Summary
- A new Insomniac job listing hints that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in early production.
- Persistent rumors suggest a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 spin-off starring Venom, potentially releasing this year.
- The job listing could also refer to a new Ratchet & Clank title, though Insomniac's current focus appears to be on its Marvel properties.
A recent Insomniac job posting suggests Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in its early development stages. The studio's previous Spider-Man titles enjoyed immense critical and commercial success, and 2023's Spider-Man 2 concluded with several unresolved plot points ripe for a sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified following its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list, surfacing shortly after Spider-Man 2's PS5 launch. Leaks also suggest new character introductions in Spider-Man 3, though a release likely remains years away.
However, a new job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac hints at activity. The listing indicates the researcher would lead research for a AAA title in early production, working at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab for three months.
Spider-Man 3's Early Production?
Of the leaked Insomniac games, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly in advanced development, progressing smoothly despite minor setbacks. Meanwhile, rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off, potentially launching this year, suggest it's unlikely to be in early production.
This leaves Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a rumored 2029 Ratchet & Clank title as possibilities for the job listing. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable scenario, though remains speculative. Regardless, the news of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting for PlayStation fans.
