It's been less than a year since Spider-Man swung onto PS4s, yet a sequel is absolutely guaranteed to be in development. It pretty much instantly became the best-selling exclusive on the platform, and obviously played a huge role in the decision from Sony to buy its developer, Insomniac.

If that wasn't enough, the company even singled out the game as one of the main franchises they're looking to continue, and with all of the teases and threads left hanging in the main game and its bridging DLC, an idea for the follow up's story is obviously already sketched out at Insomniac HQ.

The smoking gun, though, is that the OG Spider-Man has actually been used as a testing ground for the PS5's capabilities. Presentations from Sony have shown the difference between Spider-Man working on the PS4 compared to the next-gen console, suggesting that Spider-Man 2 is going to be the killer app that shows just what the machine is capable of.
