Venom takes center stage as the antagonist of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. In the past, we have seen this happen in Sam Raimi’s Spiderman 3 as well. While Venom is not just a supervillain but a beloved anti-hero, fans have always wanted more of his story. This was exercised by Marvel when they released not one but two movies on him.

Following all the appearances Venom has made, many fans have wondered if Venom will be getting his own game. Venom has been playable before, for example in Ultimate Spider-Man on the Game Boy Advance. However, ever since the launch of the recent game, many fans have started speculating a spin-off game where players will play as Venom and see a detailed portrayal of his story.

And that’s not all. Insomniac has also created special moves and attacks with all the animations polished down. This only makes it easier to give the fans what they want in case their voices are heard.
