Although Insomniac’s upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Spider-Man game may not have an official title yet, it has been reported that the game will release later this year.

Reddit user GamingSince95 managed to capture this clip from a livestream yesterday, where Marvel vice president, Ryan Penagos stated that “there’s more on the horizon for 2017, like Spider-Man coming to PlayStation 4.”

Of course it is possible that the game doesn’t hit the 2017 expected release. Games get delayed all the time, and projects such as this one are not always directly related with people like Marvel’s vice president, so it would not be a total surprise if Penagos simply misstated information about the game.

When the game’s trailer was first shown at the Electronic Gaming Expo 2016 (E3), many speculated that the release was still a few years off, due to the trailer only being in-engine concept footage, and the game not having an official title. However, there is no telling how long the team at Insomniac has had the project in the works.

If the game is to release this year, I would bet we’ll see and hear more at E3 in June. Of course Marvel would probably prefer to have a brand new Spider-Man game release within months of Spider-Man: Homecoming, so perhaps the game really is coming this year. Because, you know, synergy.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced the upcoming Avalanche Software produced game, Cars 3: Driven to Win will release on June 13, the same day that DisneyPixar’s Cars 3 hits theaters.

The new game takes place immediately after the events of the movie and features an all-new story with both old and new characters. In the game’s story, Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez take on racing rival Jackson Storm throughout locals such as Radiator Springs and the Florida International Speedway. In total, the game will feature 20 different racing tracks and 13 different locations.

Players will be able to play six different modes including Stunt Showcase, Takedown, Best Lap Challenge, Race, Battle Race, and Playground. Additionally, players will be able to learn a variety of abilities like Drifting, Turbo, Two-wheel Driving, Side-Bash, and Driving Backwards. While it is unknown if the game will feature online racing, players will be able to engage in split-screen multiplayer.

Cars 3: Driven to Win will be Avalanche Software’s first game under the ownership of WB Games, and since the cancellation of the Disney Infinity series. While Driven to Win’s art style does not reflect the iconic style of Disney Infinity, the game does run in the Octane engine, which was used to create the Disney Infinity games.

Cars 3: Driven to Win will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, and yes, Nintendo Switch. Driven to Win is available now for pre-order and will cost the industry standard $59.99 on current generation hardware, while the PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U versions will be sold for $49.99.
