Synopsis

See also: Peter Parker (Insomniac Games character)

The narrative continues from where Marvel's Spider-Man and its downloadable content The City That Never Sleeps left off, during which Miles Morales was bitten by a genetically-enhanced spider and gained powers similar to Peter Parker's. A year after the first game's conclusion, Morales has trained under Parker and has fully integrated himself into the role of a Spider-Man, though he has yet to gain the experience. He must balance supporting his mother's campaign for City Council and defending both his new home in Harlem and the rest of New York City from a gang war between the Roxxon Energy Corporation and a high-tech criminal army called the Underground, led by the Tinkerer.[1] Parker tells Morales that he has to be like his late father and walk on the path to becoming a hero for the city of New York.[2][3][4]

Development

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[5][6][7] Sony vice president Simon Rutter told The Telegraph that the game is "an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game".[8] However, Insomniac later called the project a standalone game, stating that it is "the next adventure in the Marvel's Spider-Man universe".[9] It is smaller in size and scope than Spider-Man, and has been compared to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, a game which served as a standalone expansion that was smaller in size and scope than a mainline Uncharted title.[8][9][10]

The game features "a new story, with new set-pieces, fresh villains, and unique quests".[3] For the PlayStation 5 version, the game will take advantage of the console's increased processing power, dedicated ray-tracing hardware, custom solid-state drive storage, Tempest Engine and DualSense controller to support features such as advanced haptic feedback, real-time ray tracing effects, 3D spatial audio and reduced loading times.[11][12][13] The PlayStation 5 version of Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will also support high dynamic range and an optional "performance mode" that will allow the game to run at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.[14][15]

On October 9, 2020, Insomniac Games announced via Twitter that the game had "gone gold", meaning that physical copies of the game were ready to be produced, with any further development being patched into the game through software updates.[16]

Release

The game was announced on June 11, 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event as a launch title.[5][17][18] It is set to be released worldwide on November 12, 2020 for PlayStation 4, with the PlayStation 5 version releasing in North America and Oceania on that date; a week later, it will be released worldwide for the PlayStation 5.[7] The game will be available in numerous editions. The standard edition includes only the base game, and supports a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version if the PlayStation 4 version is owned. The Ultimate Edition is available for the PlayStation 5, bundling together the base game and Spider-Man: Remastered.[7] Launch variants of all editions are available in North America, and these variants feature instant access to the following; the T.R.A.C.K. suit, an additional second suit, three extra skill points and a Gravity Well Gadget. All of these bonus items will be available throughout the course of the game to those who did not purchase the pre-order bonuses.[19][20]

Tie-in media

On October 7, 2020, Marvel Games revealed a prequel novel, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Wings of Fury, which will be published on November 10, 2020 and is written by Brittney Morris. The novel follows Miles coming to terms with what it means to be Spider-Man. He is left questioning everything when Vulture and his accomplice Starling release experimental tech onto New York City. Also announced was Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales - The Art of the Game by Matt Ralphs, which is set for a release in February 2021. It features a collection of concept art, in-game renderings, and insights from the artists and Insomniac Games.[21]
