News: A new trailer shows off a bit of the story that we can expect from Spidey’s newest adventure in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is set to come out later this month for current and last gen consoles. To help whet your appetite a bit, Activision has just released a new story trailer showing the game off in action. As we get closer to the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, time may be running out for Spider Man who finds himself beset on all sides by a legion of his greatest adversaries.

This new trailer casts the spotlight on Wilson Fisk - the Kingpin - whose armed Task Force has promised to protect New York from the masked menaces endangering the city...whomever they might be. In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, players once again assume the role of the iconic Super Hero in a unique side-story inspired by the feature film but set in its own continuity. Throughout his journey, Spider-Man will encounter a number of new foes as well as some old friends, as he confronts a new threat to his beloved city. The narrative will give Peter Parker, Spider-Man’s nerdy photojournalist persona, a greater role in the spotlight, as he investigates the complicated motivations and unique personalities behind the menagerie of Marvel menaces threatening Manhattan.

“The first The Amazing Spider-Man game gave players their own beautifully animated, free-roaming city of Manhattan to traverse and explore – a playground of majestic scale in which to live out our common hero fantasies,” said Thomas Wilson, Co-Studio Head of Beenox. “And the overwhelming message from fans was: ‘MORE!’ That’s what our team is working toward withThe Amazing Spider-Man 2 – we’re giving gamers more abilities, more upgrades, more challenges, and more freedom to progress. And with the game launching alongside the new movie, offering an expanded interactive experience beyond the film, fans of the franchise won’t want to miss playing it.”
