Insomniac's Recent Job Listing Hints at Early Production of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly surfaced job posting at Insomniac Games suggests the early development of a major AAA title. While the listing doesn't explicitly name the project, several factors point towards Marvel's Spider-Man 3.
The success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, coupled with the numerous unresolved plot points in Spider-Man 2, strongly suggests a sequel is in the works. This aligns with previous leaks, including a list of upcoming Insomniac games obtained during a data breach. These leaks, while unconfirmed, mentioned Spider-Man 3 and hinted at new character introductions. However, the game's release is still likely years away.
The job posting, seeking a Senior UX Researcher for a three-month stint at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab, specifically mentions a project already in early production. This timeframe doesn't fit with other rumored Insomniac projects. Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly further along in development, and a rumored Venom spin-off, a potential half-sequel to Spider-Man 2, is speculated for release this year – making it unlikely to be in such early stages. A new Ratchet and Clank title, slated for a potential 2029 release, also seems less probable given Insomniac's current focus on its Marvel properties.
Therefore, while not definitively confirmed, the evidence strongly suggests that the project in question is indeed Marvel's Spider-Man 3. This news is undoubtedly exciting for PlayStation fans eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the critically acclaimed Spider-Man saga. The existence of a new game in early production at Insomniac is itself significant and promising.
