The Rumor of Insomniac Games Canceling the Venom Standalone Game: Fact or Fiction?
Recently, a rumor has been making the rounds about the cancellation of the leaked Venom standalone game by Insomniac Games. The source of this rumor is none other than Nadji Jeter, the voice actor of Miles Morales in the Spider-Man games, who mentioned it in an interview with the YouTube channel Love it Film.
The Origins of the Rumor
Jeter claimed, “We were going to have a Venom game and a Venom DLC, but we lost Tony Todd. They showed me how it was going to start. It was gonna be a Venom video game. Like, just straight Venom out.” He attributed the alleged cancellation to the untimely death of actor Tony Todd, who voiced Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Debunking the Rumor
Despite Jeter’s claims, several credible sources have refuted the rumor. A game developer on ResetEra mentioned that discussions about the Venom game were ongoing, and Todd’s passing did not lead to its cancellation. Jason Schreier from Bloomberg also dismissed Jeter’s statement, stating that it was untrue.
Previous leaks and reports indicated that the Venom game was still in development, with the focus shifting to Marvel’s Wolverine as Insomniac Games’ priority project. The game is expected to feature Eddie Brock as Venom and introduce Carnage as a formidable adversary.
What Lies Ahead
With Marvel’s Wolverine scheduled for release on September 15, 2026, fans can anticipate the arrival of the Venom game in the coming years. As the rumor mill continues to churn, stay tuned for more updates and speculation about this exciting project.
