The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is an open worldaction-adventure video game based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, and is a sequel to 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man. It was developed by Beenox and published by Activision, who previously developed Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, Spider-Man: Edge of Time, and its recent successor, The Amazing Spider-Man. It is loosely based on the 2014 film of the same name.
It was released on April 29 in North America and May 2 in Europe for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Xbox 360. The Xbox One version was originally reported as delayed, but was released alongside the other platforms digitally while the release of physical copies was delayed by two weeks. A Gameloft version was also released on April 17 for iOS and Android devices.
This was the last Spider-Man video game published by Activision before the licence expired. As of January 3, 2017, the game, along with its predecessor, has been removed from digital storefronts, but will still be available to customers who have previously purchased the game.
After Dennis Carradine, the man who murdered Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, is murdered by a serial killer known as the "Carnage Killer," Peter Parker also known as the vigilante Spider-Man decides to track down Carradine's killer, and bring him to Ravencroft, a prison for the criminally insane. Oscorp CEO Harry Osborn and billionaire Wilson Fisk announce that their companies are working together to fund the Enhanced Crime Task Force, a privatized police force meant to contain criminals and Spider-Man, following an attack on Oscorp Tower by Herman Shultz (one of Carradine's contractor whom Spider-Man encountered before Herman became Shocker). When Fisk offers to take Oscorp off of Harry's hands, Harry rebuffs him. Fisk then decides to wait until Harry dies from the disease that killed Harry's father, Norman Osborn.
