In an October 27, 2023 Kinda Funny Games podcast video with the Marvel's Spider-Man series creative director Bryan Intihar, he revealed that the side quest "Make Your Own Choices", where you chase after Black Cat through a series of portals she summons with the Wand of Watoomb, was taken from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, a game that was also developed by Insomniac Games.

Intihar also stated that he wanted Miles Morales to interact with Black Cat for the side quest instead of Peter Parker, because Peter and Black Cat already interacted with each other a lot, so he tried to give Miles more interactions with her and make her care about Miles.
