Rumor: Venom from Insomniac to Arrive Before Wolverine

Insomniac’s Venom Launches First Among Marvel Titles in 2026

Marvel’s Venom, from Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment, is reportedly set to launch in 2026, preceding Marvel’s Wolverine. Insomniac Games is currently working on three major titles, with an employee’s resume indicating a release goal of three to four years. While Marvel’s Wolverine is the only project publicly revealed by Insomniac, stolen documents from the studio have detailed Marvel’s Venom and Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 as the other two ongoing projects; a new Ratchet and Clank title is also a possibility. In related news regarding Insomniac’s team, Brian Horton, who previously worked at PlayStation and has since moved to Xbox to work on Perfect Dark, is not expected to return to the studio.

Marvel’s Venom Shifts to 2026, Potential Delay for Wolverine in 2027 – Insomniac’s Scale Expansion

According to an unofficial source, Marvel’s Venom is a confirmed project, though its release date has shifted from a previously rumored 2025 to 2026. This potential delay for Venom could delay Marvel’s Wolverine until 2027. Sources describe Marvel’s Venom as being of similar scale to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, intended to expand the universe and deliver more cinematic adventures to players. Reports indicate that the development of this Venom spin-off has taken longer than initially expected. Actor Tony Todd, the voice of Venom, recorded lines for the character that were not used in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, which could be for the standalone Venom title. Reports indicate Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is slated for a 2029 release. Speculation suggests it might be a cross-generation title, launching on both PS5 and PS6, though its availability exclusively on PS6 is also being considered. Insomniac Games and PlayStation have not yet made any official announcements or unveiled Marvel’s Venom.
