Leaked details suggest Venom PS5 game will star Eddie Brock

Leaked material circulating online details an unannounced Venom game in development at Insomniac Games for PlayStation 5. The documents identify Eddie Brock as the primary playable protagonist and list Peter Parker and Miles Morales as additional playable characters.

The leaked files describe a character-switching system that allows players to move between Eddie, Peter and Miles during gameplay, using a mechanic similar to the multi-character systems in other open-world titles. The game environment is reported to expand the studio’s New York map to include Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island.

Combat details in the material point to a darker, more physical style for Eddie’s Venom form. New grabs and finishing moves are mentioned, while some enemy types are described as infected by a contagion with Carnage-like behavior that can attempt to latch on to or infect the player during fights. The files note that timed parries may be required to avoid becoming compromised.

The documents portray the relationship between Eddie and the symbiote as cooperative, with control shared at times rather than one side fully dominating. The files indicate this presentation follows long-running comic-book versions of Venom.

The project first appeared in documents from a 2023 data breach at Insomniac. Industry listings continue to show a Venom title among the studio’s in-development projects after the release of Marvel’s Wolverine. No release date or launch window appears in the leaked material.

Insomniac Games has not confirmed any details and provided no public comment on the information in the leaks.
