Marvel's The Avenging Spider-Man

The Avenging Spider-Man (also entitled Marvel’s The Avenging Spider-Man) is an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4, based on the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man. Set to release worldwide on September 6, 2019, the game is a sequel to the (which was relased about one year after this one) and centers on a new storyline featuring Spider-Man and the Avengers.

Gameplay
Along with the same gameplay of the previous game, The Avenging Spider-Man features new playable characters along with Spider-Man, including the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Hawkeye and Hulk), each of them with his/her unique traits and abilities. Once again, Mary Jane Watson and Miles Morales are also playable in key parts of the game, but this time in their new superhero forms of Firestar and Kid Arachnid respectively. Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel is also playable in the game. Similarly to Batman: Arkham Knight, the game includes a "Dual Play" system, in which players can seamlessly switch control of Spider-Man to one of his allies during certain events of the game: the Avengers, Firestar, Ms. Marvel, or Kid Arachnid while in FreeFlow Combat, which the player enters when they have accumulated an uninterrupted combat-streak. Each successful, uninterrupted attack adds to the player's combat score, which carries over between each controlled character, and unlocks double-team takedowns on opponents at higher scores.

Players can also stop by the Avengers Tower, where they can play and replay missions and manually switch the characters to explore the open world areas.

Multiplayer Battle
Also, as in certain action games (like Shadow the Hedgehog), the game features a Multiplayer battle campaign for 2-4 players. Players can either compete individually against each other or in teams of two.

Premise
One year after the defeats of Mr. Negative and Doctor Octopus and aunt May’s death, Peter Parker continues his career as Spider-Man as he is invited by Tony Stark to join the Avengers. While he also carries on the new responsibility of becoming a mentor to Miles Morales (who now operates as Kid Arachnid after being bitten by a radioactive spider which escaped Oscorp), Peter also resumes his relationship with Mary Jane Watson, who discovers her own true origins as an Inhuman descendant when a cloud of Terrigen Mist, the formula which awakens the powers of Inhumans, awakens her Pyrokinetic powers and leads her to a new superhero life as Firestar. Spider-Man will soon find himself in need of learning more about teamwork when the Mad Titan Thanos arrives on Earth longing to recruit villainous metahumans from Earth (including Doctor Octopus) and brainwash them as new members of his new Black Order and commit the genocide of Inhumans. Peter and Mary Jane eventually take their mission seriously when they learn further of what is happening to their friend Harry Osborn, who seems to be a key for Thanos' plans.

Plot
15 years ago, the Mad Titan Thanos, followed by his lieutenants the Black Order (Ebony Maw, Cull Obsidian, Proxima Midnight, and Corvus Glaive), attempted to decimate half of all life on Earth to retrieve the Tesseract, a cosmic artifact containing the Space Infinity Stone, until Thanos and his lieutenants were defeated by the newly-formed Avengers (Tony Stark / Iron Man, Steve Rogers / Captain America, Thor, Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow, Clint Barton / Hawkeye and Bruce Banner / Hulk). Thanos was defeated and vanquished, the Black Order members were killed and the Tesseract was taken in to S.H.I.E.L.D. units for safekeeping. The battle between the united heroes and Thanos' forces was being witnessed by numerous citizens, including Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.

In present day (one year after the previous game), Peter is resuming his career as Spider-Man and his relationship with Mary Jane despite still mourning the loss of his aunt May during the Devil's Breath crisis. Along the way, he encounters young fangirl Kamala Khan, who owns a website where she publishes her fan-fiction stories about superheroes, and her two friends Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane's surrogate sister Anya Corazon, and manages to save the three from getting murdered by J. Jonah Jameson for ruining the popularity of his podcast. As Jameson is arrested, Spider-Man is praised as a greater hero by New York citizens and is invited to attend to the Mighty Men's Day event, a civilian festival which celebrates the 15 Year Anniversary of the Avengers' foundation, next day. Once there, Spider-Man is eventually greeted by the Avengers themselves (recently joined by Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel and Scott Lang / Ant-Man) and, to the citizens' (including Mary Jane's) joy, earns membership on the team. Meanwhile, Mayor Norman Osborn is overseeing experiments which may help cure his son Harry, who is still in stasis with a black, web-like substance to help cure him of his terminal disease, until his lab is broken through by Hydra units commanded by the Red Skull, who seeks to use Oscorp's resources for his plans of global control. Alerted by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill of Skull's plans, the Avengers (accompanied by Spider-Man) raid Skull's lair in Russia, where they learn of Skull's plans to recreate the Devil's Breath virus and upgrade it into world-sized portions using one of the Kree Empire's planetary bombs and release it worldwide.

