From the very beginning Insomniac didn’t want to be beholden to any established Spider-Man stories. We didn’t want to tell a story that had already been told,” Insomniac writer Jon Paquette says. “We all knew that people have seen the origin story before, right? We know what that teenage Peter Parker is about. “He still gets bit by a spider, but we don’t really want to go big into the origin story.” You will uncover elements of his backstory, mostly by collecting Peter’s old backpacks strewn about the city, but this is a Spider-Man story that takes place well after Peter Parker became Spider-Man.

That is not Miles in that suit, which is a question everyone keeps asking me on twitter,” creative director Bryan Intihar says.

From the moment Insomniac’s Spider-Man was revealed with the white spider logo on his chest, it was clear that this version of Spider-Man was going to be a little different from the hero we know, but he will be familiar, and he will definitely be Peter Parker under the mask.
