Spoiler: Spoiler

The symbiotes in question are Phage, Lasher, Agony, & Riot. What’s noteworthy about this is, counting Scream being a boss in the game, this leak implies all of the Life Foundation Symbiotes would’ve appeared and had some role in the game. In the final game, it’s evident the various Symbiote creatures we fight are loosely based on the Life Foundation ones, so potentially these are just their early designs…?

The Leaker also notes that these were found via the PC build of the game, and that arguably most noteworthy, Venom was supposed to appear as early as Act 2, with a story revolving around separation anxiety. Attempts to load this in result in supposedly shows the various Life Foundation Symbiotes in their canisters, implying the Life Foundation as a whole had a big role in the game, as well as the various other synbiotes

I guess they canned a lot of this to focus more development time on ensuring your in game phone rings ALL the fucking time, along with more slow walking around a school.

Wasn't there a video wirh the devs and director saying that it was touch and go to make 2023 and if they cut a load of shit they could glue stuff back together to make it work. Once they accepted that they had a route to release they could make the 2023 launch date.

Goes to show that they probably cut a lot.

Game development is tough.

Can you imagine a year where Sony didn't have one first party release? Never in the history of playstation has that happened.

It was the director of the game, and yes they cut a lot.

It wasnt just hitting 2023. Sony execs were upset at the quality of the game or lack thereof. They wanted the devs to polish up what was already done so the director ended up cutting out a lot of the shit that they had planned and focused on delivering a quality game.

This will likely all be in the venom game/standalone DLC thats set to release in 2025.

Saved for DLC and venom game most likely
