'Spider-Man' PS4: December 2017 Release Date Not Happening; New Video Teases In-Game Footage
Vivian E.It seems like fans would have to continue the long wait before "Spider-Man" hits the shelves. Rumor has it that the eagerly anticipated title will not see the light until 2018.
Recently, a retailing video game website GameStop claimed that "Spider-Man" will be released for PlayStation 4 on Dec. 26, 2017.

Not long after the news made the rounds on the web, the game developer itself was keen to dismiss the claims. Insomniac Games stressed that there will be no release date announcement yet as the game is still in its early stages.
"That's a placeholder. No release date right now," Express quoted an Insomniac spokesperson as saying, responding to a screengrab of the GameStop release date listing. "All we said was there was no release date... Likely not going to announce one anytime soon."
Nonetheless, a recently released video has provided fans a quick glimpse at an early version of "Spider-Man." It even teased of a potential new feature that players can further explore.