Instructed by a mysterious voice in his mind, Spider-Man and Ant-Man manage to sabotage the bomb by removing the Devil's Breath canister and replacing it for a mystical crystal (which suddenly appears before them) into its core. The bomb explodes and releases a mysterious cloud which affects some of the humans on Earth, including Mary Jane and Kamala. Next day, Peter is training Miles Morales to become a new hero until they discover that Mary Jane and Kamala had manifested new superpowers. Mary Jane now has Flight and Pyrokinetic abilities, and Kamala has Size/Shape-shifting and Healing Factor. After inspecting the bomb's radiation, Danvers confirms the crystal Peter and Lang used is composed of Terrigen Mist, a alien substance responsible for awakening the abilities of Inhumans, a race of altered human beings who were the result of experiments on ancient humans by the Kree Empire. Learning of this, Mary Jane and Kamala are taken in by Danvers to Attilan, an interstellar empire and safe heaven for Inhumans ruled by their king Black Bolt and his Royal Family (Queen Medusa, Princess Crystal, philosopher Karnak, general Gorgon and their family dog and teleporter Lockjaw). After doing some training together, Mary Jane and Kamala are given by Danvers their nanotech suits and adopt the monikers of Firestar and Ms. Marvel respectively.

Meanwhile, Peter goes with Rogers, Romanoff and Stark to confront and interrogate an apprehended Red Skull over the stolen Terrigen Crystal, on which Skull taunts that the recreation of the Devil's Breath was not his plan as he was merely a "vizier". Meanwhile, Barton and Hulk manage to stop a prison breakout at the Raft before interrogating Otto Octavius, who had become remorseful of his attempted actions against Norman Osborn, which indirectly resulted in May Parker's death. Just then, the Raft is invaded by Thanos (accompanied by Asgardian exiles Amora the Enchantress and Skurge the Executioner), who subdues Barton and Hulk and captures Octavius, but not before Barton implants a tracker in Octavius' neck so that the others will learn of Thanos' new plans.

Back in the Avengers Tower, the heroes overhear that Thanos is building a new army with the aid of his new Black Order composed of some of Earth's most unstable criminals with the goal to decimate the people of Attilan, whom Thanos sees as a great threat to his future plans. The Avengers set out to do their best to stop him. Overhearing that Osborn is the next target Thanos aims for, Peter, Lang and Stark infiltrate Oscorp and sneak into Osborn's secret lab. There, they find Harry being experimented on until they are discovered by Norman. All the sudden, the lab is broken through by Kree captain Yon-Rogg and a brainwashed Doctor Octopus, who subdue the heroes and kidnap Harry, whose black substance (revealed to be an alien Symbiote) is then converted by Amora and transforms Harry into a mindless goblin-like monster under Thanos' control.

Despite the tension between them and Norman for keeping the truth about Harry's whereabouts in secret, Peter and the others decide to move on to their mission as they get discuss more plans to stop Thanos. Overhearing of Thanos' plans to gather together the pieces of the Infinity Gauntlet (a device capable of harnessing the six Infinity Stones), the Avengers split in small teams to find and destroy the fragments before the Black Order can reassemble them. Despite clashing with some of Spider-Man's enemies (including members of Octavius' Sinister Six), the heroes manage to destroy the fragments before the Black Order can collect them.

On the middle of the Avengers' mission, Gwen and Anya sneak into Osborn's lab to further collect evidences of his envolvement with Thanos' attacks and expose him. The two succeed, although they are bitten by clones of the same spider which bit Morales before. Despite being discovered by Osborn's security guards as well as Yon-Rogg and Scorpion, the girls are saved by Spider-Man and Iron Man, who defeat the two villains and broadcast the collected data for all New York to see and hear.

Overhearing Thanos' plans to end the existence of Inhumans permanently, the Avengers gather at Attilan, where they mount a defense and hold their own against Thanos' forces, which arrive via portals projected with a prototype of the Space Stone. During the battle, Octavius is freed from Thanos' bounds by Spider-Man and Thanos' army is routed. Watson also manages to free Harry from his brainwashing, although he is still not cured from his mutation. An armored Thanos arrives on field and Spider-Man and the rest of the Avengers hold their own against him. Octavius provided Stark and Lang the resources to destroy the Devil's Breath generator before Thanos can use it, although he is killed by Enchantress for his defiance.

Overcoming his brainwashing, Harry manages to attack the Black Order members and kill them one by one before directly attacking Thanos, who severely wounds him. Peter, Stark and Lang battle and defeat Thanos and destroy the Devil's Breath generator, whih causes Thanos' armies (which were powered by the virus) to disintegrate. Peter and Mary Jane console Harry as he dies from his wounds and the Symbiote leaves his body. Thanos submerges from the wreackage and attempts to leave with the prototype Space Stone, but only to be wounded and killed with his own blade by Peter as Hulk destroys the prototype.

As Peter and Mary Jane hold a funeral for Harry, Norman is soon arrested in the Ratf on the wake of his criminal actions having been exposed by Gwen and Anya and Dr. Banner is made the new CEO of Oscorp, which is renamed Alchemax. One month later as New York progressively returns to normal, Peter and Mary Jane eventually get married in a ceremony attended by their friends, including the Avengers.
 * In a Mid-Credit scene, Gwen and Anya visit Kamala and reveal to her that they gained spider-like powers, prompting Kamala to ask if they should call Peter or Stark.
 * In a Post-Credit scene, Harry's Symbiote is shown crawling in a alley of New York stalking former journalist of Daily Bugle Eddie Brock, who soon bonds with the organism and feels ready to get revenge on J. Jonah Jameson and Carlton Drake.
