It’s hard to imagine Marvel Spider-Man on PS4 (and later PS5) without Aunt May. She plays a vital role in the game and appears in several movie scenes along with the other main characters in the story.

But Slott retracted that decision, telling GameMe that he was “determined” that Aunt Mae should be in this game and not just as a voice you hear on the radio. According to Slott, he eventually convinced Insomniac to include May in the game after making it clear to the developers that it didn’t have to be. this age To remain Aunt Mai.
