Every Game In Detail
Where it startedReleased

Marvel's Spider-Man

Insomniac's first Marvel game put a seasoned, eight-years-in Peter Parker at the centre of an open Manhattan. The web-swinging — momentum-based, physically anchored to real buildings — instantly became the benchmark, and the Sinister Six finale gave the story real weight.

Best-selling PS4 exclusive of its year

Release

Key points

  • Momentum-driven traversal that still sets the standard
  • Full open-world Manhattan with borough-wide side content
  • Three story DLC chapters: The City That Never Sleeps
  • Over 20 million copies sold across platforms
The standalone leapReleased

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales

A tighter, sharper standalone launched alongside the PS5. Miles brings venom blasts and camouflage into the combat sandbox, and Harlem gets a story about community rather than city-wide catastrophe. It was also the showcase for ray tracing and near-instant loading on new hardware.

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered

The 2018 game rebuilt for PS5 with ray-traced reflections, new character models — including the much-debated recast of Peter's face — and 60fps modes. Nixxes' 2022 PC port opened the series to a whole new audience and set up every later multiplatform release.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

The rumoured spin-offRumour

Marvel's Venom

A shorter, standalone Venom project has been widely reported as sitting between the mainline games, following the symbiote thread Spider-Man 2 left dangling. Nothing has been shown publicly and no date exists — treat every detail as unconfirmed until Insomniac or PlayStation say it out loud.

  • No trailer, no date, no official confirmation
  • Everything here comes from reports, not announcements
The unannounced finaleUnannounced

Marvel's Spider-Man 3

Insomniac has talked about a longer Spider-Man plan, and the studio's pattern points to a third mainline entry eventually closing the trilogy — but there is no reveal, no title, no window and no confirmed platform. This slot exists so the timeline is honest about what is still missing.
