Speaking as a game developer: I haven't seen them advertising the DLC at all which makes me think it's either not done or not being made right now. It's important to let them take their time and announce it when they're ready. I don't remember there being any announcement for DLC regarding Carnage. I thought that was teasing the setup for the Venom game.

Edit: great, now I wrote an essay. I’m really sick of this trend where big companies take months, almost a year to give dlc, that they keep hyping. When you release the idea too early, people get tired of being excited. I’m talking about the same thing he was talking about when he spoke on the homelander dlc for Mortal Kombat 1. They’d announced it, then waited months to put it in. I’d get 2-3, maybe even 4, but it was way longer than that and by the time it came out, nobody was actually freaking out and cheering for it. The hack has nothing to really do with what I’m talking about, and honestly, I’d say good on them because while it really sucks, they can combat the hackers. They honestly annoy me and I’m getting sick of them, because they show unfinished stuff that hasn’t even been properly announced, and they always say, “nobody should buy this, it doesn’t even look finished, it looks horrible”. Tell them, “screw you, now it’ll never be finished. Good job asshole, now nobody gets to enjoy this”. Glad they didn’t do it with GTA VI. But honestly, I’m debating whether other big companies should start doing that to combat the hacks, because those guys suck.
