Activision has announced that Beenox will be the lead developer on upcoming Spider-Man titles. Beenox, a development studio wholly owned by Activision, previously released the well received Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions – we awarded it a solid 7/10.
“Beenox’s creative vision reinvigorated the Spider-Man gaming experience among critics and fans in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions,” said Patrick Kelly, senior vice president, Activision Studios. “We can’t wait to see where this talented studio will take this franchise in the future.”
“We are thrilled with this opportunity to continue our close, collaborative relationship with Activision, Marvel and everyone’s friendly, neighbourhood hero, Spider-Man,” said Dee Brown, studio head, Beenox. “Being able to map out Spider-Man’s interactive future gives us the creative freedom to really craft the best gaming experience for the fans.”
No details on the next Spider-Man game have been announced.
While some people preferred the Spider-Man games that featured more free-roaming exploration (namely Spider-Man 2), Shattered Dimensions was received well by critics and is a strong title to build on.
A new Spider-Man movie is scheduled for release in July 2012, so a video game tie-in is a dead certainty.
