Spider-Man: Edge Of Time Announced

Beenox made waves last year as they produced Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, an ambitious and exciting new take on the Webbed Wonder that recieved an 8/10 here, so most fans were happy to hear the video game developer would continue to produce Spidey instalments on all consoles from now on. With the aforementioned team-up under their belt and a confirmed adaptation of next year's film reboot The Amazing Spider-Man already in development, Beenox had only to choose where they would take the comic book incarnation of Marvel's iconic web-slinger this year. Enter Spider-Man: Edge Of Time, set for release this Autumn on all formats. Once again, players will have the chance to become multiple versions of the protagonist, but this time things are different, as shown by the official blurb: "Edge Of Time is a focused, action-packed adventure set in two connected and evolving timelines, from the contemporary times of the Amazing Spider-Man to the corrupted future world of Spider-Man 2099, where the players must help correct a timestream gone awry and prevent a catastrophic future brought on by the untimely death of Peter Parker." In terms of game-play, Beenox say we can expect "cause and effect" to play a role, whereby players will see how "the immediate and sometimes unexpected effects of their actions as one Spider-Man change the timeline of the other Spider-Man". Irradicating the Noir and Ultimate universes (which both got repetitive fast in Shattered Dimensions) to focus more on two versions of Spider-Man was probably a good move by the developers, and we'll bring you the first screenshots and trailer for Edge Of Time this weekend!
