A recent job posting at Insomniac indicates that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is currently in the early stages of production. Insomniac’s previous Spider-Man titles have enjoyed both critical acclaim and commercial success, and the 2023 release of Spider-Man 2 introduced several unresolved plot points that a sequel could explore. Insomniac has indeed confirmed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is in the works, although details have been scarce since then.
A wave of rumors and speculation has surrounded Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, especially after it was spotted on a list of upcoming Insomniac games that came to light due to a major data breach a few months after the release of Spider-Man 2 on the PS5. There are also hints from leaks about certain characters making their debut in the Insomniac universe in this game, but it’s crucial to remember that we’re likely years away from seeing it hit the shelves.
It seems that Insomniac could be diving into the development of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, as suggested by a recent job posting for a Senior UX Researcher at the renowned PlayStation studio. The listing indicates that this researcher will take charge of the research process for a AAA title and will need to work at Insomniac Games’ Burbank UX Lab for three months on a project that is already in its early stages.
Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production
From the list of games developed by Insomniac that have been leaked in the past, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 stands out as the most likely candidate. Meanwhile, Marvel’s Wolverine has been in development for several years, and insiders report that things are going well, despite a few bumps along the way. There are also speculations about a half-sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, where Venom would be the main character, potentially set for release this year, according to the 2023 data breach from Insomniac. If these leaks are accurate, it’s probably safe to say that the Venom game is not in its early development stages anymore.
This suggests that either Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank title, rumored to be in development for 2029, could be the game referenced in the recent Insomniac job listing. Since Insomniac appears to be concentrating on expanding its Marvel universe right now, Spider-Man 3 seems like the most likely candidate, though it’s important to remember that this is purely speculative at this stage. Regardless, it’s thrilling to know that Insomniac is working on a new game in its early stages, which is great news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
