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 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 Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following the PS5 launch of Spider-Man 2. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe for this installment, although a release date is likely still years away.
The recently advertised position of Senior UX Researcher specifically mentions leading research on a AAA title in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable candidate for this project. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac title, is reportedly progressing smoothly despite minor setbacks. Rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off/sequel to Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year, also exist; however, this would likely be beyond the early development stage described in the job posting.
This leaves either Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a speculated new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as possibilities. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears the more likely scenario, though this remains speculative. Regardless, the confirmation of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
