Activision Announces Spider-Man: Edge Of Time

OK, that Spider-Man game reveal slated for this weekend? Go ahead and keep your date with a liveblog of that WonderCon Beenox Studios-led panel, but go into the endeavor with these knowledge nuggets in tow: the game is called Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and it’ll feature a split narrative in the “connected and evolving” timelines of classic Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099. In other words, Edge of Time will have two distinct settings--the catch being that what Spider-Man does in one world will, supposedly, have an effect in the other as the dual Spider-Mans change the others’ timeline.
 

But why are these worlds colliding? Ah, you see, Peter Parker, somehow, gets good and dead before his corporeal number is called, so as the player, you’ll be tasked with fixing the error by switching back and forth between classic Spider-Man and the 2099 future.

No platforms have been mentioned as of yet, but the title is slated to release this Fall across, I’m assuming here, every platform that Activision considers viable. That panel I mentioned earlier will indeed feature the first “sneak peek” of the game, so stay tuned over the weekend to get a first taste of Spider-Man: Edge of Time. In the meanwhile, I suppose you can just stare at that delightful artwork.
