Spider-Verse Arrives In Spider-Man Unlimited
By Nick Tylwalk
So far, we’ve seen a few hints of Spider-Verse leaking into Spider-Man Unlimited. Morlun showed up for an event, and we’ve seen several playable characters who also have prominent roles in the Marvel Comics crossover that pits nearly every spider-powered character in any reality against the threat of the Inheritors.
The connection between comics and Gameloft’s endless runner is about to get a lot more concrete this week, as Spider-Man Unlimited is getting its second major update, and it’s all about Spider-Verse. A new storyline combines with new progressive, narrative-themed events to form “The Great Hunt.” Just like in the current comics storyline, “The Great Hunt” will see the Inheritors embark on a quest to destroy every Spider-Man (and Woman) in every dimension throughout the multiverse. Players will find that the stakes have been raised, as the survival of all spiders is now hanging in the balance.
Naturally, that means plenty of new goodies, including the following:
- More spider-powered characters – look for eight additional playable characters, such as Ultimate Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-UK and Silk
- A new environment – this one is more exotic than ever, as it’s Earth 2099, the home turf of Miguel O’Hara
- The return of Morlun – he’s back, and he’s bringing his fellow Inheritors with him
“The Great Hunt” will be live this week, but why wait to see what’s in store? Check out the trailer we’ve got right here for more Spider-Verse flavor.
