Insomniac Games has not announced nor confirmed a Venom game. The person a lot of PlayStation watchers listen to says the project is still on a drive somewhere. NateTheHate2 posted on September 4 that the Venom game is "very much still in development upon last check." He does not know when it gets a trailer.
The Venom game first showed up in the 2023 Insomniac breach as a spin-off on an internal roadmap. Marvel’s Wolverine is the one from that breach that actually has a box date and is coming out soon: September 15, 2026. Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is the other name that keeps getting listed next to Venom in rumor posts. They did not date Venom. Other accounts earlier this summer floated 2027, including a September 2027 guess. All of that is still rumors and we cannot be sure until something is officially confirmed.
Cancellation talk for the Venom game started after Tony Todd died in 2024. Todd voiced Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and said at Fan Expo that Insomniac used about 10 percent of what he recorded. Nadji Jeter, who voices Miles Morales, later suggested the standalone game was dead. Jason Schreier of Bloomberg answered that claim on ResetEra with a short denial: it was not true. Nate’s September note lines up with Schreier’s earlier pushback.
In Insomniac’s story, the symbiote is not Eddie Brock’s first. Harry Osborn gets it as a supposed cure and becomes Venom in Spider-Man 2. Some later rumor write-ups said a solo game would shift toward a more comic-looking Eddie. The studio has not said the host, the length, or whether this is a Miles Morales-sized spin-off or a full-price third-person game.
Right now Insomniac's main concern is Wolverine. Marketing is pointed at Logan for the next week and a half if not more. A Venom announcement in that window would be a surprise. After Wolverine, the calendar rumor mill looks to line up for Spider-Man 3 and a Ratchet project announcement. However due to how long the Venom game has been sitting in that unnanounced pile is why people keep asking the same question of wether its alive or in the works.
Once again all of this is rumors, and should be taken with a grain of salt. So before you get your hopes up, remember that. Spider-Man 3 is far more likely than a Venom game in the near future anyways.
Are you holding out for a Venom game in 2027, or do you need Insomniac to confirm it out loud first? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
