Without diving into the gritty details, Venom fans can rest assured that Venom is indeed playable in Spider-Man 2.

Is Venom Playable in Spider-Man 2?

  • Yes, Venom is playable in Marvel's Spider-Man 2

Those playing Spider-Man 2 can expect something similar in terms of Venom's playability. He's not a full-blown playable character on the scale of Peter Parker and Miles Morales, but he is indeed playable in the game. Those wanting more details will need to play through the Spider-Man 2 game for themselves.

Venom may have been the first villain revealed for Spider-Man 2, but he's far from the only one that players will encounter during their time with the game. Besides Venom, players also have to go toe-to-toe with other recognizable faces from Spider-Man's rogues gallery. The one that gets top billing is Kraven the Hunter, whose actions set the entire plot of the Spider-Man 2 video game in motion.

Spider-Man 2 is all about Kraven the Hunter traveling to New York City to hunt the super-powered beings that call the Big Apple home. The chaos that ensues sees both Peter Parker and Miles Morales face off against the likes of The Sandman, The Lizard, and more. Even so, much of the focus remains on Kraven the Hunter and Venom, which makes sense as they are the two headlining baddies in the new game.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is available for PS5.
