Activision has put a firm release date to
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows in the UK.
October 24th is when the game will ship across all formats. Previously the publisher had only gone so far as to state that the title would be out in October.
Without a
Spider-Man film release for Activision to hang the game on this year, it has moved closer to Spidey's comic book roots, bringing in oodles of Marvel guest stars such as Wolverine, Luke Cage and the Black Cat and having a plot that's more epic in scale than the movie tie-ins. It hasn't strayed too far from the subject matter of
Spider-Man 3, however, with the Webbed Wonder having an army of symbiote clones spawned from Venom and that nasty black costume to deal with. Hopefully dancing emo, Peter Parker, won't make an appearance, though...
