Insomniac’s recent job advertising hints Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 is in early production. All of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games have been critically and economically successful, and 2023’s Spider-Man 2 left several loose plot lines for a sequel. Insomniac announced Marvel’s Spider-Man 3’s development, but little else.
Ever since Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 was listed in a big data leak a few months after Spider-Man 2’s PS5 release, speculations and speculation have abounded. Other sources suggest Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 will introduce Insomniac universe characters, but the game is likely years away.
A fresh Insomniac Senior UX Researcher job listing suggests the PlayStation developer is already working on Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. The job states that this senior researcher will “leading the research process for a AAA title,” working at Insomniac Games’ Burbank UX Lab for three months on an early-production project.
Spider-Man 3 May Be In Pre-Production
Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 falls closest to this description among Insomniac-developed games leaked. After all, Marvel’s Wolverine has been in development for years, and insiders claim production is proceeding well despite obstacles. The 2023 Insomniac data breach suggests a half-sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character could be launched this year. If these reports are real, the Venom game is unlikely to be in early development.
According to the latest Insomniac job listing, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 or a 2029 Ratchet and Clank game are the options. Spider-Man 3 seems like the greatest bet as Insomniac is focusing on its developing Marvel world, but this is all speculation. In any case, Insomniac appears to be developing a new PlayStation game, which is intriguing.
