Citing its own sources, the report by Mp1st also includes a few extra details about the Venom project, including the fact that we will see Eddie Brock taking on the role of the protagonist in the spin-off. Along with having historical ties to the Symbiote plot from the original Spider-Man comics, Brock taking on the role would also tie in quite nicely with the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Along with Brock being the protagonist, the spin-off title will also see Cletus Kasady as Carnage, who is expected to serve as the primary antagonist in Marvel’s Venom. Anti-Venom is also expected to make an appearance in the title. Interestingly, according to the report, Insomniac Games had originally planned to release Marvel’s Venom some time this year.

The report also indicates that Insomniac Games is working on bringing in Spider-Man 2099 – Miguel O’Hara – into one of the games it is currently working on. Whether the character will show up in one of the two projects being worked on – Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s Venom – or if the character is planned for yet another title that hasn’t yet been officially announced is currently unknown.

The last time we heard about Marvel’s Venom was all the way back in December 2023, back when it was first reported that the studio was targeting a 2025 launch for the spin-off. At the time, Insomniac Games was also believed to have started work on Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. Even the reports at the time noted that the spin-off would feature Carnage as the main villain of the story.

As for Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac Games is expected to finally showcase the title later this month, likely during Tokyo Games Show 2025. A recent report indicated that playtesters have been having a good time with early builds of the title and finding it impressive. This report comes courtesy of Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson.

“So, it is done. It obviously was delayed to quite a big extent,” said Henderson. “From what I’ve managed to hear, from people working on the project, obviously, the ransomware attack and all the game leaking is one thing, but then the emotional strain that it places on people when you have all of your information leaked, like your address, social security numbers, and all that kind of stuff, is massive.”

“So that obviously delayed the game as well. But from a few playtesters I’ve been speaking to, they think the game looks fantastic. So that’s good news, and fingers crossed we get to see a release date in a couple of weeks’ time.”

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater set the internet ablaze with hype and anticipation when it was announced, and while some snippets of the gameplay have been revealed already – we are still waiting for sort of a launch trailer or a gameplay deep dive before we reach its imminent release date of August 28.

Valve’s Deadlock

Between gameplay, hero designs, and alleged invites for a test, it’s almost like Valve’s Deadlock is due for a reveal soon. Any new title from the House of Half-Life is worth noting, though this is allegedly more of a 6v6 hero shooter with MOBA elements. As with Dota 2, you farm mobs for currency and buy items to strengthen your hero while fighting the enemy team. It’s intriguing, but with Insider Gaming reporting development being in the alpha stage, it may be a while before launch.

Sonic Frontiers 2

Following the success of Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka reiterated that it would serve as the “cornerstone” for future titles. Fortunately, a sequel seems to be the course for Sega, with insider Daniel Richtman reporting that it is indeed in the works. Potential announcement this year, followed by a launch in late 2025? It could happen.

Fallout 3 Remaster

A remaster for Fallout 3 found in Microsoft’s document to the FTC. There haven’t been too many other reports regarding this, and since the document is from 2020, plans could have changed. A remaster for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion was also specified, with rumors from last year indicating it’s in development at Virtuos, so that may have taken priority. Considering this was Bethesda’s first Fallout title and superior to Fallout 4 in several ways, a remaster with quality-of-life features and improved gunplay would be ideal.

Dishonored 3

Yet another title listed in Microsoft’s leaked document, Dishonored 3 may be less likely than the others. Arkane Lyon is busy with Marvel’s Blade, and Arkane Austin has shut down. The latter was reportedly pitching for a new title in the Dishonored series, but it’s unknown if this may have been Dishonored 3. As long as Arkane Lyon exists, there’s always a possibility, but again, it may be a long way off.

Project Shaolin

In development at Brass Lion Entertainment, the rumored Project Shaolin is based on the Wu-Tang Clan. It’s allegedly an “anime-inspired” third-person action RPG with melee combat, an “extensive loot system” and four-player co-op support. Of course, the group is also composing the soundtrack, but there have been few follow-up reports, let alone an official announcement. Better late than never, though, and the Xbox Games Showcase could be the ideal place for a reveal.

Next Killer Instinct

Yet another rumor gathering dust since October 2021 is the next Killer Instinct, initially reported by Xbox Era’s Nick Baker. Windows Central’s Jez Corden also heard the “vaguest of unsubstantiated rumors” that one of Bandai Namco’s fighting game teams is involved, though he couldn’t verify the same. Iron Galaxy did return to update Killer Instinct (2013), adding 4K support on Xbox Series X/S, ranked crossplay and extensive rebalancing for characters, but there hasn’t been official word on a sequel.

