In 2021, the world is in for a major change. The Venom symbiote has finally been defeated and is no longer a threat to humanity. However, this doesn’t mean that the world is without danger. Venom has left behind a trail of destruction and mayhem in his wake, and it’s up to our brave heroes to stop him before he destroys everything again.
