Marvel's Venom Game Reportedly in Development: New Details Emerge
A Surprising Update for Venom Fans
The long-rumored Marvel’s Venom game has received an encouraging update, reigniting speculation about a standalone title centered on the Lethal Protector. Ever since Venom’s explosive debut in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 back in 2023, fans have been waiting for confirmation that Insomniac Games would give the fan-favorite anti-hero his own adventure.
According to a new report from MP1st, Marvel’s Venom is not only real but may already be in the early stages of pre-production. While Insomniac’s immediate focus remains on Marvel’s Wolverine, sources claim that Venom’s solo outing could arrive as early as 2027.
What We Know So Far About Marvel’s Venom
The insider claims the project’s scale may mirror Spider-Man: Miles Morales (2020), which offered a shorter but highly polished experience compared to Insomniac’s mainline Spider-Man entries. If true, Marvel’s Venom would be a mid-sized spin-off rather than a massive open-world epic.
Interestingly, the report also suggests that Eddie Brock will return as the host of the Venom Symbiote instead of Harry Osborn, aligning the game more closely with Venom’s comic book roots. This would also mean a more traditional, monstrous look for the character compared to his appearance in Spider-Man 2.
Another intriguing detail hints that Eddie may even evolve into Anti-Venom during the storyline, but with a more monstrous design than Peter Parker’s Anti-Venom suit at the end of Spider-Man 2. Unlike Peter, however, Eddie would reportedly have greater control over this transformation.
The 2023 Insomniac Leak and Venom’s Role
The biggest evidence of Marvel’s Venom first came from the infamous 2023 Insomniac data breach, which revealed several unannounced projects alongside sensitive staff information. That leak mentioned a Venom standalone title originally slated for 2025, alongside an X-Men game.
Although many details from the breach focused on Marvel’s Wolverine, the Venom listing caught the attention of fans who had just experienced his role in Spider-Man 2. The new report appears to validate those leaks, suggesting that the project wasn’t scrapped but instead delayed and possibly reshaped.
Why a Venom Game Makes Perfect Sense
Venom briefly became a playable character in Spider-Man 2, offering a glimpse of his destructive abilities and raw power. That short sequence alone sparked countless fan requests for a full-length Venom experience.
The ending of Spider-Man 2 also left Venom’s story open-ended, especially after Harry Osborn’s fate. Transitioning Eddie Brock into the role provides an organic way for Insomniac to continue exploring the Symbiote saga.
On top of that, the seeds of another major villain—Cletus Kasady, aka Carnage—were planted in a side quest during Spider-Man 2. Although leaks suggested Carnage could appear in a DLC campaign, that never materialized. Instead, Carnage could be positioned as the main antagonist in Venom’s solo game, making for a brutal and fan-pleasing showdown.
Should Fans Believe the Hype?
Of course, none of these details have been officially confirmed. Development timelines can shift, especially with a studio as busy as Insomniac. The studio is currently juggling multiple projects, including Marvel’s Wolverine, which insiders believe could launch in 2026.
Still, the credibility of MP1st gives this report more weight than typical rumors. The outlet previously reported on Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined before it was officially announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct. That accurate scoop suggests their Venom sources may also be reliable.
Final Thoughts
While fans should remain cautious, the evidence is stacking up that a Marvel’s Venom game is indeed in the works. From leaked documents to new insider reports, everything points toward Insomniac eventually giving Venom the spotlight he deserves.
If the 2027 release window holds true, fans may not have to wait too long before stepping into the shoes of one of Marvel’s most complex anti-heroes. With Eddie Brock back at the center of the story and Carnage potentially lurking in the shadows, this could be one of Insomniac’s darkest and most exciting projects yet.
For now, the best approach is patience. But one thing is clear: after his breakout role in Spider-Man 2, Venom’s solo game feels less like a question of “if” and more like a matter of “when.”
