Activision’s next planned Spider-Man game, entitled The Amazing Spider-Man, is going to incorporate an open world. The game was announced this weekend at New York Comic Con by Activision’s Doug Hede.

Fed up with having to spend hours of grinding to build up your RPG character before you dare go online? It seems your prayers have been answered. EA and developer BioWare have formed a partnership to bring you Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes. Mythic Studio’s general manager Eugene Evans described the game as being somewhat similar to the MMO, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, except this release is a pick-up-and-play title.

“You can go and have a similar experience in Warhammer Online [Age of Reckoning]. But it means that you have to go and start with a base character, level that character up, and then get into the scenario. With Wrath of Heroes, you get to choose a hero type, and they come pre-loaded with a set of abilities, and you don’t have to level it up. It’s immediate. You’re in, and you’re playing.”

Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes features ‘arena’ combat between three teams of six players. Evans says the team plans to keep the game in closed beta for “a while longer”, before moving to an open beta. In terms of playing costs, Evans said the game will probably charge for downloadable characters based on “particularly iconic Warhammer character class or type of hero.”
