A recent Insomniac Games job posting suggests Marvel's Spider-Man 3 could be in its early production phase. This follows the immense critical and commercial success of previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unanswered questions left by 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. Leaks also suggest new character introductions, though the game is likely still years from release.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher, however, points to active development. The listing calls for a researcher to lead research on a AAA title, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab for 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 candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, has reportedly been in development for years and is progressing smoothly. Rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off, potentially releasing this year, also suggest it's unlikely to be in early production.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a rumored Ratchet and Clank title slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties, Spider-Man 3 is the stronger contender, though this remains speculation. Nevertheless, the existence of a new Insomniac game in early production is exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
