It is worth mentioning that this decision makes it clear that each developer will have the freedom to create their own stories.
“The world is surprisingly very familiar and accepting of the multiverse. We have all these different realities. Now they are all real and we want to give everyone the freedom to tell their story. We don’t want to say ‘you can’t do this, because this game from this other studio needs that’. We want to give everyone the freedom and a clear path to tell what they want”explained Bill Rosemann, the Vice President of Marvel Games.
