It would be an astonishing feat - one likely involving grueling hours and workplace crunch - for Insomniac, which Sony only acquired as one of its internal studios last August, to put out a full-fledged sequel and PS5 launch title in less than two years.
“ Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an important, heartfelt, emotional and essential experience to expanding the Marvel’s Spider-Man universe.
You’ll experience a full story arc with Miles, one that’s more akin to a game like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy in terms of overall scope,” Horton writes. Our team at Insomniac has been working incredibly hard to bring you a fantastic Miles Morales adventure since we concluded development on Marvel’s Spider-Man. “We know a lot of you want to know how big this game is. “You’ll experience a full story arc with Miles, one that’s more akin to a game like Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.” (That or Horton and the team feel comfortable doing so publicly now that the reference is already out there.) It would seem Insomniac has been using the example internally for some time now, which would explain why the source quoted in the Bloomberg report made the same comparison. The Lost Legacy reference was first used by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier in a post last week confirming the game would be a standalone title and not an expansion of 2018’s Spider-Man, following confusion from a Sony executive’s interview with The Telegraph. The Lost Legacy clocked in at about 7 to 10 hours of play time, according to data from, and was about half the size of the Uncharted game it was based on. In a blog post published Thursday, creative director Brian Horton said the game would be roughly the size of 2017’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, which, since its release, has become an industry reference point for talking about the scope and length of narrative expansions in games. Insomniac Games has confirmed its upcoming PlayStation 5 launch title, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, will be about half the length of the original game.
