In September 2018, Marvel and Insomniac Games rocked our trailers with the release of Marvel's Spider-Man, a PlayStation 4 exclusive that once again brought one of the greatest fictional characters of all time to the stars. Video game projectors. To say the title was well-received is an understatement, as the Compressed Game of the Year listing was quicker than Stan Lee could say "Excelsior, true believers! Marvel's Spider-Man was a resounding critical and commercial success: sold over nine million copies as of January 2019 and proves that demand for this character and Marvel storytelling titles are also plentiful that she never was.While Spider-Man's success hasn't changed and Crystal Dynamics will release the Marvel's Avengers in 2020, we think there's no better time for an Avengers/Spider-Man game After all, millions of gamers have fallen for Insomniac's take on Spidey and his supporting cast, so Peter Parker (or Miles Morales) in post-launch Marvel's Avengers seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it? Let's see how the crossover potential can play out.
PlayStation makes money movements.

(Image credit: Insomniac Games) The marketing machine for Marvel's Avengers, launched after the game's unveiling at E3 2019, is based on the idea that the game will "feature a world where players will be able to play in the next years". This bold statement forms the basis of our theory of how Marvel could introduce characters from Marvel's Spider-Man (and other upcoming titles) into Marvel's Avengers. During the E3 reveal, it was announced that PlayStation had signed a marketing deal that will allow PS4 owners to benefit from priority access to the online beta, as well as some unexpected surprises. Now, it might be a bit too optimistic to hope that these "surprises" will include our PS4 Spidey as a playable Avenger, but can't we just dream? This isn't entirely out of the question, as Crystal Dynamics has been very open about post-launch projects for the game. The studio confirmed that new playable heroes and regions would be added to the game for free in the coming years. the game's release in May 2020. We just can't imagine that the most famous and beloved Avenger isn't one of those post-launch DLC heroes on PS4.

(Image credit: Crystal Dynamics) Yes, Crystal Dynamics could easily have their own version of Spider-Man on hold, but it would be a huge missed opportunity to ignore Insomniac's character and start from scratch. It's not just because we love his costume or Yuri Lowenthal's incredible performance that Peter Parker, a crossover could be so much more than a low-to-the-ground approach. Through extensive communication and understanding with Insomniac, Marvel's Spider-Man narrative could continue into Marvel's Avengers and vice versa. We even saw characters appear in Marvel's Avengers that filled the gap between Spidey's first release and the sequel. Imagine: Tony Stark is appealing to Peter for the scientific brain of his (something has already been mentioned, more on that later), something is wrong and boom, Spidey is an avenger for a while. Then, in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Mary Jane or Miles Morales might say how wonderful it is to find Peter in New York after his West Coast adventure in Avenging. We don't need a crossover-inspired Avengers: Infinity War-esque epic just enough to create a believable world filled with heroes, a world in which the characters are aware of events taking place in various video games.
"God, what a world. Universe, now."

While Marvel's Avengers is touted as a live game that will be updated and rehearsed several years after its release, there will inevitably be other Marvel Games titles aside from the Marvel Spider-Man franchise, released during Crystal Dynamics is always available. Create content for your Avengers game. The combination of new Marvel games being released during the life cycle of Marvel Avengers and the confirmation of the arrival of new heroes after launch can only lead to one thing (we hope!): A Marvel game world in the that the heroes we know and love solo releases will continue their story in Marvel Avengers. Although Crystal Dynamics remains low-key about this prospect for now... "Eidos Montreal, the studio that is contributing to the development of Marvel Avengers, is also expected to be the lead developer of the Guardians of the Galaxy title." Speaking of new Marvel games, how about a three Guardians of the Galaxy game? In January 2017, Eurogamer announced that Eidos Montreal, the studio that contributed to the development of Marvel Avengers, is also expected to lead development of the Guardians of the Galaxy title. This title would be the second title, after Marvel's The Avengers, in a "multi-year, multi-game partnership" between Marvel and Square Enix. In a potential crossover similar to what we'd like to see with webslinger Insomniac, could we imagine a future where Eidos Montreal's Guardians of the Galaxy are unleashed, and then the world's criminal team? Will space be invited to Earth to defeat a new threat, an extension of Marvel's Avengers? It would make perfect sense to entrust Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics with developing Marvel games in the same potential crossover universe, given the proximity of the two studios to Marvel's Avengers. The crossovers could be the backbone of the post-launch content that Crystal Dynamics is developing for Marvel's Avengers. With Marvel's Spider-Man being a huge success and other Marvel games appearing on the horizon, the studio has a significant opportunity, with the Marvel Avengers, to create a universe with a narrative thread that runs through each new Marvel game based on the story. history. It's a dream, but it's a dream that Marvel has the opportunity to fully realize.
Laying the foundations
Image Credit: Sleepless Games. (Image credit: Sony) Although Crystal Dynamics and Insomniac Games have yet to confirm if we'll see a coveted crossover between Marvel's Spider-Man and Avengers games, there are some top brands for Earth's Mightiest Heroes (and d & rsquo; Other Marvel superheroes) in Spider-Man that make us think that the foundations have already been laid. The most famous is perhaps the Avengers Tower, located in Spidey, New York, which marks the city's skyline with the "A" symbol. When you take a photo of the tower, Peter Parker says, "Avengers Tower is cool, but they're never there to use it. I think they're probably somewhere on the west coast right now. Oh, and do you know where it is?" the Marvel's Avengers E3 trailer indicating that the Avengers are opening a new HQ San Francisco That can't be a coincidence, can it? Also, in the opening movie of Marvel's Spider-Man, the camera pans across the room from Peter Parker, and we see a post-it that says, "Call back TS:re:job offer. "Could Tony Stark have offered Peter a job, maybe on the West Coast?
(Image credit: Insomniac Games) Another interesting sticky note reads, “RR Ballistics Suit Fabric? Call to confirm.” RR almost certainly stands for Reed Richards, or Mr. Fantastic, Fantastic Four. Peter asks Reed Richards for costume supplies because he is considered to be the smartest person in the Marvel universe. The No Fantastic Four content has been confirmed for Marvel's Avengers, but Marvel Games has the spirit of the team because it was announced as DLC for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Besides Avengers Tower, there are plenty of other landmarks that suggest a connected superhero universe. Black Panther's Wakandan embassy is located in the city, as well as in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. Also, the disgusting Taskmaster plays a small role in Spider-Man Marvel, but also appears in the trailer for Marvel's Avengers. We don't know if he's the same Taskmaster, but it's always a possibility. We'll probably have to wait until May 15, 2020 to see if a crossover is coming together, but we're cautiously optimistic that Marvel Games loves crossovers just as much as Marvel Studios.
