Sony unveils Spider-man game at E3 expo

Sony has showcased a string of new video games for its PSVR virtual reality headset at the E3 expo in Los Angeles.

Sony unveiled a new Spider-man game for its Playstation video console at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles.

Spider-man, due for release in 2018, is being developed by Insomniac Games, the group behind PlayStation offerings such as Resistance and Ratchet & Clank.

"The future is here and it's now with PlayStation 4 Pro and PSVR," said Shawn Layden, president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment America, unveiling the Spider-man game.

Virtual reality (VR) is fast becoming the new battleground in the gaming world with developers seeking to win over fans with immersive headsets and accessories.

Sony said last week it had sold more than one million units of its virtual reality headset globally, and was boosting production.

Sony also announced the cult game Shadow of the Colossus will get a high-definition remake for PlayStation 4. This game and the next God of War edition are set to be released next year.
