Almost exactly 15 months after it was revealed Spider-Man would be heading to Marvel’s Avengers as a PlayStation-exclusive playable character, developer Crystal Dynamics has announced a release date for the much-delayed hero; he’ll be swinging into action on 30th November as part of a relatively beefy update for the beleaguered live service game.
Alongside Spider-Man, Marvel’s Avengers’ 30th November update will also feature some notable additions for players on all platforms, including the game’s first raid, Discordant Sound, which will pit squads of four heroes against Wakanda villain Klaw in the Vibranium Mound for a chance at claiming some “highest-end” gear.
In an earnings call earlier this week, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda admitted Marvel’s Avengers “has unfortunately not proven as successful as we would have liked”.
Crystal Dynamics eventually moved to reassure fans that Spidey was still coming but his exact arrival date remained unclear – until now.
