The new Spider-Man is not a sequel or a spin off, but an expansion of the original that will be released exclusively for PS5 and will take advantage of the console’s SSD.
Our joy in a well. It seems that the new Spider-Man: Miles Morales is not a continuation of the Insomniac game, but an independent expansion of the original that will be released on PS5. This has been clarified by Sony in statements to The Telegraph, where it has said the following: “I suppose it could be called an expansion and an improvement of the previous game.” No sequel or spin off at the moment. It will follow the line marked in its day by InFamous: First Light, which served as an expansion for InFamous: Second Son, but was sold separately and had its own story, lasting around three hours. This time we will have “a new and substantial part related to the character of Miles Morales”, who will inherit the formula that we already enjoyed in 2018 (surely also the mapping) and will incorporate improvements to take advantage of the graphic potential of the new console.
Precisely Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the titles that Sony has used the most to show the characteristics of PS5. A few months ago the company showed in a video how the loading times of the game on the platform were improved, where they went from 15 seconds on PS4 to 0.8 seconds when making a quick trip through Manhattan. This type of improvement is what we can expect in the expansion, which is confirmed for the end of the year and is part of the 14 exclusives that are already announced for PS5. It remains to be seen at what price it will come out and how many hours of play it will have. So far, the original Spider-Man has been able to sell over 13 million units, making it one of the PS4’s best-selling exclusives, where it picked up an 8.7 in its FreeGameTips review and was named Man’s Best Game. spider that has ever been.
More news for PS5
That Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an expansion and not a full juice makes sense if we take into account that Insomniac Games, its developer, has also shown another title for PS5. Neither more nor less than Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, one of the great graphic exponents of the potential of the console and one of the more than 20 announcements that have been made during the presentation of PlayStation 5, in which we have also had surprises such as Resident Evil 8: Village, Demon’s Souls Remake, and Horizon Forbidden West. We will see what more names are confirmed from here to its launch, scheduled for the end of 2020.
