Though the open world title will feature two playable characters, developer Insomniac never intended to make a co-op experience.
The PlayStation Showcase was bereft of many first-party titles. So what are the various PlayStation Studios teams working on?
“We’ve added Queens and Brooklyn this time," says creative director Bryan Intihar, which leads to some "unexpected situations."
During the main story, Insomniac controls when you "switch between Pete and Miles," but there's content for both in the open world.
"We've just scratched the surface - it is just the 'Thwip! of the Spider-Berg,' if I may coin that," said Yuri Lowenthal, who voices Peter Parker.
The PC port is handled by Nixxes, with ray-traced reflections and shadows, ultra-wide monitors, unlocked frame rates and more.
Community director James Stevenson simply replies, "No," when asked if the recent footage of the superhero title was from the final build.
Here's everything we've learned about the superhero sequel courtesy of its recent gameplay reveal.
New gadgets and abilities, individual and shared skill trees, spatial 3D audio and DualSense support are also confirmed.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will not feature co-op, and will instead focus on being an epic single-player adventure, according to the studio.
Sony Interactive Entertainment's president says fans will "be able to enjoy really beautiful visuals and a wonderful experience."
Insomniac's superhero sequel could spearhead the PS5's next phase, even without extensive gameplay or details since its announcement.
Narrative director Jon Paquette couldn't say much about the sequel but is excited and "can't wait to share it with ya'll."
Retailing for $49.99, PS4 owners of the base game, Digital Deluxe Edition or Game of the Year Edition can upgrade for $10.
Available on May 6th for Free Comic Book Day, the comic will see Miles Morales, Peter Parker and Mary Jane battling The Hood.
Insomniac previously confirmed a Fall launch window, while recent reports have suggested a September release.
Insomniac Games has two officially announced titles in the works right now, while job listings have also pointed to a third.
The developer says it's "in the kitchen" and "It smells good in there," which likely means development on the PS5 title is going well.
Yuri Lowenthal – who players Peter Parker/Spider-Man – says he has wrapped up his motion capture work on the game.
