The Amazing Spider-Man swings to action in June 2012

Superhero adventure The Amazing Spider-Man has snagged a late June 2012 release date in its web.

Activision revealed the summer launch date for the movie tie-in at the end of a new trailer for Beenox's latest Spidey game, which shows a battle between the wall-crawler and the hulking villain known as the Rhino.

Coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS, the game continues the story of the new blockbuster film and will introduce a new gameplay mechanic called Web Rush.

Using this new feature, players can instantly call up a range of acrobatic moves and attacks depending on their situation, allowing them to feel more like the web-headed superhero than ever.

The game also reintroduces the concept of free-roaming web-slinging, allowing Spidey to explore a vast virtual recreation of New York City as he seeks to stop criminals in their tracks.

Beenox is well-versed in the art of Spider-Man games, having developed the recent Spider-Man: Edge of Time and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
