Insomniac Games Confirms Venom Isn't Peter Parker Or Eddie Brock In Spider-Man 2
Insomniac Games has confirmed that Venom won't be Peter Parker or Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 2, teasing that his identity will be a big part of the game's storyline.
We only just got the first big gameplay reveal for Spider-Man 2 a few weeks ago, but it seems that Insomniac Games wasn't done cooking, as it made a surprise appearance during Summer Game Fest. Insomniac Games creative director Bryan Intihar took the stage to give us the game's release date, October 20, and several new pieces of art, as well as a big new detail about the game's storyline.

After debuting a new piece of art featuring Miles and Peter fighting Venom, Intihar confirmed that the big bad isn't going to be Eddie Brock and that his identity will play a big role in the game's storyline. The piece of key art also debunked the popular fan theory that Peter Parker was going to be Venom in this universe, as we can clearly see him fighting the symbiote next to Miles.
Although Intihar is being very coy about Venom's identity in the Insomniac universe, it seems incredibly likely that he's Harry Osborn. We already know from the first game's post-credits scene that Harry needs the symbiote to live, so it's clear that he has a tie to the character somehow, but now that Insomniac has debunked the theory that it's Peter Parker and Eddie Brock, it seems very likely that it's Harry Osborn.
