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

A recent Insomniac Games job posting suggests Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its initial development phase. The studio's previous Spider-Man titles achieved significant critical and commercial success, and Spider-Man 2's ending leaves ample room for a compelling sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.

Speculation surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 intensified following its appearance in a leaked Insomniac game list, surfacing shortly after Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Leaks also allude to new characters joining the Insomniac universe in this installment, although a release date likely remains years away.

A newly advertised position for a Senior UX Researcher provides further clues. The listing states 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 plausible fit. Marvel's Wolverine, reportedly in development for years, is supposedly progressing smoothly despite challenges. Rumors also circulate about a Venom-centric spin-off/sequel to Spider-Man 2, potentially releasing this year. If accurate, this Venom title is unlikely to be in the early stages of development described in the job listing.

This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored new Ratchet and Clank game slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 is the more probable candidate—though this remains speculation. Regardless, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active development of a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
