Overview
- Leaker NateTheHate2 said on September 4 that Insomniac’s standalone Venom project is “very much still in development” but offered no timeline for an announcement.
- The project first surfaced in a December 2023 Rhysida ransomware breach that exposed an internal roadmap listing a Venom entry and alleged details about scope and budget.
- Earlier cancellation claims tied to Tony Todd’s 2024 death and comments from actor Nadji Jeter were publicly disputed by Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, creating conflicting public accounts.
- Sony and Insomniac have not officially confirmed the game, and multiple outlets say the studio’s marketing focus on Wolverine helps explain the continued silence and delayed reveal.
- Reports and leaks suggest the title was once scheduled before Wolverine and that timelines may now push it into 2027, so the key things to watch are an official statement from Sony and any new release window or platform details.
