At the moment not much is known about the history of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but as we know since its official presentation two years ago now, Venom will be one of the great attractions of the Insomniac Games juice. We don’t know what his role will be in the game, but a recent leak could have revealed some details about the origin of this Venom.

Over the years, Venom’s involvement in the Marvel comics universe has led him to be both ally and villain of Spider-Man and other superheroes, and although we will still have to wait to see his role in this Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, it could have been confirmed that the origin of this Eddie Brock would be based on one of the most classic arcs of the spiderman comics.

The origin of Venom in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

As we can read through the Reddit forums, a self-proclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 playtester He claims to have been able to test a couple of early versions of the game and ensures that in one of these sections you can see both Spider-Man (Peter Parker and Miles Morales) chasing a guy in a green ski mask who could be the Sin Eatera classic character from the 80s Spider-Man comics. This character is especially relevant because he is involved in the origin of Venom and his hatred towards Spider-Man.

Eddie Brock loses his job at the Daily Buggle because he interviews a random person who poses as the Sin Eater and fools both the public and the police, albeit soon after it’s Spider-Man who catches the real villain, who turns out to be a police officer. From there comes part of the hatred that Eddie Brock and, later, Venom, have towards Spider-Man. This arc of the Amazing Spider-Man comic series, published between 1985 and 1986, is known as The Death of Jean DeWolff and is part of the black suit spider-man arc. This is Peter Parker’s first encounter with the Symbiote, which shortly after ends up with Eddie Brock, becoming Venom.

Apart from this detail that could be a simple reference to the comics Without necessarily having to be related to the origin of Venom in the video game, the leaker comments on two other sections of the game where various fights and murders between thugs are seen, implying that the general tone of this adventure will be somewhat darker than that of the first installment.

For now There is no specific date for the release of this Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but the Insomniac Games game is expected to arrive on PS5 over the next few months. we will have to wait news from PlayStation in future events, such as the State of Play that took place last night and that left interesting headlines.
