Spider-Man 3 in Early Development at Insomniac?

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

A newly surfaced 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 hanging in 2023's Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, 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 potential character introductions within the Insomniac universe, although a release date is likely years away.

The job listing, for a Senior UX Researcher, specifies involvement in a AAA title's research process, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab. This suggests a project already underway in early production.

Considering past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most likely candidate. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for 2024 suggest it's unlikely to be in the early stages. This leaves Spider-Man 3 or a potential Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the most probable choices. Given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 is the more plausible option.

Regardless of the specific title, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active development of a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
