New Spiderman Game To Be Revealed Soon

Beenox is hitting WonderCon with footage, screens, and details in tow.

During the fabled investor call in which we learned about the death of Guitar Hero, one of the few IPs Activision still seemed excited about was Spider-Man. And as you’d suspect from the sequel-happy company, we’ll see a new title following Shattered Dimensions soon. In fact, we’ve got a reveal date, time, and place: Saturday, April 2, at some point between 4:30 and 5:30 PST, at WonderCon in San Francisco. 

According to an MTV report and a WonderCon listing, Shattered Dimensions developer Beenox will be giving a presentation during this time that’ll have the first "details, screenshots and videos” of the studio's new Spiderman game. The presentation will start, however, with a look back at Shattered Dimensions and lead into a discussion about what Beenox has learned from handling that specific project.   

  

  
 
== TEASER ==Here are the official details on the presentation from the listing, if you’re curious: 

Marvel, Activision, and acclaimed developer Beenox are headed to WonderCon with all-new Spider-Man videogame content! First, take a tour with Beenox down memory lane of the award-winning 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions,' and discuss their post-launch reactions and what key learnings from the fans they are applying to future games. Next, be the first to check out exclusive details, screenshots and videos of the next Spider-Man game, with game development talent from Beenox, acclaimed Marvel writer Peter David (co-creator of 'Spider-Man 2099'), voiceover talent Josh Keaton (voice of 'Spider-Man in The Spectacular Spider-Man' and 'Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions') and Marvel's VP of games production, TQ Jefferson.


I missed Shattered Dimensions, but I hear a lot of good things about it. It’ll be interesting to see what Beenox has up its sleeves with its next Spider-Man romp, especially since it's taking past feedback to heart. What do you want out of the next title?

Ultimate Spider-Man was an awesome game. I'd love to see a sequel as well.

After the initial hopes, that last game seemed to fade away very quickly. Not sure they can make Spiderman interesting enough (i.e. "do a Batman") given that he is basically a whiny jerk in the comic books.

Needless to say, nothing has been learned from Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero by Activision.

I really enjoyed Shattered Dimensions. Sure it has its button-mashing moments. But overall it was great having 4 different Spider-Men to experiment with. A plethora of upgrades and achievements didn't hurt either.

I hope it's an all Noir game! I don't care if it's a blatant ripoff of Arkham Asylum, I still loved it.

I did! Still the best Spider-Man game IMO. 
 
I enjoyed Shattered Dimensions quite a bit, hopefully Beenox will be able to make this next one just as good. But, fix the camera problems....Spider-Man games have had terrible camera issues for over 10 years now, enough is enough.

Shattered Dimensions was ok, I don't know how they can continue to make Spider-man games when Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero are being shelved.

but seriously, cant they take a break from the spiderman games? Make a solid Daredevil game, or jump back onto Wolverive (the movie adapt was bad ass).
 i hate how these companies can never let go of something... thats why i love bungie.

It was good, and pretty fun at times, but also had some pretty disappointing parts. Certainly no personal favorite of mine.  As for Spiderman games, I haven't actually played one since the first movie game. These last few have looked alright though. "
I'm just saying, if you liked the Spider-Man: Noir portions, the gameplay was pretty much lifted wholesale from Arkham (except the combat system), though I DO have to give them credit for crafting vastly superior boss battles for Shattered Dimensions. 
Web of Shadows is also worth a look, incidentally, if you want to get back into it. That and this are pretty much the best Spidey games to come out in a LONG time.

What they need to do, is stick to one universe, I enjoyed Shattered Dimensions, but I felt that they were not fledged out enough, I'd love to see Spider-Man game based in the Noir Universe

In all seriousness, I actually really enjoyed (and S-ranked) Shattered Dimensions, so the fact that the traditionally difficult to pin down IP is sticking with the same developer gives me a little hope.

@joetenac: Aww, man.  That's a bummer, but you're probably right.  The thing I was digging about the Spider-Man games, was that despite them not being all too great, they were at least trying some pretty crazy things out and not just sticking to any one thing (pun intended).

Wait a minute. If this is a follow-up to last year's Shattered Dimensions, I guess we can assume that it has nothing to do with next year's movie. Since Activision will probably also make a tie-in for the film, this newly announced game will probably come out this year, as to not steal their own thunder. Does that mean Spider-Man will be an annualized franchise now? That seems crazy, even for Activision.
