[Update] Amazing Spider-Man 2 May Not Release On Xbox One
Update: An Activision representative has responded to our request for comment on the status of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Xbox One. "We are working with Microsoft in an effort to release The Amazing Spider-Man 2 video game on Xbox One," we were told via email. "Currently, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and the PC on April 29, 2014 as previously announced.”
Original Story:
If you are planning on swinging through the streets of New York in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 game, your platform options may be slimmed down. Activision has removed the Xbox One box art from its website.

MCV is reporting that the publisher may not release the game at all. “We want to inform you that we are revising our release plans for ASM2 on Xbox One,” a company statement reads. “When and whether ASM2 is released on Xbox One is TBD.”
We’ve reached out to Activision for comment on this and will update should we receive a response. You can check out our most recent preview for more information. Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be out on April 29 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS, and PC.

Our Take
Until we know the reasons for this, speculation is likely to run rampant. Before I jump to conclusions about the reasoning, I’ll wait to find out if this is a cancelation, delay, or error.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
