The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an upcoming 2014 action-adventure video game that will coincide with the release of the film of the same name featuring the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man. It is being developed by Beenox, developer of the previous games Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time and The Amazing Spider-Man, and published by Activision. It will be released in spring 2014 for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Plot

The game takes place alongside the events of the film, as Spider-Man searches for Uncle Ben's killer. The game will feature an all-star villain cast from Spider-Man's universe, and will feature both new and old characters.

The game shall feature Kraven the Hunter and Electro

Gameplay

The game will retain it's open world gameplay of previous entries in the franchise. The game's free roam area will be more expansive and detailed than that of the previous game's, and most of the story will take place in the open world. In addition to advanced combat and upgrades, there will be different types of webbing (example, the player can use different webbings to freeze or blow up something on impact), and web-slinging will be similar to that of Spider-Man 2.

Morality is used in a new system known as "Hero or Menace" where players will be rewarded for stopping crimes or punished for not consistently doing so or not responding. You will be able to upgrade your web shooters. During certain sections of the game, the player will control Spider-Man's citizen alter ego Peter Parker and walk around New York and do detective work.

Development

The game was announced at New York Comic Con 2013.
