Insomniac Hints at Marvel's Spider-Man 3 in Early Production
Exciting news for fans of the web-slinging superhero: a recent job listing from Insomniac Games suggests that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 might already be in the early stages of production. Given the critical and commercial success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous plot threads left dangling from 2023's Spider-Man 2, anticipation for a new sequel is high. Although Insomniac has confirmed the development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3, details remain scarce, keeping fans eager for more information.
The gaming community has been buzzing with rumors and speculation about Marvel's Spider-Man 3, particularly after the game was mentioned in a list of upcoming Insomniac projects following a significant data breach shortly after Spider-Man 2 launched on the PS5. Leaks have hinted at new characters making their debut in the Insomniac universe, adding to the excitement. However, with the game likely years away from release, these rumors only serve to fuel the anticipation.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games has further fueled speculation. The listing mentions the role involves "leading the research process for a AAA title" and requires a 3-month commitment at the Burbank UX Lab for a project already in early production. Given the timing and the nature of the role, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems a likely candidate for this early-stage project.
Other Potential Projects
While Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears to be the most fitting project mentioned in the job listing, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac title, has been in development for several years, but it's reportedly moving along smoothly despite minor setbacks. Additionally, there have been persistent rumors about a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character, potentially set for release this year according to the 2023 Insomniac data breach. If these rumors are accurate, it's unlikely that this Venom-focused game would still be in early development.
Another contender for the early production project could be a new Ratchet and Clank game, rumored to be planned for 2029. However, given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 seems the more probable choice. While all of this remains speculative, the prospect of a new game in early production from Insomniac is thrilling news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
