Insomniac's 'Spider-Man 3' Project May Be in Production

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

A recent job posting at Insomniac Games suggests the studio is in the early stages of production on a new AAA title. Speculation is rife that this project is Marvel's Spider-Man 3, given the immense success of its predecessors and the numerous unanswered plot points left dangling by Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.

Rumors surrounding Spider-Man 3 have been swirling since its name surfaced in leaked Insomniac game lists following the release of Spider-Man 2. These leaks also hinted at potential character introductions within the Insomniac Marvel universe, though a release date is likely still years away.

The newly advertised Senior UX Researcher position requires a three-month commitment at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab to contribute to a project already in early production. This aligns strongly with the timeline of Spider-Man 3, particularly when considering other Insomniac projects.

Spider-Man 3: The Most Likely Candidate

Marvel's Wolverine, another Insomniac title, is reportedly well into development, suggesting it's less likely to be the project in question. Further fueling speculation for Spider-Man 3 is the persistent rumor of a Venom-centric spin-off, a potential "half-sequel" to Spider-Man 2, which some believe might launch this year. If true, this Venom game would be unlikely to still be in its early development phases.

This leaves two possibilities: Spider-Man 3 or a rumored new Ratchet and Clank installment slated for 2029. Given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears the more probable candidate.

While this remains speculation, the job listing confirms Insomniac is actively developing a new game, exciting news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
