Spider-Man: Miles Morales

The narrative continues from Marvel's Spider-Man and its downloadable content The City That Never Sleeps, during which Miles Morales is bitten by a genetically-enhanced spider and gains spider-like powers similar to Peter Parker's. A year after the first game and its DLC, Miles has fully integrated himself into the black and red suit and fights criminals as an experienced Spider-Man, showcasing his superpowers. He defends his hometown, Harlem, from a gang war between an energy corporation and a high-tech criminal army. Parker tells Miles that he has to be like his late father and walk on the path to becoming a hero for the city of New York.[1][2]

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is being developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5.[3][4] Sony Vice President Simon Rutter told The Telegraph that the game was "an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game".[5] However, Insomniac later called the project a stand-alone game, stating that it is "the next adventure in the Marvel's Spider-Man universe".[6] It is smaller in size and scope than Spider-Man, and has been compared to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a game that was smaller in size and scope than a mainline Uncharted title.[5][6][7] The game will feature "a new story, with new set-pieces, fresh villains, and unique quests",[2] and will take advantage of the PlayStation 5's ray-tracing hardware to support real-time ray tracing effects.[8]

The game was announced on June 11, 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event. It is due to be released in Q4 2020 alongside the release of the PlayStation 5.[3][9]
