The reason the Chrysler Building does not appear in the game is because the real building got new owners, who denied Insomniac's request to include the building in the game.
Bryan Intihar, Creative Director of the PS4 Spider-Man (2018) game, asked Nadji Jeter (Mile Morales) if he wanted a solo game at the launch party for Spider-Man PS4.
The motion capture for the game was completed in only a year and a half.
One of the very first games announced for the PlayStation 5.
Nadji Jeter also plays Miles Morales on Spider-Man (2017), the character's first regular television appearance. Jacqueline Pinol (Rio Morales) provided additional voices on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), Miles and Rio's first film appearance.
