Insomniac's New Job Listing Hints at Early Production of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that development on Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is underway. The success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles and the cliffhangers in Spider-Man 2 strongly indicate a sequel is in the works. 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. Leaks hinted at character introductions, though a release date is likely years away.
A newly advertised position for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab provides a significant clue. The listing specifies a three-month commitment to a AAA title already in early production.
Is Spider-Man 3 the Mystery Project?
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly far along in development, and rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off (a potential 2024 release) suggest it's unlikely to be in the early stages described in the job posting.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029). Given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable choice. However, this remains speculation.
Regardless of the specific project, the job listing confirms Insomniac is actively developing a new AAA title, exciting news for PlayStation gamers.
