Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly surfaced job posting at Insomniac Games suggests the early stages of production for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This follows the immense success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles and leaves ample room for a sequel given the unresolved plot points in Spider-Man 2 (2023). While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's development, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Leaks also point towards new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, though a release date likely remains years away.
A job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac sheds light on the situation. The listing specifies the researcher's role in leading research for a AAA title in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off, potentially releasing this year, suggest it's unlikely to be in early production stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the game in question. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely scenario. However, this remains speculation.
Regardless of the specific title, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
