With the massive success of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games, it’s no surprise that the developer would want a shot at continuing their hot streak by exploring other Marvel characters. In this guide, we’ll be sharing everything we know about Venom: Lethal Protector, a game centred around one of Spider-Man’s most popular foes.
Though widely regarded as an outright villain by most, Venom has been known to become a bit of an antihero at times. In fact, a six-issue comic series also titled Venom: Lethal Protector has Venom teaming up with Spider-Man to take down some of the symbiote’s offspring.
Before jumping into the details on Venom: Lethal Protector, feel free to take a look at the info we have on Insomniac’s other upcoming games like Marvel’s Wolverine and Marvel’s X-Men.
Venom: Lethal Protector release date
We don’t have an exact date for the release of Venom: Lethal Protector just yet, but it is currently scheduled to come out in the second quarter of 2025. Venom: Lethal Protector is slated to be the first Insomniac game after Spider-Man 2.
After Venom: Lethal Protector, Insomniac will be releasing Spider-Man 3 and Marvel’s Wolverine. Wolverine will be the lead-up to an X-Men game that will come out further down the road.
We’ll update this page as soon as we have more concrete information on the release date for Venom: Lethal Protector.
Venom: Lethal Protector platforms
Since it is being developed by Insomniac, we can expect Venom: Lethal Protector to be another PlayStation 5 exclusive. Previous Spider-Man games have eventually made their way to PC, but there’s a good chance that you’ll be waiting a very long time before Venom: Lethal Protector is ported over.
With the Insomniac leaks revealing an exclusivity deal for X-Men games, it’s safe to assume that the developer has entered a similar agreement regarding Spider-Man and characters affiliated with the webhead.
And that’s all we currently know about Insomniac’s Venom: Lethal Protector. While waiting for the spinoff to come out, feel free to keep yourself busy by using our Spider-Man 2 walkthrough hub while giving the superhero game another playthrough.
