Speaking to Italian gaming siteEveryeyeat a recent press issue , biz director Bryan Intihar revealed what ’s dissimilar about Mary Jane . Top of the list , Intihar explain her role as an investigative diarist makes her a critical part of Insomniac ’s storyline :

" I imagine she could be an investigative reporter , possibly looking into these Inner Demons and what ’s happening in New York now that the Kingpin , AKA Wilson Fisk , is out of the secret plan . Ultimately , it was more about decide what we wanted from Peter and his journey . Mary Jane ’s role came as a result of that , to equilibrize everything out . "

Cleverly , MJ ’s new career path make her a big part of the biz instead of being just another damozel in distress . Also , while she begin the plot separated from Peter , it means she can carve out her own storyline instead of just being do it as the lady friend of the independent character .

It just would n’t be   Spider - Man without MJ , so Insomniac made sure the iconic redhead is part of their reimagined Spiderverse . Since she was first introduced in 1965 , Intihar and his team had some 53 age of MJ account to work with to determine how they wanted to manage the reference . It turns out thatSpider - Manneeded to include a vulnerable version of Parker who asks for help every once in a while . Intihar went on to explicate that this is how Mary Jane became part of the title :

“ Once we had design this situation , the obvious question was : ‘ Who could help oneself him along this journeying ? ’ and the answer could n’t but be Mary Jane , a woman that ’s been previously feature as an actress , as a nine owner , roles that I was n’t able-bodied to outfit with everything else in the secret plan . "

With a   sheer reinvention of many Hellenic Spider - Man characters , Insomniac is n’t afraid of the comparisons   to Rocksteady’sArkhamgames . Just as the Arkhamverse expanded Vicki Vale into a   no - gimcrack investigative journalist , Intihar has done the same with Mary Jane Watson . Although Vale was a forgettable character of Rocksteady ’s series and was outshone by a playable Catwoman , here ’s hopingSpider - Mangives MJ the part she merit .
