When the Spider-Man DLC ‘With Great Power’ for Marvel’s Avengers was officially announced, fans were so thrilled to finally try out the web-slinger in the popular game, but since then, two more things about the DLC were announced – one is bad and one is worse.

First thing was that DLC will be available exclusively to players of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, so if you own Marvel’s Avengers on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, or any other platform, well, that’s too bad in this case. And the other thing, unlike previous DLCs like Kate Bishop and Black Panther, Spider-Man DLC won’t feature any new story missions. Disappointing news emerged recently, and gameplay director of the game Philippe Therien now confirmed it:

“We want to spend our efforts on content that everyone can enjoy, so we chose to spend a lot of our energy on the Klaw raid that’s coming up at the same time. Really that’s a simple decision for us. Spider-Mancan play all the content, but then we release a piece of content that’s good on all platforms. Really that was a decision that’s been that way since the beginning.”

Philippe Therien for IGN

Well, who am I to tell them how to do their work, but if solo missions aren’t something that everyone can enjoy, then what is? On the other hand, one thing saving Spider-Man from all the negative feedback is that it’s a free DLC. So, it depends on you. Would you rather pay for the expansion with more content (on more platforms), or you’re gonna take it as it is when it’s already free-to-play?

Spider-Man DLC ‘With Great Power’ for Marvel’s Avengers will be available on November 30.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
