MARVEL'S AVENGERS: PlayStation Exclusive Spider-Man Will Have His Own Self-Contained Story Arc In The Game

The news that Spider-Man is going to be added to the PlayStation versions of Marvel's Avengers has been a tad controversial, especially as it means Xbox owners won't get to play as the web-slinger. 

Recently, Wccftech.com caught up with the game's Creative Director Shaun Escayg and Combat Director Vince Napoli, and they explained how Spidey will fit into the game. Interestingly, it also sounds like this version of the hero will be separate to the one seen in 2018's Spider-Man on the PS4.

"Without obviously giving any spoilers, the window where you will see our version of Spider-Man will fit into our story," Escayg revealed. "[Just] know that this is our Spider-Man, he will be in our story and will fit in that world, sort of in that gap what happened A-Day and between then and now, even the villains that support that will kind of speak to how he belongs in this world and how long he lives in this world."

Asked if Spider-Man is going to have a "self-contained" story arc in Marvel's Avengers, Escayg responded: "Absolutely, yeah."

Napoli, meanwhile, shed some light on how Spider-Man was added to the game, and it sounds like it was a decision that was out of Square Enix's control. However, it won't have an impact on the DLC plans they have for other platforms. 

"It's like, Sony went 'Hey, can you add this on top of it, as a sort of a cherry on top of that?' That plan is still moving forward as originally planned and conceived with all the original expansion stuff in mind."

Which version of Marvel's Avengers will you be buying next month?

It’s still strange to me considering the success of both the MCU and Spider-Man on the PS4 that they arnt making this the same
Spider-Man as that game. Maybe they can’t make it work story wise

@Twenty23Three - cuz it's made by square Enix, insomniac owns full rights of their version of Spidey. And I understand why they don't want him used in this game

@JustALurker - Increased exposure/popularity?

Why does anyone approve a crossover aside from that and financial reasons?

@Twenty23Three - I wonder if storywise his appearance in the last Spiderverse event will matter. Meeting Superior Spider-Man and all that.

@JustALurker - Fair enough. I guess there must've been a financial inventive for them

@JustALurker - There is no way that that is true. Insomniac owns nothing. I could by that Sony has the right to make decisions on that "version" but not insomniac.

My guess for why they are not using that version is because it would just be too cumbersome for both sides to try to meld these two universes. Simplest explanation.

Canceled my pre-order as soon as I heard they were pulling this stuff. I would have rather they just make the game exclusive over trying to sell incomplete versions to their costumers. A cosmetic skin or a time trial or challenge I can forgive but an entire character one as popular as Spider-Man exclusive to a single platform? No thank you, I will not be supporting that sort of practice.

@FearTheLiving - I didm't pre-order it and probably won't even buy it anyway, but I definitely agree that this is a foul move towards to non-PS players. It's not like PS players don't already have a full exclusive Spider-Man game to enjoy

@FearTheLiving - I'm still excited for the game but this Sony business is getting OLD. They are so desperate to have something iconic of their own. Marvel needs to squash this mess once and for all. Just leave them to the animated movies and get everything else in order.

This game just seems to be surrounded by weird press.
