Marvel Spider Man Pc Release Date

Also Coming to PlayStation 4. We’re also excited today to reveal that Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be arriving on both PS5 and PS4. Yes, that’s right, we know that some of you may transition to PS5 at different times, which it was why it was important to us to release the latest title in the Marvel’s Spider-Man universe on both consoles. The Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962). By the late 1970s, Spider-Man had become a successful franchise.At this time the fictional character had already featured in the animated series Spider-Man, a segment on the children's television series The Electric Company (called Spidey Super.

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is one of the biggest games coming this fall, a spin-off sequel to the incredibly successful 2018 Marvel's Spider-Man from Insomniac. While Miles was a secondary character with some civilian-stealth segments in the previous game, this time he takes center-stage with his own set of Spidey powers, his own suits, and new villains to deal with.

Below you can find everything you need to know about Insomniac's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Be sure to check back often in the weeks ahead as the game's launch approaches, as we'll be updating this feature with all the latest details as they get announced.

Release Date and Versions

Spider-Man: Miles Morales will release for PS4 and PS5 on November 12, right alongside the launch of the PlayStation 5. While it's ostensibly being treated like a PS5 launch title, it's coming to PS4 as well. But don't worry, you can get the PS4 version and be secure in the knowledge that if you upgrade to a PS5 later, you can play that version for free and your save will transfer.

The standard edition of Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be $50 USD across PS4 and PS5. A separate 'Ultimate Edition' is also available for $70. That version is only available for PS5 and includes a voucher code for Spider-Man Remastered, an improved next-gen version of the 2018 game.

Preorders and Bonuses

Across both PS4 and PS5, preordering Spider-Man: Miles Morales will get you some bonus items. Those include three extra skill points to start customizing Miles' abilities right away, and an early unlock for the Gravity Well gadget. You'll also get two alternate costumes: the TRACK Suit with an unlockable 'Untrackable Suit Mod' and another suit, to be announced. You can find more details in our Spider-Man: Miles Morales preorder guide.

2018's Spider-Man: A Primer (Contains Spoilers)

Insomniac has primarily released PlayStation-exclusive games for years, but Marvel's Spider-Man was an unprecedented success. It was a huge financial boon for Sony and may have played a role in the company's decision to acquire the developer shortly after Spider-Man launched.

In creating the in-game world, Insomniac envisioned a whole new continuity for Spider-Man, allowing the developer to take some liberties with the Marvel property and its characters. This has been dubbed Earth-1048 in the Marvel multiverse and has gotten continuity-crossing references in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and the Spider-geddon comic book arc. Each time, the Easter egg was clearly identifiable by Insomniac's iconic Spidey-suit design, which sports a white spider across the chest along with Peter Parker's usual red-and-blue coloring.

This Spider-Man game established a new Peter Parker--an experienced web-slinger and the scientific protege of the kindly Dr. Otto Octavius--as well as Miles Morales. It used Peter's already-established superheroics to introduce a new backstory for Miles. While some elements from the comics remained the same, like Miles' police officer father and biracial heritage, it made some significant changes. Peter and Miles befriended each other working together at a homeless shelter, whereas in the comics Miles was inspired by Spider-Man's death without having personally known Peter. Miles' father, Jefferson Davis, died protecting civilians, while in the comics Jefferson is still alive and well. Miles was ultimately bitten by a genetically-engineered spider that Mary Jane unwittingly carried back with her from Oscorp. A brief ending scene featured Miles showing his newfound Spider-powers to Peter, and Peter revealing to Miles that he's Spider-Man.

Meanwhile, several plot threads have either wrapped up or been left ambiguous for further exploration in a sequel. Peter and Mary Jane have rekindled their relationship. Aunt May passed away from a deadly virus, knowing that her heroic nephew would do the right thing and distribute the life-saving cure to the entire city. Dr. Octavius, who learned Spider-Man's secret identity and became the villainous Doc Ock, has been apprehended and sits in a cell without his mechanical arms. And Norman Osborne is watching over what may be his son, Harry, who was often referenced but never seen in the game.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales Story

Spider-Man: Miles Morales picks up one year after The City That Never Sleeps, the post-story DLC for the 2018 Spider-Man. Miles has been training under Peter to embrace his Spidey powers, and he's looking to be the hero that Harlem and NYC at large need, while also supporting his mother's campaign for City Council. But a gang war is brewing between Roxxon Energy and a high-tech gang of criminals called The Underground, led by the villain the Tinkerer.

Roxxon has been referenced or utilized by dozens of comics, largely as a stand-in for real-world petro conglomerates like BP or Exxon. It has also had ties to both SHIELD and Hydra, and it has been behind some large-scale infrastructure projects in the Marvel universe. It's unknown what its role will be in this game, but if it's being targeted by a band of criminals, chances are the conflict won't be so black-and-white.

