Watch the newest trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game, featuring Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter, and the Kingpin, plus movie villains.
Being labeled a hero or menace kind of just comes with the web-slinging territory. Yet in the new The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game, it takes on a whole new meaning as both a narrative and gameplay mechanic.
In the new trailer, several villains and anti-heroes who (probably) aren’t appearing in the actual The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie are introduced, including the Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter, and one Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin. According to Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, Fisk has hired her to kill the Spider-Man, but worse still has turned the city against him as a menace. This will apparently feed into Beenox’s new “Hero or Menace” gameplay system that will reward gamers or punish them depending on their do-gooding altruism or apathetic desire to let criminality fester in New York City. The game will also feature new gameplay mechanics for fighting and swinging, as well as an “enhanced” fully free-roam Manhattan skyline.
Activision and Beenox, the union that produced the 2012 The Amazing Spider-Man game, will release The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on April 29, 2014 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, and Nintendo 3DS.
