<P> Peter Parker is 23 years old and interning at a laboratory and has just graduated from college . Peter has been Spider - Man for eight years and has settled into his role as protector of New York City . Early in the story, Spider - Man defeats Wilson Fisk . Afterwards, a new gang emerges known as the Inner Demons who are taking over Fisk's territory . Spider - Man arrives at a construction site owned by Kingpin and must defend Kingpin's men who are under attack by the Inner Demons . While fending off the Inner Demons from the construction site, Peter learns that Martin Li, one of New York's most prominent philanthropists, leads the Inner Demons under his alter - ego Mister Negative . Martin also runs the F.E.A.S.T. shelters located across the city, which complicates things for Peter's personal life as his Aunt May works at F.E.A.S.T. </P> <P> Marvel Games approached Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) wanting them to publish a Marvel game and to treat the game like a first party SIE title . The game will be the first licensed game developed by Insomniac Games after 22 years of developing intellectual properties they have created, such as Spyro, Ratchet & Clank and Resistance . Bryan Intihar, the producer of Sunset Overdrive and former community manager of Insomniac Games, is the creative director of the project and Ryan Smith is the game director . It is Intihar's first time working in that role on a game . The community manager of Insomniac Games confirmed that they are using Sunset Overdrive's modified game engine . The game features the largest production team for an Insomniac game . The game was announced during Sony's E3 2016 press conference on June 13 . It will be the first in a series of games made by Insomniac and Sony and marks the start of Marvel Games' new strategy to work with the "best game companies" who are passionate about their characters . </P> <P> Yuri Lowenthal is the voice actor and John Bubniak is the physical actor for Spider - Man in the game . In early 2015, Lowenthal got the role after some initial pushback within Insomniac due to him voicing one of the main playable characters for Insomniac's most recently released game at the time, Sunset Overdrive, but ultimately the game's lead writer Jon Paquette convinced the studio to cast him in the role due to his trust in Lowenthal's acting ability . Lowenthal worked with two stunt people throughout the game's development . He tried to differentiate between his voices for Peter Parker and Spider - Man but thought that they could not be totally different and as a result spent a large amount of time "finessing and massaging" his performance to achieve a balance . Jon Paquette, Christos Gage, Ben Arfmann, and Dan Slott serve as writers of the game . </P> <P> In April 2017, Ryan Penagos, Vice President and Executive Editor of Marvel Digital Media, stated that the game would be released in 2017 . At Sony's E3 2017 conference, the first gameplay demo was shown and it was announced that the game would be released in 2018 . Shawn Layden, the president of SIE America and chairman of SIE Worldwide Studios later confirmed that Spider - Man, and SIE's other games announced for 2018 at the conference, will be released in the first half of 2018 . The game is scheduled to be released on September 7, 2018 . </P>
