Insomniac Games is reportedly still at work on the much-anticipated Marvel's Venom, a spin-off expected to make significant waves.
Marvel’s Venom for PS5 Still on Track
Insomniac Games, the studio behind the successful Spider-Man series, is reportedly still developing a standalone Marvel’s Venom game for the PlayStation 5. According to Push Square, this information comes from industry insider NatetheHate2, who has a history of accurate leaks. While concrete details remain elusive, the mere continuity of this project suggests Sony’s commitment to expanding its roster of superhero titles. This follows the trend of leveraging popular Marvel characters, with Venom’s darker tone potentially offering a stark contrast to Insomniac’s previous offerings.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s Distribution Approach
Square Enix is opting for a more streamlined physical release for the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, providing it on a single PS5 disc, though players will need to download additional data online to play. Unlike its precursor, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which required two discs, Revelation will consolidate its content onto one Blu-ray, following a wider industry pattern where physical discs serve primarily as keys to digital content.
Upcoming PS5 Releases
The PS5 lineup for next week (7th-13th September) is bustling with over 20 game releases, according to Push Square. Notable titles include the new “Hot Wheels,” “Mewgenics,” and the anticipated “Valheim.” This steady stream of releases suggests strong publisher confidence in capturing player attention through diverse experiences.
