Insomniac Begins 'Spider-Man 3' 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 points to this being Marvel's Spider-Man 3, given the success of previous Spider-Man titles and numerous unresolved plot points from Spider-Man 2. While Insomniac has confirmed Spider-Man 3's existence, details remain scarce.

Previous leaks, including a data breach shortly after Spider-Man 2's release, mentioned Spider-Man 3 among upcoming Insomniac projects. Other leaks suggest new character introductions, although a release date is likely years away.

The job listing for a Senior UX Researcher specifies involvement in a project already in early production, requiring a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab. This aligns best with Spider-Man 3, considering other potential projects: Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly far along in development, and a rumored Venom spin-off (a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2) is speculated for release this year, making early production unlikely. A new Ratchet and Clank game, slated for 2029 according to some leaks, is also a possibility, but Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties makes Spider-Man 3 the more probable candidate.

Ultimately, while confirmation is still pending, the job posting strongly suggests Insomniac is actively working on a new game, exciting news for PlayStation fans regardless of the title.
