Spider is still exclusive: Crystal Dynamics announces Spider-Man in Marvel’s Avengers for PlayStation

Crystal Dynamics Assistant Artistic Director Jeff Adams has announced that Spider-Man will be one of the heroes of the action-adventure Marvel’s Avengers – exclusively on PlayStation. Apparently, this will not be a spider from Marvel’s Spider-Man, but Crystal Dynamics’ own take on the character.

The announcement came after Base.com found a mention of Spider-Man’s exclusivity for PlayStation 4 owners. Despite the store’s dealership calling the information “incorrect,” it turned out to be correct. Friendly Neighbor will be available exclusively on PlayStation consoles in early 2021, completely free.

In a lengthy message, Jeff Adams expressed his love for Marvel characters, in particular Spider-Man. He listed several episodes and events dedicated to the hero, and also gave a little hint of what a wall climber can be in Marvel’s Avengers. So, as a child, Adams was especially impressed by the story of “The Commuter Cometh!” (“Suburban comet”), where Spider-Man was hunting a robber in the suburbs, not New York. The hero had to adapt to a new environment, which was very different from what he was used to – after all, you can’t fly on the web without skyscrapers. This mood Crystal Dynamics wants to capture in Marvel’s Avengers. “A familiar but fresh Spider-Man who needs to evolve to face global threats along with the most powerful heroes on Earth.”– wrote Adams.

Also, Assistant Artistic Director of Crystal Dynamics revealed that Lead Battle Designer Vince Napoli is working on the right feel for Spider-Man. The developers are trying to make it authentic to comics: the hero will have several options for spider web attacks, web-shooters with technologies from Hank Pym, SHIELD and Stark Industries and upgradeable gadgets, as well as demonstrate the skills and blows famous to fans. Plus, like all other Marvel’s Avengers heroes, Spider-Man will be able to evolve in several ways, depending on your preference.

Spider-Man from Crystal Dynamics will look closer to the versions of Steve Ditko and John Romita Sr.
