Activision couldn’t just wait a few days until WonderCon, could it? The publisher has gone ahead and announcedSpider-Man: Edge of Timetoday.
Developed by Beenox,Edge of Timeputs players into the web-slinging roles of both Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. The goal: “correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the early and untimely death of Peter Parker.” Sounds serious.
The game’s narrative is being penned bySpider-Man 2099co-creator Peter David. It sounds like the good old Spidey action we love is back, but with a twist: “cause-and-effect” gameplay. Activision says decisions and actions made in one timeline will cause changes in another. Whether or not that will be completely in the hands of the player or tightly scripted remains to be seen.
More details aboutSpider-Man: Edge of Timewill be revealed this weekend at WonderCon at the Activision/Spider-Man panel (April 2, 4:30 PM, Room 103).
