Overview
- Leaker NateTheHate2 said on September 4 that the unannounced Venom title is “very much still in development,” a claim repeated by multiple gaming outlets over the weekend.
- Insomniac Games and Sony have not confirmed the project or given a release date and the game appears to have been postponed from the 2025 slot shown in internal roadmaps.
- Public awareness of the project began with a December 2023 Rhysida ransomware leak of roughly 1.3 million studio files that listed a Venom title and supplied a working name, budget estimate and scope details that remain unverified.
- Cancellation rumors that followed actor Tony Todd’s death and a remark by Nadji Jeter were publicly disputed by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier and have since been undercut by independent leakers.
- If the project is real as reported, industry coverage says Sony is likely keeping the announcement quiet during Wolverine’s launch and the next moves to watch are any official comment from Insomniac or new scheduling leaks that clarify scope and timing.
