Marvel's Avengers senior game designer Scott Walters has confirmed that Spider-Man is still on track to swing his way into the game for PlayStation players before the end of 2021.
Speaking to Screen Rant, Walters said that Spidey was always scheduled for 2021 and that plan hasn't changed dramatically, even with challenges brought on by COVID-19 and otherwise.
"In terms of what we can say now, we've always scheduled and looked to bring Spider-Man out in 2021 for PlayStation owners. That is still on track, so we'll have more announcements later on this year," Walters said.
Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos spoke to IGN earlier this year about Spider-Man, and while he shared that that team was hard at work on bringing him into the game, he gave no concrete release window besides saying he would not join the roster before Summer 2021 and Black Panther.
Spider-Man was announced as a PlayStation-exclusive playable character for Marvel's Avengers in August 2020 with a planned release of early 2021, but that window has come and gone. We still have yet to see what Spidey looks like in-game, but with the War for Wakanda expansion releasing on August 17 and there only being a bit over four months left in the year, it may not be long until we learn more.
The news of Spider-Man being exclusive to PlayStation players was met with its fair share of controversy. Not only was Marvel's Avengers not getting a ton of content at the time, but many have also been worried that this version of Spider-Man may not be as spectacular as he could have been since only a certain amount of players will have access to him.
Marvel's Avengers has since added both Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, and our hands-on with the War for Wakanda expansion and Black Panther have been promising. Hopefully, Spider-Man will be part of the next big wave of content for the game, especially considering that War for Wakanda was one of the last items on its 2021 Content Roadmap so far.
