Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Production of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A new job posting at Insomniac Games suggests that development on Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is underway. The success of previous Spider-Man titles and the cliffhangers in Spider-Man 2 strongly indicate a sequel is in the works, a fact confirmed by Insomniac, though details remain scarce.
Speculation surrounding Spider-Man 3 intensified following a data breach revealing a list of Insomniac's upcoming projects. Leaks also hinted at character introductions in Spider-Man 3, although a release date remains years away.
A recently advertised position for a Senior UX Researcher points towards active development. The listing specifies the researcher's role in leading research for a AAA title in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Is Spider-Man 3 the Mystery Project?
Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 aligns most closely with this description. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly progressing smoothly, while rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for this year seem less likely to be in such early development stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank game (rumored for 2029) as the likely candidate. Given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable choice. However, this remains speculation.
Regardless of the specific title, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active development of a new game, exciting news for PlayStation fans.
