Venom Game Not Canceled: Insomniac Project Still in Development, Insiders Confirm

Multiple insiders and developers deny cancellation rumors, confirming the Venom remains in development despite recent confusion online.

It was quickly taken down by a group of reliable sources that claimed an independent Venom game from Insomniac Games had been canceled. This makes it clear that the project is still under construction. Nadji Jeter, who plays Miles Morales in the studio's Spider-Man games, said something in an interview that made a lot of people talk about it.

In the interview, Jeter said there were plans for a Venom game and downloadable content, but they would not happen. He said that Tony Todd's death, who played Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2, might be tied to the project's ending. Many people thought the project was over after Jeter's words following Todd's death in November 2024.

But those claims were quickly shot down. In an interview, a real game creator said the Venom project was still being discussed at the Game Developers Conference in 2026. This says that the project has not been canceled recently. To make things even worse, a reporter directly denied the rumor, saying that the stories were not true.

After the Insomniac hacker leak in 2023, the public saw the Venom game for the first time. This was because many projects were still underway at the time. Early signs say that Venom might be the next big game from the company. But it looks like Marvel's Wolverine has become more important, pushing Venom further down the path.

Reports from later on have continued to back the game's existence. Says that the project is still being worked on and that Eddie Brock will play the host of the alien symbiote. There are also rumors that Carnage, Venom's famous and dangerous enemy, will return, pointing to a darker, more intense direction for the story.

Insiders say reports of a cancellation are false and that work on the Venom project is still ongoing.

This shows how quickly false information can spread, even from people closely connected to a project. For example, actors like Jeter work on many projects, but they might not always be aware of the latest changes to a company's plans or strategies. People might be confused about the state of the Venom project.

Because earlier versions may have been changed or reworked in big ways. After Tony Todd's death, people might have thought the game was canceled due to changes in the story, the cast, or the creative direction. There were some questions, but it looks like the bigger picture is becoming clearer.

Many trustworthy people, like developers and well-known writers, say the Venom game is still going. In fact, its continued discussion at events like GDC 2026 indicates that work on it is still underway behind the scenes. As for the future, some people think that the Venom game might be planned as a big release.

Maybe even around the time that Sony's next-generation system comes out. There has been no public word, but reports of ongoing work make it clear that Insomniac has not given up on the project. Fans can rest easy for now; the Venom game is still very much alive, despite what you may have heard. It may be growing into something even bigger than originally planned.
