MARVEL'S AVENGERS On PlayStation 4 Could Include Spider-Man As An Exclusive Character

We recently learned that Hawkeye will be part of Marvel's Avengers, but more characters are bound to be revealed over the coming weeks. The full roster hasn't actually been confirmed as of yet, but could Spider-Man end up swinging into the highly anticipated Square Enix title? 

According to a now-deleted listing on the UK-based Base.com (spotted by Game Rant), Spider-Man will be an exclusive, playable character on the PlayStation 4 version of the game. 

That makes sense considering the fact Spider-Man is an exclusive title on the platform, and while this doesn't necessarily confirm that both games take place in the same world, it certainly points to that being the case. Either way, it will obviously be a lot of fun to get to play as Spider-Man, even if it's just online or during future DLC. There could even be a PS4-exclusive level in Marvel's Avengers

If this is happening, it's strange that an official announcement hasn't been shared by Sony or Square Enix. As for that Base.com listing, it's hard to imagine they just assumed that would be the case, so perhaps they just jumped the gun and shared something they probably shouldn't have? 

Time will tell, but with Marvel's Avengers set for release on September 4th, we'll likely learn more soon.

I love this idea! Make it so. Meanwhile Xbox is all in on the game pass and that's literally it. 500 million dollar budget for Halo Infinite lmao, and this is coming from a former Xbox fan. Anyways, can't wait to pick up a ps5!

@bobevanz - Come on man, it's bad enough with the DC v Marvel stuff on here at times, let's at least leave the console war shenanigans at the door.

Well, despite all the nay-sayers, it's looking more likely that these games might be in the same universe.

Here's what I'll think they'll do though:

Spider-Man is voiced by the same guy but has a different costume. Then, based on how the game turns out, they can either connect the versions or leave them separate.

The game looks fun in my opinion and that’s really all I need. I preordered so I’ll be beta’d this weekend

I won't be buying this if that's the case. I can see them giving PlayStation an exclusive skin or something if he's in there, but making him exclusive to PlayStation is wack as [frick].

@TexasAvenger - Sony will have paid through the nose for the exclusive if true. If he gets a full story mode, all the skill trees, costumes, and loot drops of the other characters that is a massive chunk of work. Voice acting too. During this gen, completely exclusive characters on that scale doesn't happen much, right?

I hope this game is good, but I'll wait till reviews at this point

@tmp3 - The latest Wartable event made the game look really good imo. I'm cautiously optimistic.

So "it certainly points to it being the case" that a game with what looks to be a very involved and complicated, world-and-time spanning plot that will continue to develop in way the company making it probably hasn't completely planned for yet, is somehow also crammed into the same world as a game by a totally different company just because they might share one character on one console? "No you can't use Doc Ock we already did that!" You think SE are going to listen to that?

From what I've seen of videos of this, it looks like the Avengers as made by the Sci-fi Channel, and they seem to have finally made not only "traversal" but even combat look almost entirely scripted. I should love the look of what is essentially a 3D brawler featuring the Avengers, and I'll definitely play the Beta, but I'm not on the hook yet.

Only Exclusive I even bother playing is Halo. I'm a multiplayer guy.

Modern Warfare is going to have me locked down for the rest of this year.

@regularmovieguy - The Last of Us duology is really great, imo. I guess you could just wait for the HBO show; that creative team is incredible

@tmp3

Don't have a PS. Been an XBOX guy since like 6th or 7th grade. Heard good things about a lot of the current-gen Sony exclusives but, like I said, I'm mostly on multiplayer.

Most of my boys play Modern Warfare haha

@TheDarkPassenger - While I'm not happy to see Spidey as an exclusive, I am very happy to see him included. He's in a very precarious position vis a vis his video game rights, so him being a Playstation exclusive may have been the only way he was included at all.
