Sony's PlayStation 5 Showcase event revealed the first gameplayer trailer for Spider-Man: Miles Morales, along with providing more details on the game's story.
The seven-minute-long gameplay demo unveiled at the Sony PlayStation 5 Showcase began with Miles sneaking back into his apartment to change out of his Spider-Man costume, before meeting up with Ned to stroll through a Harlem street fair. Next, Insomiac Games Creative Director Brian Horton comes in to let us know Spider-Man: Miles Morales picks up one year after the events of Marvel's Spider-Man.
Miles' mother, Rio Morales, is leading an election rally when a fight breaks out between the evil Roxxon energy corporation and the Tinkerer's high-tech criminal army called the Underground. Once the terrorist group attacks, the fight spills out to a nearby bridge, sending the young Spider-Man into action. Fans get a look at Miles' unique fighting style, as he uses his invisibility and venom blast to attack opponents. One of the more dramatic moments of the gameplay trailer featured Miles saving various bystanders once the structural integrity of the bridge was compromised.
PlayStation's blog confirmed shortly after Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales's trailer debut that the game "supports a next-gen upgrade path, so even if you aren’t ready to upgrade to PS5 just yet, there’s nothing stopping you from buying the PS4 version and enjoying the game alongside everyone else. While it doesn’t have the enhancements made possible by the console in the PS5 version, the game still looks beautiful on PS4 and PS4 Pro, and you can rest easy that when you do make the jump to PS5, the game comes with you."
Developed by Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios, Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be available on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 this holiday season.
