A recent Insomniac Games job posting suggests Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may be in its early development phase. This follows the critical and commercial success of previous Spider-Man titles, and the numerous unresolved plot points left dangling 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 Spider-Man 2's PS5 release. Leaks also suggest new characters will join the Insomniac universe in this installment, though a release date is likely still years away.
A new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac points towards active development. The listing specifies the researcher's role in leading research for a AAA title currently in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab.
Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate
Considering previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears the most probable candidate. Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac project, is reportedly in advanced development, and rumors of a Venom-centric Spider-Man 2 spin-off slated for this year seem to contradict early production stages.
This leaves either Spider-Man 3 or a potential new Ratchet and Clank title (rumored for 2029) as the game in question. Given Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel franchise, Spider-Man 3 is the more likely contender. Regardless of the specific title, the job posting confirms Insomniac's active work on a new game in early production – exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
