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 the PS5 release of Spider-Man 2. Further leaks hinted at new character introductions within the Insomniac universe, though a release date likely remains years away.

The job posting for a Senior UX Researcher specifically mentions leading research for a AAA title in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.

Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate

Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most plausible fit. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly well into development, while rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for 2024 circulate. If these rumors are accurate, this Venom title is unlikely to be in such early development stages.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank game (rumored for 2029) as the project in question. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the stronger contender. However, this remains speculation.

Regardless of the specific title, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
