Marvel\'s Spider-Man 3 Could be \'in Early Production\' at Insomniac

Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3

A newly surfaced Insomniac Games job posting suggests the early stages of production for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This follows the overwhelmingly positive critical and commercial reception of 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 development, details remain scarce.

Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions to the Insomniac universe within this installment, though a release date likely remains years away.

A job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac sheds further light. The listing specifies the researcher's role in leading research for a AAA title currently in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac Games' Burbank UX Lab.

Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate

Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off (potentially releasing this year) suggest it's unlikely to be in the early stages described in the job listing.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a purported new Ratchet and Clank title slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely contender. However, this remains speculation.

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