A recent Insomniac Games job posting suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 might be in its early development phase. This follows the hugely successful release of Spider-Man 2 in 2023, leaving numerous plot points ripe for a sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after a data breach revealed a list of upcoming Insomniac titles, including Spider-Man 3. Leaks also hint at new character introductions, though the game is likely still years away from launch.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher points towards active development. The role involves leading research for a AAA title, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab on a project already in early production.
Is it Spider-Man 3?
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development. Rumors of a Venom-centric spin-off to Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year, make it less likely to be in early production stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored Ratchet and Clank game slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable choice. However, this remains speculation.
Regardless of the specific title, the job listing confirms Insomniac is actively developing a new game, exciting news for PlayStation fans.
