Beenox is the developer responsible for Spider-Man’s most recent adventures, including Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time, which were adequate games, but lacked one key component: New York City. Both went with separated, linear levels, leaving behind the open world trappings of Spidey games of old. After a few years break, Beenox is taking Peter Parker back to where he fits in best, as the newly announced Amazing Spider-Man movie game will feature an open NYC once more.
That same day our old friend One of Swords aka Dan Amrich had some more choice details. Apparently the team is very influenced by the Spider-Man 2 game, arguably still the best Spidey game, and that there’s a mysterious new element to the title that will immerse players more than ever. Additionally, the game takes place after the Amazing Spider-Man film, so don’t expect a simple retread of scenes from the movie. We’re hearing all the right things about this game, but the letdown of Edge of Time still stings. Until we see more, let’s say we’re cautiously optimistic.
