Unofficial Spider-Man: Edge of Time PC port returns to GitHub after briefly disappearing

An unofficial native PC version of Spider-Man: Edge of Time surfaced only days ago, giving the 2011 console game something it had never officially received. Its original GitHub repository briefly became unavailable, but has since returned.

The Spider-Man: Edge of Time PC Edition from developer GenryTheFox was released as an unofficial Windows edition using ReXGlue-based recompilation, with an installer, launcher, PC controls, localisation, local achievements, graphics fixes and high-frame-rate options. Contemporary reporting from September 12 documented the project and its GitHub release. The project's GitHub repository briefly became inaccessible, but is publicly accessible again at the time of writing.

It remains unclear why the repository was temporarily inaccessible.

In a comment on PlayGround.ru, an account identifying itself as the port's author said there was no confirmation that the disruption was connected to Marvel, Activision or a DMCA complaint. The developer said GitHub had flagged the account after its security system was triggered and that the matter was being handled with support. The project files remained intact and development was continuing.

The PC Edition remains an unofficial community project rather than an official commercial Windows release.

Released in 2011, Spider-Man: Edge of Time was developed by Beenox for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii and Nintendo 3DS, with the Nintendo DS version developed separately by Other Ocean. Activision's E3 2011 slate lists those platforms but no Windows version.

Activision's original announcement describes a story split between Peter Parker's Amazing Spider-Man and Miguel O'Hara's Spider-Man 2099, with events in one timeline affecting the other.

That made the appearance of an unofficial native Windows version notable after 15 years without an official PC release. The project is once again publicly available on GitHub and shows recent development activity.
