An Insomniac game titled 'Venom: Lethal Protector' was leaked last December.

Last December, Insomniac Games suffered a major leak, which revealed the developer's plans to release several games over the next decade. Included in the list of games is a Venom-led game called Venom: Deadly Defenderwhich was expected to arise after the incident Marvel's Spider-Man 2 And possibly provide players with a similar experience Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

One of the most disturbing revelations about DLC cancellations for Insomniac Marvel's Spider-Man 2 A similar decision can be made about other leaked titles, including the Venom game. What ultimately makes decisions like this easier for the developer is that titles like this haven't been announced or officially confirmed, so Insomniac can get away with scrapping things that are only in the early stages of development. However, if the Venom Project was a real and full-sized game, Insomniac would think twice before tossing it into the shredder.


The main thing that keeps a potentially leaked Venom game afloat is that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 and Marvel's Wolverine Both were also leaked, and the possibility of Sleep canceling those titles is basically non-existent. It is possible that the developer saw Marvel's Spider-Man 2DLC is essential to its future plans for the franchise, so canceling them isn't the same as canceling its two biggest upcoming games. Still, the outlier here is the predictable Carnage DLC, as the leaked DLC isn't set up in the Beetle and Spider-Verse featuring it. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 As far as killing goes, that means the villain must either appear in a Venom game or Marvel's Spider-Man 3 to bring properly Spider-Man 2To close the “The Flame” subplot.

In light of that, it could be that Insomniac's leaked Venom title is still very much on the way. It may come in a different form than expected so far.
