Summary
A new job listing at Insomniac suggests thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 3is already in the early production stages. All of Insomniac’s previousSpider-Mangames have been critically and commercially successful, and 2023’sSpider-Man 2left plenty of loose plot threads for a new sequel to pick up. Sure enough, Insomniac has confirmed thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 3is in development, but not much has been revealed since.
There have been plenty of rumors and speculation aboutMarvel’s Spider-Man 3, especially after it was named in a list of upcoming Insomniac games that was unearthed in a massive data breach a few months afterSpider-Man 2launched on the PS5. Other leaks hint at certain characters making theirInsomniac universe debuts inMarvel’s Spider-Man 3, but it is worth pointing out that the game is likely years from release at this point.
However, Insomniac might already behard at work onMarvel’s Spider-Man 3, at least according to a newly posted job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at the storied PlayStation developer. According to the listing, this senior researcher would be responsible for “leading the research process for a AAA title,” and will be required to work at Insomniac Games’ Burbank UX Lab over a 3-month period to help with a project that is already in early production.
Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production
Of the Insomniac-developed games listed in past leaks,Marvel’s Spider-Man 3seems to be the one that fits this description best. After all,Marvel’s Wolverinehas reportedly already been in developmentfor several years now, with insiders saying that production is going smoothly despite a few setbacks. Meanwhile, there have been rumors of a half-sequel toMarvel’s Spider-Man 2with Venom as the main playable character, which could be released sometime this year according to the Insomniac data breach of 2023. Assuming these leaks are true, it is unlikely that theVenomgame would be in early development at this point.
This leaves eitherMarvel’s Spider-Man 3or anewRatchet and Clankgamethat is supposedly being planned for 2029 as the game mentioned in the new Insomniac job listing. Given that Insomniac seems to be focusing on its growing Marvel universe for the time being,Spider-Man 3seems to be the best bet, although it should be noted that this is all speculation at this point. In any case, it looks like Insomniac does have a new game in early production, which in itself is exciting news for PlayStation fans.
