Insomniac Games has confirmed Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales as a standalone experience separate from the original game.
Despite confusing remarks from Sony vice president Simon Rutter who described the new Spider-Man game to The Telegraph as “an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game,” developer Insomniac has now confirmed via their official Twitter account that the new title coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 later this year will indeed be a standalone game.

According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be significantly smaller than Marvel’s Spider-Man and will be available as a separate product. An insider with knowledge of the project confirmed to the outlet that the new game will be comparable in size to Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 4 spin-off which sold for $40 rather than the $60 price tag of a full game. It’s possible the new Miles Morales game could take this route as well.
Insomniac announced Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the developers follow up to its 2018 Spidey game with an announcement trailer during Sony’s PlayStation 5 reveal event on Thursday. The game will follow Miles Morales as the young hero takes the spotlight for his own adventure, arriving in time for the Holiday 2020 season.
Here’s the official description for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales:
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.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be available this Holiday season exclusively on PlayStation 5. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news from Insomniac as we learn it and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content in the future!
