Last year we saw the release of Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. Although the game didn't get great reviews, it was one of the better Spider-Man games. In Shattered Dimensions, players controlled Spider-Man in four different universes namely Noir, Amazing, Spiderman 2099 and Ultimate Spider-Man.
The new Spider-Man game titled Spider-Man Edge of Time was announced at WonderCon 2011 in San Francisco and is expected to hit store shelves in the 2011 fall. The game is not a sequel to last year's title and has a completely fresh storyline. It is however being developed by Beenox studios (Now owned by Activision) who developed Shattered Dimensions. No specific platforms were mentioned but the game is expected to hit all the current generation platforms namely the XBOX 360, PS3, PSP, Nintendo DS and PC.
Spider-Man Edge of Time will take place in two Universes namely the Amazing Spider-Man universe and Spider-Man 2099 universe. Marvel writer Peter David who wrote the story of Shattered Dimensions is scripting the storyline of Edge of Time.
In this iteration of the game, both Spider-Men must work together to prevent the death of Peter Parker.
Although the core gameplay mechanics will stay true to tradition, the biggest change is that the heroes of both the universes will have to work together to save the day
