Marvel’s Avengers fans may still be waiting on the next roadmap, but in the meantime, Crystal Dynamics has been adding a plethora of skins to the game. The latest Marvel’s Avengers outfit is for Spider-Man, and it comes straight from the MCU.
The latest Marvel’s Avengers costume available for purchase featured prominently in Avengers: Infinity War, and gamers can now don the Iron Spider costume. Teased at the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming when Tony Stark offers Peter Parker a chance to join The Avengers, the suit goes on to feature in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. It makes a brief appearance in Spider-Man: Far From Home before being used once again in Spider-Man: No Way Home’s now iconic bridge sequence.
With the outfit being used in a majority of Spider-Man’s MCU appearances, it makes for a worthy inclusion that many fans will likely want to swing around in. The costume will cost the same price as the other MCU outfits in the game, and it boasts the exact same design as it does in the MCU. Alongside the clearly armored material, fans will see the large blue spider, glowing eyes, and gold accents. Unfortunately, players will not be able to use the Iron Spider legs like they can in Marvel’s Spider-Man, as costumes in the Crystal Dynamics title are purely cosmetic and offer no in-game abilities or advantages of any kind.
Marvel’s Avengers has been a roll lately when it comes to MCU suits - so much so that same fans have asked for Crystal Dynamics to ease up on this type of addition in favor of more comic-inspired cosmetics. Regardless, fans have seen Avengers: Age of Ultron’s Black Widow suit, Iron Man 3’s armor for Tony Stark, Thor’s look from Thor: Ragnarok, and more in recent weeks. Spider-Man has also gotten a lot of love, with four of his MCU looks now available to be worn in-game.
While players can now use the Stark Suit, Upgraded Suit, Stealth Suit, and Iron Spider Suit in Marvel’s Avengers, there is still potential for more MCU Spidey outfits to be introduced. Spidey’s Homemade suit from Spider-Man: Homecoming could be a solid addition, and Spider-Man: No Way Home introduced the Black and Gold Suit and Integrated Suit to the mix. No Way Home’s Final Suit could also be a potential addition, though based on how many are currently in the game, Crystal Dynamics has already delivered when it comes to the hero’s MCU suits.
As mentioned in the announcement post, this suit will only be seen in the PlayStation marketplace since Marvel’s Avengers’ Spider-Man remains PlayStation exclusive. While many fans want to see some new playable content instead of cosmetics, they will need to remain patient for the time being.
Marvel’s Avengers is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
