After getting Mayday Parker’s Spider-Girl on Spider-Man Unlimited just before the event ended I thought I’d be able to cool off the endless running for a day or so. It’s not easy getting 3,000 combos in two hours but I did it and I got my Spider-Man. However my well earned rest from jumping, running and web-slinging was immediately cut short the moment I saw Spider-Man Unlimited’s next event ‘Morlun Unleashed’.

Originally I thought Gameloft were tying Spider-Man Unlimited fairly loosely into the Spider-Verse comic book event. They were releasing some of the more popular Spider-Men and Spider-Women that we’d met from the comic books and that looked like it’d be it. However, with ‘Morlun Unleashed’ several fairly awesome things have happened to make the endless runner more of a Spider-Verse tie-in than I could have imagined.

The first and fairly obvious one is that Morlun has been added as a special villain, much like Jack O’Lantern was during Halloween. However instead of the totemic hunter feasting on Spideys, you have to chase him down and punch blue Shield balls at him! The Morlun design is really cool and I like his purple flame style projectiles. Although I’m not sure if Morlun can actually float?

That’s not it for the good news though as the prize for defeating Morlun and racking up a high score on the leaderboard is a Spider-Verse character that’s making her video game debut. That’s right the already announced and increasingly popular Spider-Gwen is the prize for finishing in the top five and she even becomes our second Legendary Spider-Man, following Superior Spider-Man!

It’s interesting that Gwen Stacy’s Spider-Woman is considered popular and important enough to be considered a legendary rarity in Spider-Man Unlimited considering she’s only existed within a comic book for just over a month and thus far hasn’t really done anything. However there’s certainly no denying that she’s the most popular new character Marvel have had in a long time!

To make things even better for people like me who have no chance of placing in the top five of the leaderboard and winning Spider-Gwen this time round, there’s even a new Spider-Man as a prize on the accumalative target as well! If you rack up 90 boss KOs you can win a 6* Spider-Armor!

What are you waiting for! Get running!
