You Can Ride A Spider-Man Subway Train In New York City

If you live or plan in to visit the New York City area, you can take part in a special bit of promotion for the upcoming Spider-Man PS4 game from Insomniac. Community manager James Stevenson has shared photos of the Times Square Shuttle, the subway car that has been decked out with a special paint job to celebrate the wall-crawler.

The images show a subway car emblazoned in bright red with a giant Spidey portrait on one side. The interior is just as bright, with the same red color scheme, posters advertising the game, Spider-Man logos on each seat, Daily Bugle ads, and a Daily Bugle paper printed onto one of the seats.

Stevenson’s tweet didn’t specify just how long the special train will run, but it’s a smart bet it will go at least until the game’s release date on September 7. If you plan on visiting Manhattan before then, you may want to head towards the Times Square subway stop and see if you can catch it.

Our first few hours with Spider-Man show good reason for the proverbial (and now literal) hype train. Aside from some reservations about the dated tower-climbing mechanic, it has a lot going for it. The launch trailer recently showed even more signature Spidey action beats. Check out our pre-order guide for more details.
