Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Based on the Marvel Comics superhero Miles Morales, it will be the second game in the Marvel's Spider-Man series, following Marvel's Spider-Man (2018). It was announced at the PlayStation 5 live reveal event in June 2020. It is due to be released worldwide on November 12, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, and November 19 as a launch title for the PlayStation 5.
Development
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is being developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Sony Vice President Simon Rutter told The Telegraph that the game was "an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game". However, Insomniac later called the project a standalone game, stating that it is "the next adventure in the Marvel's Spider-Man universe". 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.
The game will feature "a new story, with new set-pieces, fresh villains, and unique quests". 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, enhancing the player immersion experience. Insomniac Games also confirmed that Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales will feature an optional "performance mode" that will allow players to run the game at 4K resolution and 60 frames per second with support for high dynamic range.
Release
The game was announced on June 11, 2020 at the PlayStation 5 reveal event as a launch title. It is set to be released worldwide on November 12, 2020 for PlayStation 4, with a PlayStation 5 version being released only in North America and Oceania. A week later, it will be released worldwide for the Playstation 5. The game will release in numerous editions.
