The Beenox-developed third-person action adventure game, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, will arrive April 29 in the U.S., May 2 in the U.K. and April 30 in Australia on most game consoles and PC, Activision announced.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will include upgrades, abilities, challenges and a new "Hero or Menace" system.
The action game will be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and Windows PC. Those who pre-order through GAME in the U.K., Gamestop in U.S. and EB Games in Australia will receive a code for the the Web Threads Suit Pack. The costume bundle consists of the red and gold Iron Spider Suit, the blue and white Cosmic Spider-Man Suit, Venom-like Black Suit and the pulp-style Spider-Man Noir Suit.
