Fans of Insomniac Games will have Marvel’s Wolverine, which offers a new standalone story for the fan-favorite hero, and that’s only the beginning. An X-Men game and Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 are also allegedly in the works, but one has to wonder: Whatever happened to the rumored Venom game, where players would control the anti-hero from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?
It was never confirmed, but considering everything else from the developer’s infamous ransomware leak (aside from the post-launch single-player DLC and live service title The Great Web), you would figure it would have been announced by now. In an interview with Love It Film on YouTube, Miles Morales’ voice actor Nadji Jeter revealed that it was in the works but ultimately didn’t happen due to the passing of Tony Todd (who voiced Venom).
However, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier claimed on ResetEra that it wasn’t true. Which part exactly – whether it’s the project’s cancellation or the reason – was not explicitly stated. But regardless, until Insomniac says otherwise, speculation about the project will continue.
In the meantime, the studio will be revealing more about Marvel’s Wolverine this Spring, after which pre-orders will presumably open. It’s coming to PS5 on September 15th, and unfortunately, much like Saros and Ghost of Yōtei, you probably shouldn’t hold your breath for a PC release.
