Marvel's Spider-Man 3: Insomniac Hints at Early Development

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 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 the PS5 launch of Spider-Man 2. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, though a release date is likely years away.

The job listing, for a Senior UX Researcher, specifically mentions leading research for a AAA title in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.

Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly progressing smoothly, despite minor setbacks, and a rumored Venom spin-off (a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2) is speculated for release this year, making it unlikely to be in early development.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the project. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more probable choice, though this remains conjecture.

Regardless of the specific title, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active involvement in a new game's early production, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
