With two different publishers and developers involved, it's no surprise to learn that Insomniac Games' upcoming Spider-Man game is unrelated to Square Enix's newly announced The Avengers. But just in case you needed any clarification, the Ratchet & Clank developer has confirmed as much on Twitter, telling website Start-Replay that it's making an "all-new" experience.
That said, the studio is stoked about The Avengers game: "Today's announcement looks awesome," it said of the Crystal Dynamics developed release. "Great time for Marvel fans!" It is, but it's a shame that we'll have to wait until 2018 to see any more of it, eh? Let's hope that the web slinger doesn't take as long to swing in!

Well that's odd. Though we don't really know much about the movie yet do we? I still need to see Civil War so I'm a bit behind.
Fortuantly Spidey has enough villains and friends of his own that carrying his own game w/o the rest of the MCU shouldn't be a problem. Might even help.
I'm fine with that.
That costume is bloody awfull though.
What' s wrong with the original or the black suit ?
Probably tied up in the movies or something.
Well that was kind of obvious, Sony clearly got the Spiderman licence in return for loaning the movie rights back and the Avengers are assigned to a different publisher anyway
@KitsuneNight The costume's grown on me, personally.
Can't wait for this game, anybody that see sunset overdrive know that insomniacs does traversal gameplay well. Sucker punch is another good candidate.
@KitsuneNight Don't worry - I reckon about 10 Spider Man outfits will be either unlockables or DLC for this game.
Really stoked to FINALLY see some quality Marvel games - A Spider-Man AND an Avengers game. Plus, a new MvC. I just hope that one day a full Marvel Fighting Game (not a crossover) will be announced, ala Injustice.
@Nickolaidas
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they were DLC at 2 bucks a pop.

It looks better then the ASM movie costume at least, but that' s about it.
I expected as such. I wish we could see more of Spidey. Watching the same trailer over and over can only do so much.
@get2sammyb the venom costume grew on Spiderman. Ba dum chich.
Great. The MGU is already fragmented.
@get2sammyb
Venom style?
