Exciting news for fans of the web-slinger! A recent job listing from Insomniac Games hints at the early stages of production for Marvel's Spider-Man 3. Given the critical and commercial success of the previous titles in the series, it's no surprise that fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment. The 2023 release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 left fans with numerous plot threads ripe for exploration in a sequel, and Insomniac has officially confirmed that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in development, though details remain scarce.
Rumors and leaks have been swirling around Marvel's Spider-Man 3, especially following a massive data breach shortly after Spider-Man 2's launch on the PS5. These leaks suggest new characters could make their debut in the Insomniac universe, adding to the anticipation. However, fans should temper their expectations as the game is likely still years away from release.
A newly posted job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games further supports the idea that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is in early production. The listing calls for someone to lead the research process for a AAA title, with a required 3-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab to work on a project already in its early stages. This aligns perfectly with the timeline for a new Spider-Man game, given the ongoing development of other titles like Marvel's Wolverine, which has reportedly been in development for several years.
Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production
Among the games mentioned in previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems the most likely candidate for the project described in the job listing. While there have been rumors of a half-sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character, potentially releasing this year according to the 2023 Insomniac data breach, such a game would not be in early development at this point.
This leaves us with either Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank game planned for 2029 as possibilities. However, given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 appears to be the frontrunner. While all of this remains speculative, the confirmation of a new game in early production is thrilling news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
