An insider has shared an exciting update regarding Insomniac Games' long-rumored Marvel's Spider-Man 2 spin-off, Marvel's Venom, claiming that an official reveal may arrive at either the rumored September State of Play event or at Geoff Keighley's Game Awards in December. Marvel fans are currently awaiting more news on Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine, which hasn't seen the light of day since its reveal in 2021, but it looks like the studio could be about to reveal a whole other game beforehand.
Insomniac Games has never confirmed whether or not it is working on a Marvel's Venom game, but a massive leak in December 2023 seemingly revealed that the studio wasn't just developing Marvel's Spider-Man 3, but also a Venom spin-off, a new Ratchet & Clank game, and an X-Men game. These titles were revealed during a ransomware attack on the company, which saw a group of hackers steal almost 2TB worth of assets, documents, and more. However, the leak may have drastically affected the studio's original plans, as a new Marvel's Venom game for PS5 was supposed to launch this year, which is seeming less and less likely as the months go by.

PostsThe Marvel's Spider-Man studio has often remained coy on the possibility of a Venom spin-off, but that hasn't stopped fans from begging for almost two years now. While many believed the leaked Venom game had been canceled following the massive data breach, it looks like there may still be hope. According to industry insider Detective Seeds, who has proven reliable in the past, Insomniac Games could be gearing up to reveal Marvel's Venom either during a State of Play event in September (which hasn't actually been confirmed by Sony) or during Geoff Keighley's Game Awards in December.
A Marvel's Venom Reveal Could Be On the Way
CloseFans are skeptical about the possibility of Insomniac revealing a Marvel's Venom spin-off anytime soon, and for good reason. While it may have appeared in the massive ransomware breach in 2023, so did a new DLC for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Fans were left waiting for a full year before Insomniac Games revealed it had "no additional story content planned" for the sequel. Although the DLC was never announced by Insomniac in an official capacity, it proves that the leaked roadmap was either inaccurate or, more likely, drastically altered following the breach.
With that being said, the late, great Tony Todd, who voices the iconic Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, did previously tease a potential Marvel's Venom game just a few months before he sadly passed away. The legendary actor had already gone on record and revealed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 only used 10% of his recorded lines, but later took to Twitter and claimed that he had completed "two major projects." The first of those two is quite obviously Marvel's Spider-Man 2, and fans were quick to assume that the second could be the potential Venom spin-off.
