Gwen Stacy as Spider-Woman is a relatively new thing, after only appearing in Edge of Spider-Verse #1 like a month ago her stock as already risen so far that she’s getting her own solo-comic book and she’s now going to appear in a Spider-Man video game!

Once Spider-Man Unlimited get the Jack O’Lantern filled Halloween events out of the way, including the invisible fire obstacles that appear to be bugging everyone, the game looks set to continue it’s Spider-Verse tie-in additions after already adding both Spider-Man 2099 and Classic Superior Spider-Man.

Now it seems, like every other superhero based property there is at the moment, Spider-Man Unlimited is starting to lean towards the ladies! The game’s first big update (you can get the full summary of changes and additions here) promised several female characters would be added to the game and the launch trailer rather excitingly showed us Mayday Parker’s Spider-Girl!

But Spider-Girl isn’t the female Spider-character of the moment! That honor goes towards the recently debuted Spider-Gwen and her announcement as a future playable character in Spider-Man Unlimited is sure to turn a few heads. It’s certainly gotten everyone at Marvel very excited as everyone from the game’s Facebook page, to Marvel Entertainment’s Twitter and Dan Slott were talking about it.

I can’t say I blame them. This is huge news and I’m pretty excited to say the least!
