Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an individual game and is not a DLC for nor a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man (via Push Square).
Sony’s The Future of Gaming event began with a bang with the reveal of Miles Morales’ own game on the PlayStation 5. However, it wasn’t clear what Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales was. Was it an all-new game for the PlayStation 5? Was it a remaster of the 2018 game with a new story for Miles? Was it a DLC for the 2018 game which would be remastered for the PlayStation 5? Was this a standalone title for Miles Morales?
“I can safely say that we would not effectively lead the next-gen portion of the show with something that was either trivial or misleading,” he said to CNET in an interview. Well, Jim, there were a lot of people who felt they didn’t know what the game was. So. Yeah.
Well, days after the event, now we know for sure. Kind of like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, it’s a spinoff for Marvel’s Spider-Man which will be playable on the PlayStation 5. Developer Insomniac Games iterated multiple times that the game isn’t an expansion to Peter Parker’s story, even though a Sony executive claimed that was the case. CEO Jim Ryan defended the announcement’s format, and said there was no muddying of the water around the game.