In the comics, The Tinkerer is a brilliant inventor and usually portrayed as an elderly man. He isn't often a threat himself, but he creates some of the high-tech suits and weapons used by Spidey's most notorious foes. In this version, The Tinkerer is a woman who appears to be taking on Spider-Man herself in a superpowered suit. It's possible this iteration is a younger version of the Ultimate variation of the character (The Tinkerer who fights Miles in the comics), or perhaps her suit is just a feat of design that lets her act sprier than her actual age.

Days before Spider-Man: Miles Morales hits stores, a prequel novel is coming out that could shed more light on the story. Spider-Man: Miles Morales - Wings of Fury will pit Miles against The Vulture--who appeared in 2018's Spider-Man as a member of the Sinister Six--and his granddaughter, Starling. Those high-tech villains will help Miles come to terms with what kind of hero he wants to be. On a thematic level, they're technology-based villains similar to The Tinkerer, and Vulture is similarly elderly.

New Miles, New Peter

One aspect that was immediately apparent from the debut trailer was that Miles has gotten a new look for this sequel. He looks much more like his comic book counterpart now, with a darker skin tone and shorter hair.

Less apparent was that Peter would be getting a facelift too. That detail wasn't announced until well after the game had been, with word that Insomniac had replaced the face model for Peter in Spider-Man Remastered. The new Peter looks notably younger and more like the current Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man, Tom Holland. Insomniac says this is to make his face a better match for the facial capture performance from actor Yuri Lowenthal, who also provides Peter's voice. Lowenthal lightheartedly tweeted that it's the fault of his 'stupid stupid bones.'

Guys. It’s my face’s fault. The stupid stupid bones in my face. Blame my bones. https://t.co/VUES1jQLC5

— Yuri Lowenthal (@YuriLowenthal) September 30, 2020

Some fans have been critical of the change, suggesting the new look doesn't appear as if Peter has been Spider-Man for eight years by this point. While it hasn't been confirmed that Peter will make an appearance in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it would make sense as Peter is acting as Miles' mentor. If he does show up, it will probably be with the new face model, not the old one.

Miles' Unique Powers

Though Miles Morales is a Spider-Man, he has a few unique powers that differentiate him from the familiar Peter Parker version of Spider-Man. Miles can web-sling and wall-crawl just like Pete, and he has similarly enhanced speed, agility, reflexes, and durability. He has a Spider-sense, but canonically it's not as acute as Peter's. Miles has two unique powers of his own, though: a cloaking ability that lets him render himself (and his suit) essentially invisible, and a 'venom strike' electrokinetic shock.

We've already seen some of these powers in action during the debut trailer and subsequent gameplay trailers. His venom strike power in the comics has often been relatively limited, but in the game it appears to be much broader electricity powers that play into a wide suite of abilities. His Spider-sense also appears to be on-par with Peter's in terms of gameplay, where it is used to warn you of impending attacks. On the PS5, this ability will make use of the DualSense controller. The haptic feedback will give you cues for which direction an attack comes from, and you'll be able to feel the crackle of Miles' Venom Punch.

'The haptic feedback precision allows us to do all sorts of new things,' Brian Horton, creative director on Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales explained. 'We'll be hinting to players which direction attacks are coming from by providing haptic feedback from the appropriate direction on the DualSense wireless controller. Because of the high resolution of DualSense wireless controller's haptics system, we can really push the dimensionality of the feedback. As you hold down Square to do a Venom Punch, you feel Spider-Man's bio-electricity crackle across from the left side of the controller, culminating in the right side on impact.'

The story will show itself in Miles' abilities too. Since he's a less experienced Spider-Man, his animations and moves are said to be a little less refined than Peter Parker's. He'll also be the only playable character, a change from the 2018 game that featured story sequences with Miles and Mary Jane. A teaser also showed Miles wearing one of Peter's suits with a hoodie, a possible reference to the character's iconic look from Into the Spider-Verse.

Next-Gen Power: Performance vs. Fidelity

On PlayStation 5, you'll be able to choose from Performance Mode and Fidelity Mode in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Performance gives the game a smooth 60 FPS in Dynamic 4K, while Fidelity Mode runs at 30 FPS in 4K and includes visual enhancements like ray tracing. The PS5 version is also said to run without loading screens, even when using fast-travel, thanks to the new hardware's SSD.

Anybody call for a webslinger? Between Yuri Lowenthal's sassy Peter Parker and Insomniac's loving interpretation of New York City, there's much to enjoy about Marvel's Spider-Man. Now that Spider-Man: Miles Moraleshas hit the market to great acclaim, development has likely begun on Peter Parker's next adventure across New York City.

