Insomniac's New Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early development phase. This follows the massive 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 existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Further leaks suggest the introduction of new characters to the Insomniac universe, though the game is likely still years away from launch.
A newly advertised position for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac, requiring a three-month stint at their Burbank UX Lab, points towards an early-stage AAA title. This role focuses on leading research for a project already in early production.
Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable fit. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development. Rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off, potentially releasing this year, also exist, making it less likely to be in early development 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, the confirmation of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
