Spider-Man 3 in Development at Insomniac?

Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Production of Marvel's Spider-Man 3

A newly published job posting at Insomniac Games suggests the early development stages of Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This follows the immense critical and commercial success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unresolved plot points left dangling in 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 the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Leaks also suggest the introduction of new characters to the Insomniac universe within this title, although a release date is likely years away.

A job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac provides further clues. The listing indicates the researcher will lead 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 plausible candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development, while rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for release this year seem unlikely to be in such early production stages.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank game (rumored for 2029) as the project mentioned in the job listing. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the stronger contender, though this remains speculative.

Regardless of the specific project, the job listing confirms Insomniac's active involvement in a new game's early development, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
