Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly surfaced job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early development phase. 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 existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following the Spider-Man 2 PS5 release. Leaks also suggest the introduction of new characters to the Insomniac universe within Spider-Man 3, though a release date remains years away.
The job listing, for a Senior UX Researcher, specifies involvement in a AAA title's research process, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab for a project already in early production.
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is the most likely 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 2024 seem to contradict the "early production" description.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as possibilities. However, given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable option. While this remains speculation, the news of a new Insomniac game in early production is undoubtedly exciting for PlayStation enthusiasts.
