Spidey returns to gaming the same week of his new movie.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game now has an official release date of April 29, 2014, which is the very same week that the highly anticipated sequel is set to hit theaters. The game will be launching on a number of different platforms, including PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PC.
Developed by Beenox and published by Activision, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will mark a return to the series’ open world format, with an expansive free roam area and even a morality system called “Hero or Menace.” There will also be detective side missions in the game, as players assume the role of Spider-Man’s human identity Peter Parker during certain sections of the gameplay.
For players who want to jump on this news, Activision has also announced some special pre-order bonuses, including a special Web Threads Suit Pack DLC for anyone who orders the game through Game Stop. The Web Threads Suit Pack contains four different costumes in all for Spidey to wear, including a Venom-like “Black Suit” and a pulp-style “Noir Suit.”
