Marvel's Spider-Man: Where Is Gwen Stacy In Insomniac's Universe?

screenrant.com:

Gwen Stacy's absence in Marvel's Spider-Man game has many fans wondering where she might be in Insomniac's Marvel universe and what her status is. Spider-Man is one of Marvel's best games, creating its own version of Peter Parker and the world he lives in, expertly blending decades of Marvel Comics lore with new elements that create a version of Spider-Man that is both fresh and faithful. While the PlayStation 4 title crammed in as many villains and supporting characters as its narrative allowed for, there are some big omissions from the game's world and story. Gwen Stacy, who was Peter Parker's first major love interest, is one of the game's biggest absences. Gwen not only doesn't appear in Marvel's Spider-Man, but she isn't even mentioned through the in-game dialogue or the lore-heavy backpacks that players can collect.

While it isn't surprising that Gwen Stacy doesn't appear in the game due to the story's focus on Marvel's Spider-Man's version of Mary Jane Watson, it is a bit unusual that she is never mentioned by any of the game's characters. Most versions of Spider-Man feature Gwen Stacy as Parker's first true love, and her iconic death at the hands of the Green Goblin as one of Spider-Man's early defining failures that help shape his character. Marvel's Spider-Man's version of the character is already several years into his career as Spider-Man and has had a relationship with Mary Jane Watson. At this point in Spider-Man's life, Gwen has typically already died; however, there are some details that cast doubt on this possibility.
