In\u00a0<em>Spider-Man<\/em>, should you and your friendly neighborhood Peter Park visit the Avengers tower in the Upper East Side, he\u2019ll say something to the effect of, \u201cToo bad they\u2019re never around. They\u2019re on the West Coast or something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDBojdBAjXU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In the trailer for the\u00a0<em>Avengers\u00a0<\/em>game, the Avengers are indeed on the West Coast, San Francisco specifically, when something called \u201cA-Day\u201d occurs that fractures the group. Was Peter on to something or was that just a sly dig at the in-comics West Coast Avengers that coincidentally presages the new game?<\/p>\n<p>Also, the villain Taskmaster appears in both games, though given he\u2019s not a villain specific to any one rogues gallery (if I remember correctly), that could also just be a coincidence. Great minds, yeah?<\/p>\n<p>The most hopeful interpretation of this theory is that it sets up a game version of the famous Marvel Cinematic Universe, the unprecedented genre-spanning film franchise that\u2019s been a staple of cinema for the last eleven years. The early MCU movies only hinted at the crossovers to come with subtle Easter Eggs in each film \u2014 the first and most memorable being SHIELD dogsbody Agent Coulson.<\/p>\n<p>So could this subtle nod be a sign of a crossover to come?<\/p>\n<p>The very reason it\u2019s unlikely is the same reason why it\u2019d be exciting if it\u2019s true \u2014 both games are being made by different companies. The\u00a0<em>Avengers\u00a0<\/em>game is being developed by Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix<a href=\"https:\/\/index.co\/company\/SquareEnix\" data-index=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"idc-hasIcon\"\/>, while\u00a0<em>Spider-Man\u00a0<\/em>is a product of Insomniac. So if there really were some legitimate communication between the two that led to the\u00a0<em>Spider-Man\u00a0<\/em>Easter Egg, then that means Disney<a href=\"https:\/\/index.co\/company\/Disney\" data-index=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"idc-hasIcon\"\/> could be bringing together different companies, pooling the talents of multiple development teams the same way the MCU did with excellent character actors and directors.<\/p>\n<p>Other than this, details about the\u00a0<em>Avengers\u00a0<\/em>game are still scant. We know each\u00a0Avenger\u00a0will have their own skill set, and that there will be co-op play. Frankly it looks a bit like\u00a0<em>LEGO Marvel Super Heroes<\/em> \u2014 and by the way, if this Marvel Gaming Universe theory doesn\u2019t pan out, you can at least always go back to playing one of those games, because they already give all the zany crossover action anyone could want.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/gaming\/2019\/06\/14\/avengers-game-spider-man-theory-marvel-gaming-universe\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The recent E3 trailer for the\u00a0Avengers\u00a0game\u00a0has given rise to some speculation that the game may contain a crossover with the PS4\u00a0Spider-Man\u00a0game.
