Insomniac's New Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that development on Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is underway. This follows the immense success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles and the cliffhangers left in 2023's Spider-Man 2, setting the stage for a highly anticipated sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified after a data breach revealed a list of upcoming Insomniac projects, including the game. Leaks have also hinted at new character introductions, though a release date is likely years away.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab to work on an early-production AAA title, fuels the Spider-Man 3 theory.
Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears to be the most plausible fit for this description. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development. Furthermore, rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off of Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year, suggest it's unlikely to be in early production stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored new Ratchet and Clank game slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 emerges as the frontrunner, though this remains speculative.
Regardless of the specific project, the job posting confirms Insomniac is actively developing a new game, exciting news for PlayStation fans.
