Last week, during Sony’s PlayStation 4 e3 showcase, one of the biggest revelations during the 90-minute presentation of title, was the video game exclusivity of future Spider-Man games. Marvel Entertainment President, Jay Ong, sat down recently with Venture Beat to explain his company’s new deal between both Sony Entertainment and Insomniac Games.

The upcoming third-person and Manhattan-based title will not tie into the main movie series – instead present a more experienced (older) web-crawler those of you are familiar with. As both Marvel and Sony ready the 2017 rollout for Spider-Man: Homecoming due out next summer, take a look at Mr. Ong below explaining what fans can expect in the coming years for the now AAA-title.

The emphasis was on this obsession with quality. And more than quality, certain things like—this has to be better than just good enough. It has to be great. Our games have to have lasting value that we’re all proud of. Part of it involved being very discriminating in who we partner with. This is a case in point. Sony and Insomniac are two of the best game companies on earth, from the publishing side and from the development side. Picking the right partners was the key.

It was also finding a franchise-driven and character-driven approach to products, as opposed to one-offs. Making sure we made these franchises sustainable. That gives developers more freedom. Going away from movie games was a big pivot. Those just didn’t work for us in the past. The idea of creating original storylines, giving the developers the freedom to create something new—from a creative standpoint that’s liberating for our partners – resulting in great games.
