June 13 (UPI) -- Spider-Man swings into action in a new gameplay trailer for the superhero's upcoming self-titled Playstation 4 exclusive.

The clip, released Monday during Sony's annual E3 press conference features the iconic wall-crawler taking down a number of enemies inside a construction zone both stealthily and head-on by using a variety of flashy and acrobatic moves that utilize his web-shooters.

After a powerful foe makes his escape on a helicopter, Spider-Man begins to chase down the aircraft as it drags along a piece of a crane that begins to tear through the skyscrapers of New York.

The trailer then shows how Spider-Man gets the job done during a heart-pounding quick-time event that will task players to hit the right button at the right time in order to save the day.

Developed by Playstation veterans and Ratchet & Clank creators Insomniac Games, Spider-Man is set to launch in 2018. In addition to Peter Parker, the title will also feature Marvel villain The Kingpin and fellow Spider-Man Miles Morales who appears in the footage.
