Insomniac’s Spider-Man has been one of the PS4’s best-selling (and best-reviewed) games since it launched in 2018. Sony was so impressed, that they even cracked open their piggy bank to purchase the studio last August.
A sequel felt inevitable, and we finally got our first look at it during today’s Future of Gaming event. But rather than focus on Peter Parker, the PlayStation Blog confirms that Spider-Man: Miles Morales will put the spotlight on a different webhead:
Spider-Man: Miles Morales from Insomniac Games and Marvel
The latest adventure in the Spider-Man universe will build on and expand Marvel’s Spider-Man through an all-new story. Players will experience the rise of Miles Morales as he masters new powers to become his own Spider-Man. With PS5’s ultra-fast SSD, players can near-instantaneously fast-travel across Marvel’s New York City, or feel the tension of each one of Miles’s web-swings, punches, web shots, and venom blasts with the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback. Highly-detailed character models and enhanced visuals across the game intensify the story of Miles Morales as he faces great, new challenges while learning to be his own Spider-Man.
The first trailer for Spider-Man: Miles Morales has been embedded above, and it’ll be released exclusively for PS5 this Fall.
