Developer of the Marvel Universe virtual pinball games, Zen Studios, has revealed today their latest table will star a very popular Spider-Man villain: the symbiotic Venom.
Venom Pinball will be coming to all Zen Studios pinball platforms on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, Mac, IOS, Android, and Amazon the week of December 8. It is not yet known if a Commodore 64 version will be coming, but from the list of platforms above, it's plausible.
The Venom pinball table features Eddie Brock as the Symbiote-empowered villain as he faces not just his mortal enemy, Spider-Man, but also the threat of his twisted offspring, Carnage. As Eddie Brock's journalism career spiraled downward, he always blamed Spider-Man for his own failure. A symbiotic organism from an alien world sensed his rage, and having itself been rejected by Spidey before, shared his hatred of the web-head. Thus, the Symbiote chose Brock as its next host, and together they are – Venom. The Venom pinball table will also allow players to experience Carnage’s origins in a new mini-game, relive Spidey’s own black suit exploits with the Symbiote during a fast-paced multi-ball event, and teach Venom a lesson by exploiting the Symbiote’s weaknesses.
