Marvel has a strong showing on the App Store this week with three iOS games
Marvel is making a rather strong presence on the App Store this week with not one, not two, but three high-profile iOS games: Marvel Contest of Champions, Spider-Man Unlimited, and Marvel Pinball.
Soft-launched in October, Marvel Contest of Champions is officially out now on the App Store. It’s a free-to-play fighting game that challenges you to assemble your own team of Marvel superheroes and supervillains to defeat a cosmic competitor. It’s developed by Kabam, which recently announced a second game in partnership with Marvel.

Spider-Man Unlimited has been out on iOS since September, but it has just received its first Spider-Verse update. Based on Marvel’s ongoing Spider-Verse comic event, the update brings the following enhancements to the free-to-play narrative web-runner:
- Enter MORLUN and KARN. Rival brothers, vampiric immortals, unimaginably powerful. Survive their “Great Hunt” before they devour every Spider-Man ever!
- 8 new Spiders, including ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, SILK, and for the first time ever: SPIDER-UK!
- Experience the Spider-Verse comics, including story tie-ins, characters, and villains, through new NARRATIVE EVENTS! Featuring new events daily, with progressive storylines!
- Party like it’s 2099! Run through dimensions, and experience the futuristic 2099 NEW YORK environment!
- Snowy NYC environment, for a limited time only!
- Face off against HYDRO-MAN in special Winter Holiday Events and collect Spidey presents!

Finally, there’s Marvel Pinball from Zen Studios, which, as announced a couple of weeks ago, is expected to be updated today with a new pinball table featuring Spider-Man’s symbiotic archenemy, Venom. Venom’s pinball table is going to be available via in-app purchase for $1.99 in Marvel Pinball, which is downloadable from the App Store for $0.99, and in Zen Pinball, which is free to download from the App Store.