What do we actually know about the sequel? Here's all the evidence that has surfaced about Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

When is the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 release date?

Spider-Man PS4 was released in September 2018 and was announced at E3 2016, more than two years before its release. It took Insomniac roughly four years to create, with development beginning in 2014.

However, given the work that Insomniac has already put into retouching New York with Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remastered, it's likely that the next Spider-Man game will be released far quicker than that.

Though the game has yet to be actually announced, it's certainly inevitable. Following fan assumptions that Peter might have perished between the first Spider-Man game and Miles Morales, Insomniac Creative Director Brian Horton cleared some things up via a PlayStation Blog post.

'Many of you fans have wondered if Peter Parker is OK. Don’t worry, we still have much of Peter’s story left to tell,' said Horton.

This statement confirms that Peter's story is still very much in progress, inadvertently confirming that more Spider-narratives are on the way. Perhaps we can expect a 2022 release date, with the game being announced after Sony has exhausted its initial launch title selection.

Is there a trailer for Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

This game has yet to be announced, so there isn't a trailer available. Watch this space!

What consoles will Marvel's Spider-Man 2 be released on?

The sequel will almost certainly be released exclusively on the PS5, because of the short time left in the current console generation and how much of a hit it was for the PS4.

Sony even released a limited-edition Marvel’s Spider-Man PS4 Pro Bundle when the game was launched. It could do the same thing with the PS5 to boost sales and convince games to pick the new PlayStation.

Who are the new heroes in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Spoilers ahead.

Based on information from Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it appears that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will have dual protagonists of Peter and Miles. Clearly, Miles has gotten a handle on his abilities, enough that he can easily lead his own narrative. Aside from Miles, Silver Sable could potentially return as a hero. Peter did mention in Spider-Man: Miles Morales that he spent time with her while in Europe.

It seems that Spider-Man 2 will feature dual narratives, one for Peter and another for Miles. These stories will likely overlap at some point and feature a few team-up missions.

One of the big additions in Spider-Man: Miles Morales were the two-person takedowns. We briefly saw these in use when Miles and Phin were working together to take down Roxxon. This takedown style will likely return in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, but between Peter and Miles.

Who are the villains in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

Between the endings of Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we have ample clues as to the villains in the next game. We can assume the villains will be Wilson Fisk, Green Goblin (Norman Osborn), Venom (Harry Osborn), and The Lizard (Curt Connors).

Wilson Fisk recently appeared as the coda to a lengthy side quest arc in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. In his appearance, Fisk and Miles came to verbal blows. The encounter concluded with Fisk promising 'Harlem hasn't seen the last of me' and other Scooby-Doo villain esque statements. Assuming his promise can be trusted, Fisk could become a personal foe for Miles in the sequel.

The first game leaves Norman in a dark place, he’s resigned as mayor of New York, and he's growing increasingly desperate to find a cure for his son, Harry Osborn, who has a terminal illness. It becomes increasingly clear that Norman is spiraling into madness. The vast amounts of wealth and lab technology he has access to allow him to pursue more extreme measures to help his son.

When MJ sneaks into his lab, she also discovers a prototype mask, blueprints for a hovercraft, and three purple grenades. The signs are clear as day that Norman is developing the Green Goblin persona, his hoverboard, and his signature Pumpkin Bombs.

While Norman seems to be undergoing a villainous turn to the Green Goblin, Harry could be the sequel’s Venom. Fans were up in arms about the exclusion of Spidey’s alien suit as an alternate skin, but Insomniac Creative Director Bryan Intihar said they had good reason to leave it out.

“I think something like that suit deserves its day in the spotlight and I think just making it an unlockable suit wouldn’t be doing it justice,” he said in September 2018 interview. “I think it’s one of the best stories in Spider-Man. It’s a complex story that story needs to be told and it needs to be told in the way that Insomniac would tell it.”

Harry could be the best character to tell that story with seeing as his and Peter’s relationship is one of the most mysterious in the game and is only really addressed through various journal entries and Easter eggs.

The game leaves off with Harry in critical condition and his father places him inside of a stasis chamber with a black, web-like substance encasing his body. The black goo is extremely similar to the symbiote fans have seen in the Spider-Man comics and films that bring Venom to life.

To top this off, Sony re-introduced Venom into the cultural conversation with last year’s movie, featuring Tom Hardy as the classic Spidey villain. With a Venom movie sequel in the works, it makes sense to capitalize on that interest by making him a primary villain in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

When we revisited the plot thread (plot web?) in Spider-Man: Miles Morales' post-credits scene, Curt Connors was present. His brief appearance almost definitely sets him up for a larger role in the sequel. From the blood sample found in the first game, it seems that Connors has already transformed into the Lizard once, he'll likely return to his supervillain persona in the next game.
