Miles Morales is now the main Spider-Man in the Insomniac universe

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Miles Morales is now the main Spider-Man in the Insomniac universe.

Although this was a pretty concrete ending that made it fairly clear that Peter Parker was going to be taking a backseat and finally getting on with his own life in potential future Spider-Man games, Spider-Man 2’s narrative director Ben Arfmann and advanced writer Brittney Morris have expanded on the ending more in a recent interview with Gizmodo.

However, it is surprising that Sony wanted to take this direction after the sensational change of Peter Parker’s face compared to the original Marvel’s Spider-Man, which many saw as an attempt to bring to the screen a character as similar as possible to Tom Holland.

There will be no shortage of critical voices expressed for the wrong reasons, as unfortunately often happens in these cases, but beyond the controversy many hope that the developers will retrace their steps regarding Miles Morales’ ugly costume which is practically an Adidas advertisement.

As is the case with most Marvel properties nowadays, the ending of Spider-Man 2 sets up many things for the future and leaves us with just as many questions as it does answers. One of the main things answered in the final hours is which Spider-Man is mainly going to be taking charge of protecting New York City, something that Insomniac Games has now given more detail on. Spoilers for the final hours of Spider-Man 2 follow.

After struggling with his identity because of the symbiote’s influence for most of the game, Spider-Man 2 ends with Peter Parker taking a step back from the mask and focusing on building up the Emily-May Foundation. This leaves Miles Morales as New York’s only Spider-Man for a while, which is confirmed as he swings off to save the day while Peter remains at his house with MJ.
