Insomniac Venom PS5 Spin-Off: Mixed Signals Spark Fresh Doubts About the Rumoured Game
Uncertainty is growing around a rumoured Venom spin-off from Insomniac Games, after two high-profile accounts offered conflicting takes on whether the project is still alive. The studio has never officially announced a standalone Venom game, leaving fans to parse leaks and comments for clues.
The speculation traces back to documents that surfaced after Insomniac was hit by a ransomware attack, which appeared to outline multiple future Marvel projects. Among them was a Venom title that observers expected to land around 2025, but that window passed without a reveal from Sony or Insomniac.
What sparked the latest confusion?
In a recent podcast appearance, actor Nadji Jeter, who voices Miles Morales in Insomniac’s Spider-Man series, said a Venom project had been in development at one point. Jeter suggested the game was later canceled, a claim that quickly circulated through fan communities.
However, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier publicly disputed that account, indicating the cancellation claim was not accurate. With no official statement, it remains unclear whether the project changed scope, shifted timing, or was never planned as a full standalone release.
Why Venom still matters for PlayStation?
Insomniac’s 2023 release Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 made Venom central to its story, with the symbiote’s role tied to both Peter Parker and Harry Osborn. That narrative focus helped fuel expectations that Sony could greenlight a tighter spin-off, similar in scale to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Fans have also pointed to unresolved threads in Spider-Man 2 that could support a darker follow-up, including characters associated with symbiote storylines. For now, Insomniac’s next confirmed major release is Marvel’s Wolverine, and any Venom news may depend on what comes after that launch.
Until Sony or Insomniac addresses the rumours directly, the Venom game’s status will likely remain a debate shaped by partial information. The next round of PlayStation showcases and publisher updates may be the most realistic window for clarity.
