News: And Spider-Man 3 will release alongside the movie in 2007.
Activision and Marvel have announced that they have extended their game development contract for the Spider-Man films through 2017. The new deal gives Activision rights to the games based on any movie sequels or television shows produced about Spider-Man in that time. This deal comes on the heels of similar deals for the X-Men and DreamWorks Animation.
Activision also reconfirmed that Spider-Man 3 is in development and will ship alongside the movie in May 2007. No platforms have been set, but I'll eat my webbing if the game doesn't at least come to the Xbox 360 and PS3.
Tim Rothwell, Worldwide President, Consumer Media Group, Marvel Entertainment, added, "Activision has done a tremendous job in translating Spider-Man into compelling, top-selling interactive games. Given their performance and long-term commitment to the franchise, as well as their creative excellence Activision is the ideal partner for movie-based Spider-Man games, a business that complements our recent extension of their interactive license for 'classic' Spider-Man."
