Summary
- A new Insomniac job listing hints at early production on Marvel's Spider-Man 3.
- Persistent rumors suggest a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 spin-off starring Venom, potentially releasing this year.
- The job listing could also pertain to a new Ratchet & Clank title, though Insomniac's current focus appears to be on Marvel properties.
A recent job posting at Insomniac Games 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 numerous unresolved plot points ripe for a sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in development, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified following its appearance in a leaked Insomniac game list, surfacing months after Spider-Man 2's PS5 launch. Leaks also suggest new characters will join the Insomniac universe in this installment, though a release date likely remains years away.
A newly posted job listing for a Senior UX Researcher provides further insight. The listing indicates the researcher will lead research for a AAA title, spending three months at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab on a project already in early production.
Spider-Man 3: Early Production a Strong Possibility?
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine reportedly enjoys smooth development, despite setbacks, and has been in production for several years. Rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off, potentially releasing this year, suggest it's unlikely to be in early development.
This leaves Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a planned 2029 Ratchet & Clank title as possibilities. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 seems the more probable choice. However, this remains speculation. Regardless, the news of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting for PlayStation fans.
