Spider-Man: Edge of Time is an upcoming video game by the Activision-owned developer Beenox. The story is written by Peter David,[2][3][4] and gameplay will feature a new "cause-and-effect" system where one Spider-Man's actions will affect the other and vice versa. It is set to release in October 4, 2011 in North America and October 14, 2011 in Europe.[5] [6] Information on the game was released at WonderCon on April 2, 2011.[7] This is the second Spider-Man title to be developed by Beenox, following Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions of 2010, and the first released since Activision's decision to make Beenox the lead developer on all future Spider-Man games.

Miguel O'Hara / Spider-Man 2099 is aware of the plan and finds out that Sloan's actions are not only responsible for the changes in the timeline but will also cause the death of Peter Parker / Spider-Man at the hands of Anti-Venom.
