Insomniac's New Job Listing Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3

A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early development phase. 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 existence, details remain scarce.

Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified after its inclusion in a leaked Insomniac Games roadmap following the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Leaks also suggest potential character introductions, though a release date is likely still years away.

A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac, however, points to active development. The posting specifies that the researcher will lead research for a AAA title, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab on a project already in early production.

Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate

Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable fit. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for this year seem to contradict the "early production" description in the job listing.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the game in question. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely candidate, though confirmation remains elusive.

Regardless of the specific project, the job listing confirms Insomniac's active work on a new game in its early stages—exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
