Call it a sequel, expansion, spin-off, or whatever else, Insomniac's upcoming Spider-Man: Miles Morales looks amazing, sensational, spectacular, and whatever other kind of adjective has been slapped on the cover of a Spider-Man comic before. The game releases holiday 2020, and while it may not demonstrate the full power of the PS5, it still does the business visually.

Insomniac announced the game last Thursday with a trailer that didn't actually give that much away. There are a few definites - such as the game's marvellous winter setting - but apart from that not much is really known.

That isn't a bad thing of course. The more surprises Insomniac can keep in store for players to unwrap as an early Christmas treat, the better. But it does make speculating on what could and what probably isn't going to appear slightly more difficult; wish-lists like the following have got a wide surface-area to aim for.

All that said, there are certain things that I'd love to see Insomniac include in their next Spidey title, whether it be certain gameplay features, characters or callbacks to the Ultimate Spider-Man comics Miles made his debut in.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
