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 might 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 2023's Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.
Rumors and speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 have been rife, particularly since its inclusion in leaked Insomniac game lists following the Spider-Man 2 PS5 release. These leaks also hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac Marvel universe, although a release date is still likely years away.
A job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac, requiring a three-month commitment at their Burbank UX Lab, points towards an already underway AAA title in early production. This aligns strongly with Spider-Man 3, considering other Insomniac projects. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly well into development, while a rumored Venom spin-off (a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2) is speculated for a 2024 release, making it less likely to be in the early stages described in the job listing.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the project in question. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable candidate. However, this remains speculation. Regardless, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
