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 2023's Spider-Man 2. 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 the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Leaks also suggest the introduction of new characters to the Insomniac universe within Spider-Man 3, though a release date remains years away.
A job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac highlights a need for someone to lead research on a AAA title currently in early production, requiring a three-month stint at the 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, another Insomniac project, is reportedly progressing smoothly, despite minor setbacks. Rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off, a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2, suggest a potential 2024 release, making it unlikely to be in early development stages as described in the job listing.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored Ratchet and Clank title slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely contender. However, this remains speculation. Regardless, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early development is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
