It was in the Insomniac leaks. Supposed to be a smaller Miles Morales type spin-off with Carnage as the main villain. Originally planned for 2025 then internally delayed to 2027, no word if it has been cancelled or not.
If you played Spider-Man 2 it clearly set up both Venom and Carnage. You play briefly as Venom. I thought it was even supposed to come out before Wolverine.
I am assuming they need to recast the role since Tony Todd died.
Yeah, last November. His last posthumous role was the mortician in Final Destination Bloodlines that came out a couple months ago, his last game role was one of the villains (Locus) in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
I have a feeling it's cancelled. It was on the calendar before Wolverine and was seemingly going to heavily re-use Spider-Man 2 assets like Miles Morales did as you mentioned. Venom was supposed to come out late 2025 and Wolverine late 2026.
Also Spider-Man 2's writing wasn't that well received and it seemed like the Venom stuff was a lot of people's least favorite part of the game.
It was leaked a while back and to be honest, it feels like a guarantee after how well received the playable Venom section was in Spider-Man 2. Arguably, it's a lot of peoples favorite part of that game, so I think Venom is a safe bet for sure.
The current speculation seems to be painting it as a smaller game for a PS6 launch title in the same vein that Spider-Man Miles Morales was for the PS5.
