Fans have been expectantly waiting on any news about what they can expect from the upcoming Spider-Man content in Marvel’s Avengers. After going silent about the character for a while, Square Enix recently confirmed that the webhead’s addition will bring additional story and cutscenes.
Marvel’s Avengers senior producer Dan Matlack briefly mentioned the content during an exchange on the game’s official Discord.
“Spider-Man is what we call an ‘event’ so he will have cut scenes and a story for sure,” he wrote (via MP1ST).
Marvel’s Avengers Spider-Man character will be released before the end of the year, Crystal Dynamics confirmed earlier this month.
Crystal Dynamics associate art director, Jeff Adams, gave fans a taste of what to expect from the Spider-Man content in a PlayStation Blog post last August.
“When Spider-Man comes to our stable of heroes, we’ll be marking his debut with an in-game event that will introduce him to the wider world of Marvel’s Avengers,” he wrote. “The event is comprised of a series of unique challenges for the hero to take on, testing his abilities, and yielding some exciting results.
“And like the rest of our heroes in Marvel’s Avengers, we will offer multiple cosmetic outfits and gameplay experience options, so you can make your vision of the wall-crawler a reality.”
Marvel’s Avengers first confirmed that Spider-Man would arrive in the game, albeit controversially as a PlayStation-exclusive character, in August last year. At the time, it was thought that the character would arrive during a release window in early 2021.
However, fan concerns increased as the introduction of Spider-Man was delayed and a long silence from the studio fell around, to the character.
Earlier this month, however, a new roadmap for Marvel’s Avengers confirmed that the developer was on track to release Spider-Man before the end of 2021.
