The Spider-Man movies are seeing a reboot next year with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man, and of course there’s a videogame to go along with the movie as well. As per usual, the game will be published by Activision, who revealed today that development is being handled by Beenox (Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time).

Unlike previous Spider-Man movie tie-ins, The Amazing Spider-Man takes place after the movie, and acts as an epilogue to the events of the movie itself. Activision say the game will involve a “Web Rush” concept that will allow for new moves, and will allow the player to swing freely all over the city of Manhattan.

The Amazing Spider-Man is slated for release in summer 2012 on the Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS. Activision say that a debut trailer will be presented at the upcoming Spike Video Game Awards.
