Spider-Man: Battle for New York is a sequel to the GBA and Nintendo DS versions of Ultimate Spider-Man. It will feature Spider-Man as the main character and The Green Goblin as the main villain. The Green Goblin will also be a playable characer, like Venom in Ultimate Spider-Man. It has not been confirmed whether or not this game is canon to the Ultimate Spider-Man series. A trailer was released, which revealed little to nothing except potential gameplay.[1]

[edit] Plot

The game is set to pick up where Ultimate Spider-Man left off. Its plotline is said to be original and not tied to any comic book.[citation needed]
