[/spoiler]

The Avengers game is going to recieve exclusice content on PS4, including Spider-Man as an exclusive playable character.


Developer Cold Iron Studios Acquired by Daybreak Games

EDIT: Yes, it's official. Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster will, in fact, be featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series... as DLC.

Additionally, Dante's passive ability Son's Oath was buffed. Dante now has Pierce.

As for why this is DLC instead of being on the base game, I pressume it has to do with licencing issues. Let's say that after many years the deal with Capcom expires again, Atlus can simply remove the DLC from digital stores instead of removing the whole game. Plus, we still have Raidou Kuzonoha XIV, who is in the base game.

EDIT 2:

Bryan Lee O'Malley, creator of the Scott Pilgrim comic, tweeted Ubisoft asking to bring back the Scott Pilgrim vs The World game
