Marvel's Avengers will follow a core group of heroes – Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, Captain America, and Thor – when it launches on September 4. However, the game is also getting free DLC heroes as time goes on (like the recently revealed Hawkeye). Today, developer Crystal Dynamics announced a major new addition to the roster.
In a post on PlayStation Blog, Crystal Dynamics associate art director Jeff Adams announced that Spider-Man will be coming to Avengers in early 2021. The hero will be available exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Also worth noting is that Adam's says this version of the web-slinger is "our own Crystal Dynamics take on Spider-Man," so don't expect any direct ties to Insomniac's acclaimed incarnation. The PS Blog post has much more information on Crystal Dynamics' approach to this legendary figure.
