Insomniac Games May Give Venom His Own Game Spotlight

With the newly released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Insomniac Games introduces Venom to its superhero gaming franchise. The classic Spider-Man nemesis is voiced by Tony Todd and a pretty big dude who’s been featured heavily in the game’s marketing. And given the nature of superhero media, plus the studio’s previous experience with giving Miles Morales a standalone game of his own ahead of this game, you wouldn’t be wrong in thinking that a Venom game could be on the horizon.

Insomniac knows this, but the studio is apparently not ready to go all-in on the carnivorous antihero just quite yet. Talking to Insider, senior narrative director Jon Paquette expressed his hope that the game would provide “one of the best Venom stories you’ve ever experienced.” And should audiences want more of the character, the studio will do so—but right now, it’s just focused on its newest release. “We’re gonna wait to see how the fans react,” he continued. “We’re gonna listen to the fans and we’re gonna ask ourselves: ‘Okay, what do they really want?’ We’ll kind of talk about stuff after we’ve all had time to sleep and take vacations.”
