Insomniac's Recent Job Posting Hints at Early Development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3
A newly surfaced job listing 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 as the most likely candidate.
The success of previous Spider-Man titles, coupled with 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 following Spider-Man 2's release. These leaks hinted at the existence of Spider-Man 3, though a release date remains far off.
The job posting, seeking a Senior UX Researcher for a three-month engagement at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab, specifically mentions involvement with a project already in early production. This timeline makes other rumored Insomniac projects less likely. Marvel's Wolverine, for instance, is reportedly further along in development. Similarly, a speculated Venom spin-off, a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2, is rumored for a 2024 release, making early production less probable.
Another possibility is a new Ratchet and Clank installment, projected for 2029. However, Insomniac's current focus on its expanding Marvel universe makes Spider-Man 3 the more plausible choice.
While speculation remains, the job listing strongly indicates Insomniac is actively developing a significant new title, generating considerable excitement among PlayStation enthusiasts. The possibility of an early-stage Marvel's Spider-Man 3 is particularly compelling.
