Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Beenox is working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it has been revealed. Activision will publish the game in May 2014 for Wii U, 3DS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC. The launch will tie in with next year’s film.
Beenox’s François Taddei says The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will offer “more challenges”, an improved and more realistic web-swing mechanic, and a battle system with more depth. The story will apparently encompass more than just the film in order to delve deeper into Peter Parker’s personality.
Fans can expect new villains as well as familiar faces. Thanks to a new “Hero” system, Manhattan will feel more lively, and there will be consequences for letting chaos happens.
More details should be revealed at Comic Con later today.

No specific time frame has been stated yet. We have made no specific announcements for Europe regarding Wii production.”
