Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly surfaced job posting at Insomniac Games suggests the early stages of production for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This follows the critical and commercial success of 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 development, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after 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 likely years away.
A job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac points towards an already-in-production AAA title. The researcher's responsibilities include leading research for this project, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly well into development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for this year seem to contradict the "early production" stage mentioned in the job listing. This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as possibilities. Given Insomniac's current Marvel-centric focus, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely scenario.
Regardless of the specific title, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active development of a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts. While much remains unconfirmed, the evidence strongly suggests that the next chapter in the Spider-Man saga is already underway.
