Insomniac's Recent Job Posting Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3

A newly surfaced job listing at Insomniac Games suggests the early stages of production for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This follows the immense critical and commercial success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unresolved plot points left dangling in 2023's Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's development, details remain scarce.

Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac game list following Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, though a release date is likely years away.

The job listing, seeking a Senior UX Researcher, specifies involvement in a AAA title's research process, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab. This suggests a project already underway in its early production phase.

Considering other leaked Insomniac projects, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, reportedly in development for years, is supposedly progressing smoothly. Rumors also persist about a Venom-centric spin-off of Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year, making it less probable that this is the project in early production.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the project mentioned in the job listing. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely contender. However, this remains speculation. Regardless, the news of a new Insomniac game in early development is exciting for PlayStation enthusiasts.
