Spider-Man: Miles Morales was revealed during Sony's PS5 event last week, and has since been at the center of some confusion concerning its size and scope. While developer Insomniac Games did confirm that it would be standalone, the studio has now compared its size to that of Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

　　The Lost Legacy was similarly standalone, but a much smaller adventure when compared to the rest of the mainline Uncharted entries. It was, however, substantially larger than another PlayStation-exclusive standalone spin-off, with Infamous: First Light only lasting a handful of hours. In a post on the PlayStation Blog, creative director Brian Horton says that players can look forward to a full story arc with Miles, including new villains and set-pieces.

　　Now Playing: Cyberpunk 2077 Delayed, Spider-Man: Miles Morales Explained, & PS5 DualSense Trademark | Save State

　　The city of New York has also changed. Spider-Man: Miles Morales takes place a year after the events of Marvel's Spider-Man, with Harlem now covered in the snows of winter. This changes up the familiar streets as you swing through them, but also allows Insomniac to introduce new visual upgrades thanks to the PS5. Features such as ray-tracing, improved asset models, and even a reworking of the game's hair animation will all be showcased in the standalone title.

　　Miles will also feel different to play than Peter Parker, ranging from his motions in the air as you swing to his abilities in a fight. Miles is still learning from Peter Parker, as senior animator James Ham explains in the video above, but differs with some unique suit abilities. These include electrified punches and the ability to go invisible for stealthier encounters.

　　Ham also notes the importance of having Miles Morales star in a Spider-Man game. "It's not about Miles being a Black superhero, it's about him being a superhero that happens to be Black," Ham concluded.

　　Lastly, Horton addressed the absence of Peter Parker, telling fans not to worry about his fate. "Don’t worry, we still have much of Peter’s story left to tell," Horton concluded. "But this game is all about Miles, a critical part of our Spider-Man universe, and you won’t want to miss what happens."

　　Spider-Man: Miles Morales is launching for the PS5 during Holiday 2020.
