Santa Monica, CA – October 4, 2011 – Today, Spider-Man™ faces his greatest challenge ever – saving Spider-Man – in Spider-Man™: Edge of Time, available now in North American retail stores from Activision Publishing, Inc.

Created by Beenox – the studio that developed last year’s popular Spider-Man™: Shattered Dimensions – players take the roles of both Peter Parker’s Amazing Spider-Man, and Miguel O’Hara’s Spider-Man 2099 in a harrowing, action-packed adventure, spanning two timelines 100-years apart in order to thwart a cataclysmic future from happening – and the death of Peter Parker.

“Just like with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Beenox is bringing a fresh perspective to the series with Spider-Man: Edge of Time,” said David Oxford, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Activision Publishing, Inc. “Dee Brown and the team at Beenox worked closely with Marvel’s own veteran writer and co-creator of Spider-Man 2099, Peter David, on a high-stakes narrative experience where the ultimate challenge is not only to save the world, but also save Spider-Man himself.”
