The NAU (Canada, U.S.A, Mexico) is no more and has been divided up by the other world powers. It's gonna be a radically different setting for Ultimate Spider-man come January.
For those confused as to where the story continues from UU #1 I would imagine in Spider-Man since Hickman is writing that and the spider was in that case they stole. Also the ending implied May, Norman Osborne and his wife are all either missing or dead.
Which will most likely complicate things should Tony try to recruit Peter, as Peter would be thinking, like most everyone else, that Tony was responsible for his Aunt May's death (and the Osborns, too). Even aside from that personal loss, with Tony being Public Enemy #1 thanks to the Maker's Council's machinations, I could see Peter being incredibly wary around him, especially a Peter with far more to lose, being a married adult with two children.
The spider is always on the hunt.
The beauty of this variable Ultimate Universe idea is that you can make it whatever you choose. There is no status quo you have to stick to. This is like a alternate reality Earth, and you can change the characters to a dog, an over weight hero Dinosaur hero, and have it take place in Old Man Logan world. There is no imperative to return it to 1610.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
I wonder if the inevitable Avengers in this new universe will still be called the Ultimates like in the OG Ultimate Universe or if they'll just be the Avengers like they are traditionally
