Activision announces Spider-Man: Edge of Time

Activision has announced Spider-Man: Edge of Time, which is scheduled for release later this year. It's currently in development at Beenox, the same team that developed last year's Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.

In Edge of Time, players will assume the roles of both the classic Amazing Spider-Man and also Spider-Man 2099 in order to change history and prevent the untimely death of Peter Parker.

"The first Spider-Man entry by Beenox, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimension was touted as one of the best Spider-Man games to date from both critics and fans,” said Vicharin Vadakan, Director, Global Brand Management. "Beenox is once again taking a fresh and different approach to bring a high-octane adventure and unexpected story to life in Spider-Man: Edge of Time.”

"At Beenox, we are constantly listening to the fans and looking for new and creative ways to innovate the gameplay experience for them,” said Dee Brown, Studio Head, Beenox.  "We want to create a totally distinct experience in Spider-Man: Edge of Time by working with Peter David on the story and creating this urgent, high-stakes experience where time is working against you and the fate of Spider-Man hangs in the balance.”

Spider-Man: Edge of Time will release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Nintendo Wii, DS and 3DS.
