Insomniac's New 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 might be in its early development phase. This follows the overwhelmingly positive critical and commercial reception of previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous plot threads left open 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 Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Leaks also suggest new character introductions, though a release date is likely years away.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher, however, points towards active development. The listing specifies involvement in a AAA title's research, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab 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 candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for this year seem unlikely to be in early production stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title rumored for 2029. Given Insomniac's current Marvel-focused efforts, Spider-Man 3 is the more plausible assumption, though still speculative.
Regardless of the specific project, the job posting confirms Insomniac is actively developing a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
