Back during last week's New York Comic Con,
Comic Book Resources attended a panelp with Gerard Lehiany, Creative Director of Beenox, and Doug Heder, a producer at Activision. Revealing a few details for the video game tie-in for Marc Webb's
The Amazing Spider-Man, as well the status on
The Avengers video game, read below!
Heder revealed that, while he couldn't name any specific villains, "[The 'Amazing Spider-Man' game is] not retelling the movie story, we are actually expanding it. [The game] takes place after the events of the movie."
In response to the current status of an "The Avengers" movie video game, referring to the game that was recently scrapped in mid-production, the panel host & marketing director for Marvel games, Javon Fraizer replied, "Yes, Marvel did get the rights back for 'The Avengers,' and fans should look forward to a game being released near the opening of the film.
So, despite about seven months remaining 'til
The Avengers hit the big screen worldwide, it seems we can surely expect a video game tie-in. Hopefully the quality won't feel as rushed as its development time; which I suppose depends on the yet-to-be-announced developer Marvel partners with. And judging from a
poll, Activision is a fan-favorite. What do you think?
