Insomniac's New Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A recent Insomniac Games job posting suggests Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early production phase. This follows the overwhelmingly positive critical and commercial reception of previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unresolved plot points left dangling by 2023's Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, 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. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, though a release date remains years away.
A newly advertised position for a Senior UX Researcher points towards active development. The listing specifies the researcher's role in leading research for a AAA title, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab on an already-in-production project.
Is it Spider-Man 3?
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, also in development, is reportedly progressing smoothly despite challenges. Rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off, a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2, suggest a potential 2024 release, making it improbable that this title is in early production.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored Ratchet and Clank installment slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel franchise, Spider-Man 3 is the more plausible option, though confirmation is still pending. Regardless, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early development is exciting news for PlayStation gamers.
