God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Similar Fates in Spin-Off Limbo

by

In the realm of exclusive games for PlayStation, the series God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man have been two standout franchises, proving valuable to Sony. These two widely popular PlayStation titles showcase a wide range of action-adventure gameplay, as these series differ significantly in their game mechanics. Yet, both maintain the tradition of compelling storytelling that is synonymous with PlayStation’s focus on robust single-player narratives.

Another interesting point that links these two franchises is they both appear to be on the verge of releasing major spin-offs, although concrete details are still scarce. Whispers and speculations suggest that God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man could soon have notable offshoots, but official announcements about these games remain elusive. The potential for an Atreus-centric God of War game and a Spider-Man spin-off focusing on Venom have been buzzing in the rumor mill, but neither developer has acknowledged these claims yet.

Rumored God of War and Marvel’s Spider-Man Spin-Offs Seem to Be in Limbo

God of War Could Be Passing the Torch

In the conclusion of God of War Ragnarok, Kratos and his son Atreus bid a bittersweet and emotional farewell, suggesting that Atreus is embarking on a solo journey. Santa Monica Studio has not yet confirmed whether talk of an Atreus spin-off is accurate or not, leaving some to speculate based on the absence of a denial. However, it’s crucial to keep in mind that all leaked information remains unverified until officially announced.

Venom is One of Many Notorious Insomniac Leaks

2023’s closing period brought turbulent times for developer Insomniac, as they suffered a massive ransomware attack leading to the exposure of vast amounts of information. This data leak encompassed everything from details about the upcoming “Marvel’s Wolverine” game to a tentative release schedule, casting a contentious shadow over the end of the year. One of these leaks hinted at a Venom game tentatively named “Venom: Lethal Protector”. Much like Santa Monica Studio, Insomniac has maintained a tight silence regarding these reports. What’s more intriguing is that the leaked information suggested a possible 2025 release date. With the new year well underway and no official announcements or unveilings from Insomniac, the future of the Venom game appears uncertain at this point.

The title of the movie, “Venom: Lethal Protector,” derives from a six-issue Marvel Comics limited series published in 1993 with the same name.

The Wait For Rumors to Be Addressed Continues

At this point, it seems both Santa Monica Studio and Insomniac prefer to remain tight-lipped about the rumors and leaks until they are ready to reveal anything, if that day even arrives. The fate of Marvel’s Spider-Man remains uncertain, so we eagerly await any potential development on a Venom-centric project.

Regarding the “God of War” series, it looks like there could be some exciting news coming up soon as we approach its 20th anniversary. If rumors about an Atreus spin-off are true, then this milestone would be an ideal time to unveil such a project.

  • God of War’s 20th anniversary is March 22.
  • Ragnarök recently launched on PS Plus, possibly to ignite excitement leading up to the anniversary.

Theories have speculated that an Atreus-led game would follow his journey to find surviving Giants.

Santa Monica Studio and Insomniac Are Sitting on a Powder Keg

2025 already looks busy with Santa Monica Studio and Insomniac confirming their anticipated spin-offs this year – a significant move for both studios and Sony fans alike. As speculation about these exclusive titles grows, it will be thrilling to learn if either studio decides to unveil any future projects as the year unfolds.
