The latest Spider-Man game from publisher Activision has been officially revealed. It's titled Spider-Man Edge of Time and it comes from developer Bennox who brought us last year's game Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions. The new game features both the normal Peter Parker web slinger and the future version, Spider-Man 2099 (pictured above as he was seen in Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions).

The storyline comes from Peter David, who created Spider-Man 2099 in the now canceled comic book series of the same name. The story involves time travel and "the early and untimely death of Peter Parker" with players dealing with "cause and effect" gameplay as actions in one timeline changing events in the other. The game is due out this fall but so far no platforms have been announced.

2010's release of Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions got solid reviews and sales (even though the PC version of Beenox's action game turned out to be a Wal Mart exclusive). Now there's word that the next game starring Marvel Comics' wall-crawling super hero from publisher Activision will get a reveal very soon.

In fact it could come as early as next Saturday. The annual Wonder Con event in San Francisco has revealed its programming schedule and on April 2 it states there will be a Spider-Man games panel where attendees will be the "first to check out exclusive details, screenshots and videos of the next Spider-Man game." The panel for the game will include acclaimed comic book writer Peter David which seems to be a big hint that he will be involved in some way.

Activision's Spider-Man game license has been a solid one for the game publisher and last year's release of Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions from Activision's in-house game developer Beenox got a lot of good critical notices (the PC version was released as a Wal-Mart exclusive last November).

Activision was apparently happy enough with Beenox's work on the game that today they announced that Beenox will now be the primary developer for Activision's upcoming and unannounced games featuring Marvel Comics' favorite web slinger. There's no word yet on what the next Spider-man game will be about nor when will it be released.

Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions' PC version now has a set release date and, at it happens, an exclusive retailer at least here in the US. The game's official Facebook page has revealed that Walmart will be the only place gamers can get the PC version of the recent super hero action game from developer Beenox and publisher Activision. The game will be made available for Thankgiving weekend here in the US.

The Facebook page also states that the PC version will be released on November 24 in Asia and Australia and on November 26 in Europe. There's no word if Activision plans to offer the game via digital download as well.

Earlier this week publisher Activision released the action game Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions for various consoles. However the publisher also sneaked in a notice in the official press release that the title will be coming to the PC as well. Big Download emailed Activision's PR rep who confirmed that the title will be released for the PC sometime later this this year.

The console versions from developer Beenox have been getting some solid reviews this week as gamers check out not one but four different versions of Marvel Comics' web slinger: the classic costume Amazing version, the black suited Ultimate version, the futuristic 2099 version and the pulp inspired Noir version.

The Blizzard portion of Activision Blizzard has already admitted that it might have two game titles released in 2010 but what about the Activision portion of the company? In their regular quarterly conference call with analysts today, Activision execs hinted about their 2010 lineup, which already includes their delayed original first person shooter Singularity.

You can definately look for new entries in Activision's many popular franchises of the past including Call of Duty, Spider-Man, and James Bond. However, they also said to expect an "innovative property in the $4b action genre" sometime next year as well. Hmmm..we wonder what that could be like?
