Man, Insomniac Games is going full pelt on PlayStation 5 games. Not only is the studio bringing back the beloved Ratchet & Clank with Rift Apart, but another team is hard at work on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. The standalone follow-up to the PS4 blockbuster is scheduled to release alongside the next-gen console, and a new blog post tells us a little more about the title.
That's all well and good, but there are some details in the post that suggest work is underway on a full-blown Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Firstly, Insomniac reassures fans that it hasn't forgotten about Peter Parker, saying it has "much of Peter’s story left to tell". A sequel is inevitable, but this is definitely a hint that more is on the way.
Another detail we shouldn't overlook is that Miles Morales isn't directed by Bryan Intihar, who helmed the first game. Brian Horton is creative director on this PS5 project. He's previously worked on games like the recent Tomb Raider titles and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. With Horton in charge of this standalone Spidey adventure, we can read between the lines and presume Bryan Intihar is busy with Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
If Insomniac really has started production on the full sequel, that means it's currently split into three teams. It's a big studio, and it seems Sony has put it to work on as much as possible. That's okay by us; we can't wait to play anything the developer cooks up.

That's the one I'm waiting on, I want to see where that story is going
Im fairly confident that insomniac will bring across their vr titles to PS5 too once the PSVR2 launches
@carlos82 Who says you can't have a side story in the meantime?
@Enuo nobody and I might still get it depending upon what other games are out around launch but it's the story of the original I'm looking forward to seeing continue
Is there any chance of this Miles Expansion coming to PS4???
@Nakatomi_Uk I hope not
@Nakatomi_Uk I'm sure they said, it's only for PS5. selling point for the console isn't it!
I think Miles Morales' game is more than enough to tide me over, especially if the first game is also backwards compatible with PS5 at launch. The trailer looked really slick and I'm interested in seeing how Miles' upbringing as a new Spider-Man in this universe contrasts with both his source material, as well as Into the Spider-Verse, which was probably as good of an origin story for Miles as we're gonna get tbh
It's going to be a full game of just stealth sections.
(J/K, looking forward to it.)
So a spinoff to grab cash like U: Lost Legacy.
So glad they're giving Miles Morales his own game. He's a strong character, and we really need to see people of color starring in video games. Definitely not enough to encourage me to buy at launch, but I will for certain pick it up once I have a PS5.
@Makina how exactly? It's not like it's a random story about side characters who aren't all that important. It's going to tell a pretty big part of miles story in this universe and he's one of the three main characters you play as in the original. Not to mention how this will feed into spiderman 2
@FindMeCampin 5-10h game about a side character. This will be a glorified DLC just like Lost Legacy.
Insomniac proving to be a very smart purchase by Sony.
Can't wait for new r&c and spidey, and maybe more resistance and disruptor in the future?
@Makina I enjoyed Lost Legacy as much as 4. And it was a decently meaty game. Plus was 40$ at launch. Can’t see why it’s a bad thing.
@TrueAssassin86x Why? It already has a minority/ugly woman protagonist?
This is what I wanted to hear! So this is spiderman 1.5 and Peters story will continue proper in Spiderman 2. Definitely gonna get both but I can't wait for the full blown sequel.
@Makina Hey kiddo, before DLC became a thing, we had this thing called expansions. They were meaty additions to the main games, not small piecemeal DLC content. Lost Legacy was an expansion of U4, not simple DLC. Same with Blood and Wine with Witcher 3, Death of the Outsider with Dishonored II, and Festival of Blood for InFamous, to give other similar examples. You clearly don't know the difference between DLC and an expansion when you call LL just simple DLC.
