Beenox and Activison have teamed up to bring the wall-crawler back to the world of video games with "Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions," which is slated to be released this fall for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii.
To bring this story to life, Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott was brought on board to scribe Spidey's latest adventure. The story focuses a magical artifact known as the Tablet of Order and Chaos. During a heist gone wrong the tablet is broken into 4 different pieces and spread out through a mired of different dimensions.
In order to save the day you must take Spidey to all these different dimensions and retrieve the pieces of the tablet. Of course there is a twist, as you travel to different dimensions you get to control different incarnations of the web-head. Everything from his classic look to the more obscure "Noir" mini-series incarnation. For your viewing pleasure you can check out a video interview with game producer Megahan Morgan and the first trailer of the game below.
Activision Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Entertainment have released the first details of Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, the newest entry of non-stop heroic action to star the iconic wall-crawler. The video game is scheduled for release in September 2010 and will allow players to travel through four different worlds as distinctly different versions of Spider-Man from four universes across Marvel lore, two of which are announced today: The Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man Noir.
As Spider-Man, players will experience a wide variety of gameplay and dramatic environments. The Amazing Spider-Man experience delivers innovative web combat and visuals in a world that pays tribute to the classic era of the legendary Super Hero. In contrast, Spider-Man Noir features a cunning and covert depiction of Spider-Man, who utilizes shadows to perform stealth takedowns in a 1930's-influenced, black-and-white cinematic environment.
“Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions delivers an original storyline that bridges four unique worlds,” said Rob Kostich, Head of Marketing, Activision Publishing, Inc. “Each action-packed universe will have its own detailed art design and thrilling missions, challenging gamers to use new skill sets to defeat enemies as they unlock powerful new moves and progress through the game.”
Penned by acclaimed Marvel comic book writer Dan Slott, the story takes players on a mission to capture the magical energy of the Tablet of Order and Chaos, which has been shattered and scattered across parallel universes. Gamers are challenged to battle fan-favorite villains such as the lethal Kraven and a custom, never-before-seen Noir version of Hammerhead, in a quest to restore the fabric of reality.
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is developed by Beenox and not yet rated.
