Marvel’s Wolverine Set for 2026, Venom Game Still in the Works
Hey everyone, I’ve got some exciting updates from the world of Marvel games, especially if you’ve been eagerly waiting for Wolverine or are curious about that Venom spin-off. So, here’s what’s happening.
Almost two years ago, Insomniac Games faced one of the biggest security breaches in gaming history. During that incident, a huge amount of information about multiple projects was leaked, including early builds of the previously announced Wolverine game and the studio’s full release roadmap. That roadmap featured several big titles, like a new Ratchet & Clank game and a Spider-Man spin-off starring Venom. Immediately after the leak, Insomniac reassured fans that development on Wolverine would continue as planned. However, this was followed by a long period of silence, which naturally left a lot of fans wondering about the current state of these projects.

Since then, we’ve learned that at least one project from the leaked roadmap has been officially canceled: the three planned DLCs for Spider-Man 2. These DLCs were set to feature Carnage and Beetle, and a third was meant to tie into Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse . But with the game’s PC port release, Insomniac confirmed that no additional content would be coming, effectively ending those plans.
Now, for the good news. According to sources familiar with the situation, the Wolverine game is still on track for its 2026 release. So fans don’t need to worry—it hasn’t been shelved or delayed indefinitely. As for Venom, development is ongoing, though it’s likely still in pre-production, especially if Wolverine remains the studio’s priority.
We’ve also heard some intriguing details about the Venom game. Eddie Brock is expected to be the protagonist, staying true to the comics rather than the live-action films. The story will reportedly feature Cletus Kasady as Carnage, along with a more monstrous version of Anti-Venom that Eddie Brock can fully control. These choices could make for some interesting gameplay and story dynamics, especially considering how the symbiote and anti-symbiote abilities interact.
There’s even a hint that Spider-Man 2099, also known as Miguel O’Hara, might make an appearance in one of Insomniac’s upcoming projects. It’s unclear whether he’ll appear in Venom or a future Spider-Man title, but this could connect to the broader multiverse storyline hinted at in previous games.
As for release dates, things are still tentative. Wolverine is confirmed for early fiscal year 2026, so we can expect it sometime after April. Venom, on the other hand, is likely farther off—potentially around 2027—depending on how the project scales.
So, while fans will need some patience, both Wolverine and Venom are actively being worked on, and the wait should be worth it. With these two massive Marvel characters coming to life in their own games, 2026 and beyond are shaping up to be very exciting years for superhero fans.
