Spider-Man: Edge of Time is an upcoming video game by the Activision-owned developer Beenox. The game is written by Peter David,[1][2][3] and will feature a new "cause-and-effect" gameplay system where one of Spider-Man's actions will effect the other or vice versa. It is set to arrive in October 2011.[4] Information on the game was released at WonderCon on April 2, 2011.[5] This is the second Spider-Man title to be developed by Beenox, following Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions of 2010, and the first released since Activision's decision to make Beenox the lead developer on all future Spider-Man games. Activision confirmed with this week's Comic Con that the game will be releasing October 4, 2011.[6]

In the year 2099, Alchemax scientist Walker Sloan seeks to gain power and fortune by traveling back in time to the present day in order to use his knowledge of future technology to found Alchemax much ahead of time.[7] This causes the future of 2099 to change to a dystopia where Alchemax rules the world with an iron fist. Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099 is aware of the plan and finds out that Sloan's actions are not only responsible for the changes in the timeline but will also cause the death of Peter Parker / Spider-Man at the hands of Anti-Venom. Spiderman 2099 must work to save the future and Peter Parker's life.[8]
