Since the debut of what appeared to be free-roaming gameplay footage from Activision’s upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man movie videogame tie-in at New York Comic Con, fans have been wondering where the release would fit in with the film’s storyline. After all, where would Spider-Man find the time to fight a giant mechanical bug between bouts with the Lizard and sweet smooching times with his girl Gwen Stacy? In anticipation of the release of a closer look at the game on Spike TV’s VGA’s this weekend, Marvel has released a new piece of concept art showcasing Spidey facing yet another mechanized menace (perhaps a Spider-Slayer?). What’s more, Marvel has confirmed that the game will serve as an epilogue to the film “occurring entirely after the events of the movie.” The game also officially marks the return of free-roaming gameplay, as opposed to the more channeled action found in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions andSpider-Man: Edge of Time.
