from the previous games. Insomniac Games is also working on a standalone Wolverine game for PS5.
