Success of Shattered Dimensions puts Beenox in the driver's seat.
Quebec City is officially Peter Parker's new home. Activision announced today that Canadian developer Beenox has been given the reins on the Spider-Man video game franchise following the positive critical and commercial response to Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
Released in September for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and DS, Shattered Dimensions earned a respectable 75 composite score on Metacritic and sold more than 700,000 copies worldwide. That was enough for publisher Activision to hand the keys to the Spider-Man franchise to Beenox for the foreseeable future.

"Beenox has done a tremendous job showcasing the essence of Spider-Man while pushing new creative boundaries with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions," added Todd Jefferson, director of games at Marvel Entertainment's Global Digital Media Group. "We look forward to working with Beenox on creating new Spider-Man game experiences."
Exactly what Beenox has planned for Spidey remains a mystery, but studio head Dee Brown said his team plans to fully map out Spider-Man's interactive future.