DOOM: The Dark Ages

There’s been a distinct lack of DOOM since 2020, but id Software will seemingly address this very soon. Found in a Microsoft document during its trial with the FTC as DOOM Year Zero, the title is allegedly called DOOM: The Dark Ages and set in a “medieval-inspired Doom world.” An announcement is seemingly inbound at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th, with insider NateTheHate noting a PS5 release alongside Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Gears of War Remastered Collection

One of the longer-running rumors on this list is a remastered compilation of Gears of War 1 to 3. XboxEra co-founder first hinted at its existence in 2022, suggesting it’s getting the “Master Chief Collection” treatment. While no announcement occurred, Baker indicated it was still happening in January 2023, with Jez Corden of Windows Central and The Verge’s Tom Warren seemingly backing him. Naturally, there was no announcement last year. With Gears 6 highly rumored for this year’s showcase, could the remastered collection potentially surface? Here’s hoping.

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Remake

Rumored last year by Kotaku, a remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is allegedly in the works. Plans were in the “earliest stages”, but it seems they’ve advanced further, as Insider Gaming reported it as codename Obsidian, one of the many upcoming Assassin’s Creed titles. It may be a while before its existence is even acknowledged, but if you’re going to remake a title in the franchise, it’s hard to go wrong with Black Flag.

Marvel’s Venom

A game that was revealed through an unfortunate ransomware attack on Insomniac, though in all honesty, it’s not out of left field. Insomniac said it would listen to fans regarding a potential Venom title (the mechanics in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 also lent credence to the same). According to reports by various publications, it will be a shorter experience, akin to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. “When” it will be announced is an entirely different question, but it wouldn’t be surprising if news arrived later this year.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 3

After the conclusion of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, a third title seems likely, and in all honesty, this is a given. After millions of copies sold, why wouldn’t they be developing a sequel? Maybe a Logan cameo is on the cards, especially since they take place in the same universe. Who knows? Time will tell, as always.

Marvel’s X-Men

After some really good X-Men games on the PS2 followed by Wolverine Origins on 7^th gen consoles, there has hardly been any great X-Men game. The series has been severely unrepresented in the MCU over the years (which is admittedly improving). Nevertheless, potentially playing as Cyclops, Wolverine, Jean Gray, Rogue, Nightcrawler and more on a single team sounds fun, especially if it supports co-op. As reported by many publications, it’s rumored to be in development and will likely be a PlayStation exclusive.

Resident Evil 9

The back and forth on Resident Evil 9 rumors has been interesting to witness over the past several days. Initially, insider Dusk Golem reported an internal delay. Then it changed to an imminent reveal and release in January 2025. This changed again to no announcement in the Summer and a delay in late 2025 or 2026. It’s still worth looking forward to, but the reveal may be much further off than initially believed.

Resident Evil Zero Remake

Remember when rumors circulated about five Resident Evil titles currently in the works, which included a Resident Evil 1 remake? That’s allegedly not happening, per Dusk Golem. Instead, Resident Evil Zero is reportedly getting one. There’s some skepticism after the whole Resident Evil 9 flip-flopping. Thankfully VGC’s Andy Robinson and IGN corroborated the claims, so these remakes are looking more than likely.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica Remake

A remake for Resident Evil – Code: Veronica is also allegedly in the works. There’s not much to add, aside from IGN and VGC corroborating its development, but after years of hoping, it’s good to hear some indication that a remake is coming.

As per these plans, as shared by a user on ResetEra, Insomniac is indeed working on Marvel’s Venom, as many had hoped it would. The game, which is seemingly targeting late 2025 launch window, will be a shorter, 8-10-hour standalone experience, according to a leaked internal presentation. Similar to the shorter standalone experience Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the Venom game will seemingly be priced at $50.

As per the leak, the game will allow players to switch between a playable Venom and “Spider-Heroes”, and will feature Carnage as the primary antagonist. The leak claims that the game will feature a dozen main quests, three bosses, and additional optional content. It will supposedly be set after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and lead into the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3.

Speaking of which, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is also in development, as per the leak, and is targeting a release sometime in late 2028. Meanwhile, a slide from the aforementioned leaked internal presentation also reveals a scrapped multiplayer Spider-Man project that Insomniac pitched to Marvel. Called Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Great Web, it is described in the presentation as a Grand Theft Auto Online-style MMO experience with microtransactions. A recent leak seemed to suggest that Insomniac was working on a Spider-Verse game, though it’s unknown if that is the multiplayer project being referred to here.

The leak has also revealed Insomniac’s plans for several other upcoming titles, including X-Men games, a new Ratchet and Clank instalment, and a new IP at some point after 2030.
