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

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

A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early production phase. This follows the overwhelmingly positive critical and commercial reception of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unanswered questions left by 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 the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, although a release date is likely still years away.

However, a new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher points towards active development. The listing specifies that the successful candidate will lead research for a AAA title, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab on a project already in early production.

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 well underway despite minor delays. Rumors also persist about a Venom-centric spin-off/sequel to Spider-Man 2, potentially launching this year. If these rumors are accurate, this Venom title is unlikely to still be in early development.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored new Ratchet and Clank game slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more plausible option. This remains speculation, but the confirmation of a new Insomniac game in early production is nonetheless exciting news for PlayStation fans.
