https://www.cnet.com/news/marvels-spider-man-on-ps4-everything-you-need-to-know/ > Every now and then, game is announced at E3 that teases a fervent fandom. Two years ago, that was Marvel's Spider-Man, a PlayStation 4-exclusive take on the iconic hero made by Insomniac Games -- the studio behind Sunset Overdrive, Ratchet and Clank and the upcoming Spyro the Dragon remake. Now, the game is finally gearing up for release. We're sure to see more at Sony's E3 press conference, but here's what we know so far > Insomniac's new take on Spider-Man is all new — which is to say that it's not directly connected to any Spider-Man story told in past video-games, comic books, or the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When it was announced, however, there was some confusion: the E3 2016 reveal took place just a month after Tom Holland wore the Spidey-suit in Captain America: Civil War. Instead, Marvel is giving Insomniac the freedom to tell an all-new story about Peter Parker's life as a hero.
