Well over a year since the game launched, Crystal Dynamics has confirmed PlayStation exclusive character Spider-Man will finally be added to Marvel's Avengers on 30th November 2021. The web-slinger will arrive as part of a Hero Event alongside lots of other content, including a new raid, skins, and challenges.
You'll get to play as Spider-Man through "unlockable challenges woven throughout the Avengers Initiative", the Square Enix blog post claims. "Peter Parker uncovers AIM’s new plan to acquire technology that could make their Synthoid army unstoppable and total domination inevitable. He must partner with the Avengers to stop this looming threat, and forms a tentative friendship with Ms. Marvel and Black Widow while keeping his identity hidden." The publisher hasn't shared any images of what the wall-crawler actually looks like in-game just yet; the above is taken from Marvel's Spider-Man.
Alongside Spider-Man, Crystal Dynamics will deploy a large content update on the same day. This will include raising the level cap from 150 to 175, a new gear upgrading system, and Shipments. The latter allows you to earn sought-after cosmetics by spending the game's base currency (not premium).
However, the biggest addition is the new Klaw raid. "Following the events of the War for Wakanda Expansion, the sonic monster Klaw has returned to the Vibranium Mound with a seething determination to destroy Wakanda. This is where you finish him off for good and claim the highest-end gear—but he’s so not going down without a fight."
So, there you have it. Spider-Man will finally be coming to Marvel's Avengers on 30th November 2021 along with all this other content. Will you be jumping back in to play as him? Let us know in the comments below.

Wonder how much money they paid for this exclusive content? I played the main storyline but was a little bored by it at the end. I may play again when this update arrives to see if it was worth the wait.
I'll be hopping back in to check this out when it arrives. Marvel's Avengers isn't the most amazing game ever made, but the single player story was pretty spectacular. I had a mighty good time with most of the characters. Black Widow's movements are uncanny and Kamala’s stretchy traversal is pretty incredible. Also, the free Wakanda update was pretty fantastic. Nuff said.
Considering how long it's taken, I reckon Spider-Man was never going to be in the game till Sony jumped in.
Hmm this might bring me back for the campaign! After that the multiplayer stuff is worthless, but the campaign stories are cool enough!
Still feels a bit weird that they keep doing this kind of content after the SE boss said they were the wrong studio to do it lol
I can't believe there's not even a screenshot.
I'm imagining the infamous scene in Spider-Man 2 where Tobey risks his life to stop a train. Except Tobey is this Spidey DLC and the train is full of very angry Marvel fans 😆
Hopefully the wait was worth it.
Insomniac should have landed their hand in doing spider-man for avengers.
@Amnesiac It a sad thing if you think about how awsome this could have been as a quality singleplayer release.
Who cares, the game sucks and is well known for being a mistake.
The story mode was passable but it could have been so much more in the hands of a better, less greedy studio.
I can’t believe it’s taken so long to add Spider-man.
@Flaming_Kaiser It just makes me appreciate Guardians of the Galaxy that much more.
I'll grab it for under $20 just to because of Spiderman and the PS5 update. I knew the game was trash from the beta. Crystal Dynamics is the most overrated dev in AAA. Tomb Raider being the greatest offender. O-V-E-R rated.
I got the game for $19.99 on a sale and don't regret it one bit. I'm sad I waited so long to get it after seeing so many negative comments about it.
That being said, are we 100% sure we will actually get to play as Spider-Man in this game, or just Peter Parker? Their little blurb specifically brings up Ms. Marvel and Black Widow. I wonder if you play as them with him being someone like Hank Pym in the main campaign. I can't see how his web swinging would work in this game, it's not made for that.
I hope this isn't as bad as the Black Panther DLC
Spider-Man DLC will not save the Avengers. They might stop support later but when it does happen it will not be too surprising.
Just wanted to ask, is there a charge for the Spiderman & also the black panther dlc?
@WizzNL thanks for the reply👍🏻
@Nintendo4Sonic nope. The single player content doesn't suck at all
@fR_eeBritney what makes them a greedy studio? Any evidence that it wasn't SE that forced them to add all the multiplayer content and microtransactions?
@Rossif3r 😂
@naruball greedy publisher then if that makes you sleep better but CD could always say no. They’re hardly fresh on the block. Their last two games involved the shady Rise of the Tomb Raider deal and the Marvels Avengers debacle. Alls I’m sayin.
Hey Insomniac, Little help over here!! Lol. Poor Crystal Dynamics. SE already threw them under the bus. I hope Spidey plays well for those still playing the game
When does the xbox version get spawn?
Total waste of money on Sony's part. Clearly, they thought this game would be a much bigger deal than it ended up being.
I'm a PC guy, but I recently bought it on PS when it was on sale specifically so I could play Spidey and he'll probably be the only character I play on the platform. Now I just need them to add She-Hulk and so I can play her in something that isn't Fortnite or MvC3 and I'll be all set!
@fR_eeBritney thanks for your concern about me sleeping better at night. So very kind of you.
As for the Tomb Raider deal with Miscrosoft, again, we don't know who made that decision and when.
No wonder people are so angry these days. You make all these assumptions about others that you jump to any kind of conclusion with little to no evidence. We don't know when SE asked them to incorporate mictrotransactions, even if you ignore that so many games have them these days. But for some reason, they should be blamed. Gotta love hate bandwagons and the internet's obsession with them.
@art_of_the_kill how much money did they spend exactly?
The movement system in the game is really clunky without any flow, so I'm wondering how they'll pull off the web swinging and his movement in general.
I am all for exclusivity. I buy every playstation for exclusives on launch, i bought my only other console, switch, because of another exclusive game i wanted to play and i hate sony for bringing their games to pc because of the work it will bring unto those studios and limit their visions because of "other" platforms.. All these said and done, i hate limited time exclusivity and platform specific content exclusivity. That is just bollocks.
I got a free copy of this when a bought a Intel CPU at release. It was really bad then. I think I had two 2080's in my PC at the time (work) and it looked like it had Vaseline smeared over the screen. Played about an hour and never looked at it again. I'm sure its better now but it lost me a long time ago.
@naruball geez Louise, that wasn’t very nice.
I’m making assumptions, you’re making assumptions... Everyone knows when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of u and mption 😁
About damn time you can earn cosmetics in game. I don't mind paying for costumes but $20 is outrageous for a exotic.
No campaign not interested...though I'll probably still play as him anyways. He's my most fave Marvel superhero.
