    As promised, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions dev Beenox will be handling the next entry in the Spidey franchise. Moreover, the as-yet-unnamed title will make an appearance at this year's WonderCon, according to the event's website. A listing for the Activision/Spider-Man panel, to be held Saturday, April 2, details a presentation that will involve both "post-launch reactions" to Shattered Dimensions and "exclusive details, screenshots and videos of the next Spider-Man game." For all you hardcore Peter Parker fans in the crowd, Spider-Man 2099 co-creator Peter David and voiceover artist Josh Keaton will both join Beenox devs on the panel, along with Marvel veep of game production TQ Jefferson. Given the relative awkwardness of Keaton's placement on the panel, we're guessing he'll once again be voicing Spidey in the forthcoming game. Though details are guaranteed to show up at the panel, we'd also keep an eye on gaming magazines to unceremoniously announce it by name with a cursory text mention on the cover. Hey, you never know!

    This week we're all about the GDC 2011 love here at Massively. Not only is our team working hard to bring you all the hottest news from the show, but we're also trying to hand off some of the convention fun in the form of digital swag! During our visit yesterday to see the Outspark team and catch up with all the company has been doing in its free-to-play games, we were offered a treat for Massively readers: a special code for a free Solstice Reborn Lucky Ball. When used, the Solstice Reborn Lucky Ball will give players a random item that will help them level quickly in the game. Potions? Something more powerful? Well, you won't know until you redeem yours! However that's not all this Lucky Ball can do. U.S. players who redeem Lucky Balls in Solstice Reborn are automatically entered into a drawing to win a trip for two to Wondercon in San Francisco. Twenty other second-place winners will nab a Solstice Reborn t-shirt of their very own. Curious about how to get your Solstice Reborn Lucky Ball? Join us behind the break for all the details!
