Conception and development

[edit]

Video games featuringMarvel Comicscharacters were primarily developed and published byActivisionsince 1998, with the characterSpider-Manappearing inmultiple titlesboth as the primary playable character and as a supporting character since 2000.[1]However, asMarvel Gamesvice president Jay Ong would come to reflect on in 2016, the terms of Marvel and Activision's deal necessitated quicker development periods on games in order to tie such products intoupcoming filmsbased around Marvel properties. Ong would reminisce about how it was "difficult to succeed" under those circumstances as a result of instances where "there wasn't enough time to come out with something truly terrific".[2]Dissatisfied with the eventual output of the publisher, Marvel Games would elect to terminate their partnership with Activision in 2014 just prior to the release of the movie tie-in game,The Amazing Spider-Man 2.[3][4]During a meeting with executives from the publishing firm, Ong would be asked by Activision, "What are you going to do with this IP after you get it back?". Ong would cite a need to "find a better home for it" in response, with the publisher's representative taunting him in return, "Good luck finding your unicorn".[5]

To rejuvenate the IP, Ong's primary objective was to find "a publishing partner who hadn't adopted the" crappy licensed games "mentality", as well as one with "a vested interest that would benefit from building a franchise".[6]In particular, Marvel Games were looking to create a gaming IP around one of their characters that would rival the likes of theBatman: Arkhamseries fromWB GamesandRocksteady Studios,credited with legitimizing and popularizing video game adaptations based on comic book characters.[7]The primary candidates considered for spearheading Marvel's new commitment toAAAgames wereMicrosoft Studios,Sony Interactive EntertainmentandNintendo.Nintendo was ruled out initially as a result of the technical limitations of the Nintendo Switch as well as the publisher's perceived dedication to pursuing games using their owncharactersandfranchises(though they would eventually collaborate with Marvel in developingMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order(2019) forNintendo Switch[8]), while Microsoft turned down Marvel's offer due to a desire to focus on building their own IP (They would later collaborate with Marvel on producing the upcomingMarvel's Bladethrough publisherBethesda Softworks[9]).[10]Eventually, Jay Ong would meet with Sony executivesAdam Boyesand John Drake, in order to pitch an overall development deal with Marvel, with the hope that they could collaborate and "beatArkhamand have one game at least and maybe multiple games that could drive adoption ", of Sony'sPlayStationplatforms.[11][5]

SIE eventually signed off on the deal, prompting their Vice President of Product DevelopmentConnie Boothto visit developerInsomniac Gamesin order to speak with studio CEOTed Price,with discussions about the potential Marvel project being heldoff-the-record.[12][13]Price was described as being "fairly neutral" towards the prospects of developing a game based on a Marvel Comics property, as Insomniac up to that point purely worked on their own original franchises, but his development team were comparatively enthusiastic about the project.[14]As Marvel allowed Insomniac to select any of their characters to adapt, the team decided on Spider-Man as a result of being able to relate to the dynamic presented between the heroic Spider-Man and his everyman alter-ego, Peter Parker.[14]They would also come to find the task of adapting the character daunting, as a result of his popularity, in addition to the numerous existing stories and interpretations of the character bothin comicsandin other media.However, they also welcomed the challenge, particularly art director Jacinda Chew, who consulted online resources and various Marvel staff in order to cultivate extensive knowledge of the character.[13]

Creative director Bryan Intihar said: "I feel like he's the most relatable of the heroes. As much as I loveTony Stark,it's harder to identify with a billionaire. As much as I loveThor,it's hard to identify with a god. Peter makes mistakes, he has ups and downs in his career, his relationships, his family. I think we can all relate to that ".[13]Price also commented that Spider-Man "is so human, and he's so relatable. He's also the most popular Marvel character in the world, I think". Price also considered the technical benefits;Sunset Overdrivehas a dynamic traversal system that could be built upon for Spider-Man.[15]Spider-Manbecame the first licensed property developed by Insomniac in its then 22-year existence.[12]

Upon the announcement of thespin-offtitleMarvel's Spider-Man: Miles Moralesfor thePlayStation 4andPlayStation 5,[16]Sony vice president Simon Rutter toldThe Telegraphthat the game was "an expansion and an enhancement tothe previous game",while Insomniac later called the project a standalone game, stating that it is" the next adventure in theMarvel's Spider-Manuniverse ". It is smaller in size and scope thanSpider-Man,and has been compared toUncharted: The Lost Legacy,a game which served as a standalone expansion that was smaller in size and scope than a mainlineUnchartedtitle. The game was additionally described as featuring "a new story, with new set-pieces, fresh villains, and unique quests".[17]

During the development ofMarvel's Spider-Man,Insomniac, Marvel and SIE discussed prospects for future games based onMarvel Comicsproperties beyond Spider-Man, with the team at Insomniac continually suggesting their desire to work on a game featuringWolverine.The development team were drawn to the character through the similar moral compass he shares with Spider-Man, notably the fact that "both heroes feel deeply compelled to defend people who are less able to do so". Insomniac eventually elected to pitch this idea to both Marvel and Sony as their next licensed property following their successful collaboration with the two parties on developingMarvel's Spider-Man.[18]Marvel's Wolverineis currently being developed alongsideMarvel's Spider-Man 2(2023), which was jointly announced in September 2021.[19]For the latter game, Bryan Intihar and Ryan Smith serve as the game's creative and game directors, respectively reprising their roles fromSpider-Man.[citation needed]

Marvel's Spider-Manseries was later released onWindowsalongside the existing PlayStation versions starting withSpider-Man Remasteredin August 2022, andMiles Moraleslater that November, marking another push by the publisher to release its variousPlayStation Studiostitles onPC.A support studioNixxes Software,whom Sony acquired in July 2021, helped in porting the games to PC.[20][21][22][23]

In December 2023, Insomniac Games was subjected to a ransomware attack by the group Rhysida, who successfully breached approximately 1.67terabytes(TB) of studio assets, such as development documents, internal financial forecasts, and compromising sensitive information pertaining to various employees and staff members at the developer.[24]Following the initial attack, Rhysida threatened to release all procured images and resources obtained from the hack seven days from the incident, additionally holding an auction for the data with a starting price at 50Bitcoin,equivalent to $2 million USD. Sony Interactive Entertainment issued a statement toVideo Games Chroniclestating their intent to investigate the reports surrounding the hack, but did not anticipate the incident to affect other divisions of SIE or Sony Corporation as a whole.[25]Upon the deadline's conclusion, company information including employee data, model dumps and pre-production slates for various games in development were published online. The materials principally concerned production assets related toMarvel's Wolverine,but also comprised other assets that alluded to the existence of multiple other Marvel video games at various stages in development, such as a standaloneVenomspin-off game,Marvel's Spider-Man 3,and a previously canceledmultiplayergame titledMarvel's Spider-Man: The Great Webthat derived heavily from the concept of the "Spider-Verse"and featured a playable roster of alternateSpider-People.Other projects included proposed online expansions forMarvel's Spider-Man 2andMarvel's Wolverine,andMarvel's X-Men,a standalone game focusing on theteam of the same namethat was expected to narratively followMarvel's Wolverine.[26][27][28][29][30]Additionally, an internal presentation detailing the royalty andexclusivitymargins between Sony Interactive Entertainment and Marvel, revealed that the publisher had signed a new agreement for Insomniac Games to develop licensedX-Menvideo games until 2035, with the expectation thatMarvel's Wolverinewould begin a standalone trilogy of games centered aroundmutantcharacters in a similar vein to theSpider-Mangames.[31][32]
