Insomniac Games' unannounced Marvel's Venom game remains in active development, according to gaming insider NateTheHate2, who cautioned that Sony has not announced a release timeline Comic Book Movie. The project first emerged publicly after a 2023 ransomware attack exposed Insomniac's internal roadmap, though the studio has never officially confirmed the game's existence. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier previously dismissed claims the project was canceled, supporting recent reports the game is still moving forward.
Leaked documents describe Venom as a Spider-Man 2 spin-off with Venom as the playable character and Eddie Brock—voiced by the late Tony Todd—at the story's center Game Rant. All details about the game's plot, characters, and launch window remain unverified speculation, as Insomniac has maintained complete silence on the project.
How Venom Became Public Knowledge
The Venom game was never meant to be public. In 2023, the ransomware group Rhysida breached Insomniac and stole 1.6 terabytes of internal data Insider Gaming. When the studio refused to pay ransom, Rhysida leaked the stolen files online, exposing Sony's full Spider-Man universe game roadmap. Venom appeared on that roadmap as an upcoming project.
The breach forced Insomniac and Sony into an awkward position. They could not deny the game existed without appearing to lie, yet they refused to officially announce it Game Fragger. No official statement from Sony or Insomniac has ever confirmed or detailed the Venom project.
What The Leaked Documents Allegedly Revealed
The stolen files painted a specific picture of Venom's direction. Eddie Brock would serve as the protagonist, with Carnage positioned as the main antagonist Comic Book Movie. Peter Parker and Miles Morales were both listed to appear in the story, suggesting connections to the existing Spider-Man games.
An alleged internal employee post claimed Venom would be a full spin-off rather than a simple DLC addition Game Rant. However, this post was explicitly presented as unverified rumor, and no official details have emerged from Insomniac to confirm these story elements or gameplay features.
Why Sony Remains Silent On The Project
Sony's radio silence appears strategic. Reports suggest the company is currently focused on marketing Marvel's Wolverine, which is expected to launch before any official Venom reveal Insider Gaming. By keeping Venom under wraps, Sony can devote full marketing attention to Wolverine's release.
The original leaked roadmap indicated planned release dates, but those timelines have reportedly shifted Game Rant. Without an official announcement, players remain uncertain whether Venom will launch on PlayStation 5 or wait for PlayStation 6. Sony's silence keeps all options open.
