With any significant moment in the gaming industry, it is almost inevitable that the memes will naturally spawn from the communities across the internet. While these memes often come from the dedicated fandoms, at times developers and publishers are very ready to get in on the action. DespiteSpider-Man: Miles Moralesfans already starting the meme trainfor the game, Insomniac opted to reconfigure a classic meme with an very cool overhaul.
As Insomniac Games celebrates the recent release ofSpider-Man: Miles Moraleson the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, the developer decided to share an amazing GIF on Twitter. The GIF is a recreation of the now iconic dancing Shaquille O’Neal vs dancing cat meme, although this time with the developer being able to use some high quality models at its disposal.

The GIF swaps out the original duo for the titular character of Miles Morales doing his best pouty lip Shaq impression, dancing against the one and only Spider-Cat. It is hard not to smile at the goofy GIF which Insomniac touts as pure elation. The text considers that the excitement for thepseudo-sequel to 2018’sSpider-Mancan only be understood through the excitable gyration of the Miles and his feline companion.
It’s undeniably charming to see the beloved GIF come to life in an entirely new context all while embracing the excitement of a new console launch title.
