Hey everyone,
Today we debuted a brand new 7-minute gameplay video featuring explosive new footage of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. If you missed it, take a look.
The demo opens with Miles and his best friend, Ganke Lee, walking through their East Harlem neighborhood to an election rally for Miles’smother, Rio Morales. Here you’ll see some of the characters you’ll get to know during the game and a glimpse at the culture of the neighborhood. We hope you love the beautiful visuals of a wintertime Marvel’s New York, our neon-noir aesthetic for the game,and gorgeous ray-traced*reflections.
Miles is searching for a sense of belonging in his vibrant new neighborhood, but a war has broken out between a devious energy corporation, Roxxon, and a high-tech criminal army, the Underground. In the gameplay sequence you saw captured from PlayStation 5 hardware, the Underground interrupts the election rally.
Meanwhile the Underground also attacks a Roxxon convoy on the Braithwaite Bridge in an attempt to steal NuForm energy canisters.NuForm is a highly violate energy source that Roxxon promises can power the entire city cleanly.Here we meet the leader of the Underground, thebrilliantTinkerer.Marvel fans will surely recognize the name of this villain from the comics, but we’re very excited to introduce you to our take on this classic Spider-Man villain.
Miles races to the bridge,and,using his explosive,new bio-electric venom and camouflageabilities, attempts to stop the Underground while protecting the citizens of Marvel’s New York City. But as Milesendeavorsto rise to the challenge of becoming his own Spider-Man, he finds it’s not as easy asjust having impressive new powers.
