2020’s
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales proved to be an excellent entry in the Insomniac Games library, offering players a fresh, groundbreaking take on Marvel’s classic hero.
But with the character already having a moment in the limelight with the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, it was going to take a heck of an introduction to make sure players connected with this version of Miles Morales, especially after spending hours with Peter Parker in
Marvel’s Spider-Man.
In their GDC 2021 talk, Insomniac Games’ Ben Arfmann and Shane McCloskey offered a deep dive into the opening 30 minutes of
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, to explain how the narrative and designed teams worked together to introduce both a new character and new mechanics, and make sure they’d walk away thrilled and wanting more.
