E3 2018: Every High-Profile Video Game Confirmed So Far

13. Spider-Man

The first of Sony's three "pillars" for the conference, Spidey is perhaps the game we know the most about.

A whole host of characters have been confirmed in trailers including Miles Morales and Mr. Negative, but we also have a New York featuring Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum and a Black Panther-teasing Wakandan Embassy.

Gameplay-wise, Insomniac have developed a totally physics-based web system - one that lets you treat Spidey's momentum like a laser-precision wrecking ball. It's very much a fan-focused project, taking major influence from the 2004 Spider-Man game that was the first to pioneer an open-world framework for the character's abilities.

In terms of combat we're getting an Arkham-like setup, but rolled together with such a great developer and years of potential worth capitalising on, this should be the best Spider-Man game yet.
