Summary
- Insomniac's recent job listing hints that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in early production stages.
- There are persistent rumors about a half-sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character, possibly releasing this year.
- The job listing could also refer to a new Ratchet and Clank game, but Insomniac appears to be prioritizing its Marvel titles.
A recent job listing from Insomniac Games has sparked speculation that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in the early stages of production. The success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, including the critically acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 released in 2023, has set high expectations for a new sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed the development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3, details remain scarce.
Rumors surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 3 have been fueled by leaks from a significant data breach shortly after Spider-Man 2's launch on the PS5. These leaks not only mentioned Spider-Man 3 but also hinted at new characters joining the Insomniac universe. However, with the game still likely years away from release, fans are eagerly awaiting more concrete information.
A newly posted job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac further supports the notion that Spider-Man 3 is in early production. The listing calls for a researcher to lead the research process for a AAA title and work at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab for three months on a project already in its initial stages.
Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production
Among the games mentioned in past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems the most likely candidate to be in early production. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, has been in development for several years and is reportedly progressing well despite some challenges. Additionally, rumors of a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2, featuring Venom as the main character, suggest a possible release this year, as per the 2023 Insomniac data breach. This timeline makes it improbable for the Venom game to be in early development.
This leaves Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank game, rumored for a 2029 release, as potential matches for the job listing. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears to be the more probable option. However, these are all speculations, and it's exciting to know that Insomniac is actively working on a new game in early production, much to the delight of PlayStation enthusiasts.
