A new report has revealed details about the potential Venom PS5 game from Insomniac, including what the story might be and when it could be released. If the information is accurate, fans hoping for the Venom spin-off might have to be patient, as the release could be further off than expected.
A standalone *Venom* game began to surface as a possibility when a playable Venom section was included in 2023’s *Spider-Man 2*. Details were confirmed during the Insomniac cyberattack later that year. Leaked information suggested the *Venom* game would be a smaller-scale title, connecting the stories of *Spider-Man 2* and the planned *Spider-Man 3*, similar to how *Spider-Man: Miles Morales* bridged the gap between the first two *Spider-Man* games. Supporting this idea, Tony Todd, who voiced Venom in *Spider-Man 2*, revealed that most of his recorded lines weren’t actually used in the game.
Insomniac’s Venom Spin-Off Game Might End Up Launching in 2027
Leaked information suggested the *Venom* game was originally planned for release in 2025. However, with the year almost over, it’s highly likely Insomniac has delayed the project, sparking fears among fans that it might be canceled. Fortunately, MP1ST reports that *Venom* is still actively being developed at Insomniac, though its current place in the production schedule is unknown. MP1ST also suggests that Insomniac may be focusing on the *Wolverine* game – currently expected in 2026 – which would likely push the *Venom* game’s release to around 2027.
According to MP1ST, the main character in the upcoming *Venom* game will be Eddie Brock, the original host of the symbiote in the comics. This suggests the game will be more faithful to the comic book source material. It will be interesting to see how Insomniac introduces Eddie Brock into this *Spider-Man* universe, as he hasn’t appeared yet. The report also claims Eddie Brock’s look in the game will be a closer match to the comics – with short blonde hair, a potential beard, a strong jawline, and a muscular build – compared to how Tom Hardy and Topher Grace portrayed him in the movies.
Characters Rumored to Show Up in the Venom PS5 Game
The upcoming *Venom* game will likely feature Carnage, a villain hinted at in a side quest from *Spider-Man 2*, as the main antagonist. There’s also talk that Anti-Venom will appear. Unlike the *Spider-Man 2* version, which was a special suit for Peter Parker, the Anti-Venom in *Venom* is expected to look more like its terrifying comic book counterpart. Throughout the game’s story, Eddie Brock will ultimately gain and fully control this powerful form.
Okay, so I’m hearing some buzz, and like with any rumor, we should take it all with a bit of caution – things can always change during development! But honestly, I’d be *so* excited if Eddie Brock and Venom finally showed up in Insomniac’s Spider-Man games. Their relationship with Peter is amazing in the comics, and I think it could be really cool to see that play out here. Plus, everyone’s been hoping to see Insomniac’s version of Carnage, so a Venom game feels like the perfect way to build towards Spider-Man 3 and finally deliver on that anticipation!
