Rygterne nåede kun lige at svirre i få timer før det endelige blev bekræftet. Ja, det startede med at butikskæden Base kom til at afsløre, at Spider-Man eksklusivt ville blive en del af PlayStation-udgaven af det kommende Marvel's Avengers som DLC. Derefter valgte de sjovt nok at lyve, og slå fast at deres information var inkorrekt, hvorefter det kort efter blev bekræftet at den altså var god nok.
Og den er god nok. Via et indlæg ovre hos PlayStation Blog fortæller Jeff Adams fra Crystal Dynamics, at Spidey kommer til PlayStation-udgaven af Marvel's Avengers, altså både til PS4 og PS5, men at dette først sker tidligt i 2021.
"It's never been a better time to be a spider-fan! The team at Crystal Dynamics, along with our partners, are overjoyed that we get to be a part of this hero's gaming journey. We can't wait for you to add Spider-Man to your Marvel's Avengers roster in early 2021, and as we've promised before, he will be available at no additional cost to owners of the base game, exclusively on PlayStation."
Når han ankommer introduceres han via en minikampagne af missioner, og denne beskrives således:
"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. 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. "
