As Sony descent up an impressive roster of villain for Insomniac’sSpider - Man , developers substantiate that rooter - pet villain Venom will sadly be sitting this party out . It look likeOtto Octavius is mold his own video game Sinister Six , but there apparently is n’t room to fit a personality as big as Venom ’s in anywhere else .

Sony ’s E3 footage showed off thepotential candidates to occupy Doc Ock ’s Sinister Sixwith names like Electro , Rhino , Scorpion , Vulture , and Mr. Negative . Previous confirmation ofShocker , Norman Osborn , and Kingpin tantalization that there are other baddie roaming the streets of New York City , so it is a shame that Venom wo n’t be one of them .

There are so many varlet that Insomniac could ’ve picked for the most ambitious Spidey game to escort , but Art Director Jacinda Chew reveals they decided not to let in Venom . When one fan necessitate how big Venom will be in the plot , Chew respond on Twitter with the following :

Chew could be throwing participant off the scent , but it is easy to see why Insomniac would save Venom for a another day . Spider - Manis here to establish a whole new world of the wall - fawn hero , and birth someone like Venom outshine the lead character reference could be see as overkill . It is important to note that Chew is n’t say never to Venom , just that it wo n’t be now .

One devotee hint that Venom could look in DLC , and while there would be no right way to cash in in on the hype of   Ruben Fleischer ’s movie , Venom ’s firing on October 5is a little too tightlipped toSpider - Man ’s September launching .   Thankfully , Insomniac’sSpider - Manand picture game Venom are n’t constrain by the house - well-disposed   moral of the MCU and the fiber is much more likely to appear in PS4 form than an upcomingSpider - Manmovie . In fact , waiting until the fibre has reestablished himself in theaters after Topher Grace ’s controversialSpider - valet de chambre 3performance   is a clever way to shift more biz in a sequel .

Considering Rocksteady’sArkhamgames saved major scoundrel like Hugo Strange , Penguin , and   Ra ’s al Ghul   for the continuation , players might see Eddie Brock ’s symbiote alter ego bulge up further down the line of credit . Also , just because   Venom wo n’t come crawling into the game , that is n’t to say Brock himself wo n’t . Fans already know thatMary Jane Watson will serve as an fact-finding journalistand playable lineament inSpider - Man . This sounds like the arrant way to spoil paths with Eddie as a rival newsman and set up a potential Venom storyline .

IfSpider - Manis even half as successful as the hoopla currently environ it suggest , gamers should expect at least another chance to leap across the New York sensible horizon . Developers have already cited theArkhamgames as a major influence and presumably have architectural plan for the time to come of the dealership .   As Insomniac craft its own dark public of violent villains and litters the city with amusing book Easter eggs , fan should look forrader for at least the sniff of a symbiote whenSpider - Manhits the PlayStation 4 on September 7 .
