Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly published job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 might be in its early development phase. This follows the immense critical and commercial success of Insomniac's 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 existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following Spider-Man 2's PS5 launch. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe for this installment, although a release date is likely years away.
The job listing, seeking a Senior UX Researcher, specifies involvement in a AAA title already in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Considering the Timeline
Among previously leaked Insomniac projects, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, reportedly in development for years, is supposedly progressing smoothly. Rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off/sequel to Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year, also circulate; however, this makes it less likely to be in the early development stages described in the job posting.
This leaves either Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a rumored new Ratchet and Clank title slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel franchise, Spider-Man 3 is the more probable option. However, this remains speculation.
Regardless of the specific project, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active development of a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
