Marvel's Wolverine and Venom Spin-off Updates Emerge from Leaks
Exciting news for Marvel fans! While an official release date for Insomniac Games' highly anticipated Marvel's Wolverine, first announced in 2021, remains elusive, recent reports suggest the game is still slated for a late 2026 launch. This information, stemming from leaked documents and corroborated by an anonymous source speaking to MP1st, indicates that Insomniac is holding firm to their intended timeline.
Adding to the buzz, there's also an update on a potential Venom spin-off game. Details about this project first surfaced during a major leak from the studio's internal documents. According to the same insider, work on the Venom game is actively continuing at Insomniac. While exact details are scarce, it's believed the spin-off is currently in its pre-production phase, with the studio's primary focus remaining on the development of Marvel's Wolverine.
Unconfirmed Plot Details for the Venom Game
Another source has provided a host of unconfirmed plot specifics for the Venom project. As MP1st could not independently verify these details, it’s important to approach them with a degree of skepticism. Here’s a brief summary of what's been speculated:
- Protagonist: The game would feature Eddie Brock as the main character. His appearance is reportedly being designed to align more closely with his comic book portrayal, rather than the cinematic version played by Tom Hardy.
- Main Villain: Cletus Kasady, the host of the Carnage symbiote, is expected to appear. Previous leaks have also pointed to him being the primary antagonist.
- Anti-Venom's Role: Anti-Venom is also rumored to make an appearance, but interestingly, not under Peter Parker's control. Instead, Eddie Brock himself would become a more monstrous, comic-accurate version of Anti-Venom, maintaining full control in this form.
Originally, the Venom game was reportedly scheduled for late 2025, but according to the latest leaks, its release has been pushed back to 2027.
Spider-Man 2099's Potential Appearance
In other intriguing news, MP1st also reports that Insomniac Games is allegedly trying to find a place for Miguel O’Hara, better known as Spider-Man 2099, in one of their upcoming projects. It's currently unclear whether he would feature in the Venom spin-off or Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This effort might be tied to the 2027 premiere of the animated film Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, suggesting a potential synergy across Marvel's media.
What This Means for Players
While Insomniac's projects are still largely shrouded in mystery, these unofficial updates offer a glimpse into the studio's ambitious plans. The continued development of Marvel's Wolverine and the Venom spin-off, alongside the potential inclusion of Spider-Man 2099, means that Marvel fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming years. Players can anticipate a more concrete reveal for Marvel's Wolverine soon, as insider Tom Henderson has hinted that it might be part of a State of Play event towards the end of September. As always, while leaks provide exciting early details, official announcements from Insomniac Games will offer the final word on these highly anticipated titles.
