Although there were a number of major announcements that stuck out duringSony’s PlayStation 5 revealbroadcast, few were as widely touted asSpider-Man: Miles Morales.AnUncharted: Lost Legacysized experience that puts Miles Morales in the leading role, it already looks as though the game is going to be a fantastic new expansion to the original game’s story.
However, outside of a high-octane reveal trailer, not much else was discussed when it came toSpider-Man:Miles Morales’gameplay or technological advancements, with fans wondering what this new experience would offer. Luckily, a new blog post from Brian Horton, the creative director of the upcoming game, has hit the PlayStation blog, expanding on what players can expect from the exciting standalone spin-off release.

According to the developer, “Insomniac has been working incredibly hard to bring you a fantastic Miles Morales adventure since we concluded development onMarvel’s Spider-Man,“promising that players will “experience a full story arc with Miles.” Although, it seems the spinoff won’t merely be an extension ofMarvel’s Spider-Man,with Horton claiming he’s “excited for the game to demonstrate the power of PlayStation 5 this holiday.” For example, the game will allegedly show off “near-instant loading, ray-tracing, 3D audio and theDualSense controller.” Horton also reveals that the in-game models have got a significant update, claiming Insomniac’s “upgraded [its] characters with 4D scans and improved skin shading for more realistic looking characters and spline-based hair that moves far more naturally.”
Seemingly, this will be a completely next-gen take on the systems introduced inMarvel’s Spider-Man,with Horton assuring fans that “as you experience Miles’s story, you’ll see, hear, and feel things in a whole new way, all thanks to PS5.” There’s no denying that the team’s words and the reveal trailer paint a fantastic superhero experience, with fans of the first game already incredibly excited to playa newSpider-Manadventure in Miles' shoes.
Interestingly, it seems this is far from the onlySpider-Manexperience currently being worked on over at Insomniac, with the team teasing that Peter Parker’s time as the famed web-slinger is far from over. ClearlyMiles Moralesis aiming to be a supremely funnewSpider-Manstory that will likely bridge the gap between the original game and a future sequel, while also acting as a technical showcase that highlights the PlayStation 5’s biggest features. Luckily, fans won’t have to wait too long to see the game either, with the standalone spinoff title dropping this holiday.
Spider-Man: Miles Moraleswill be available this holiday for the PlayStation 5.
