Marvel\'s Spider-Man 3 Could be \'in Early Production\' at Insomniac

Insomniac's Next Marvel Adventure: Spider-Man 3 on the Horizon?

Exciting news for fans of the web-slinging hero: a new job listing from Insomniac hints that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 could be in the early stages of production. Following the critical and commercial success of their previous Spider-Man titles, Insomniac is poised to continue their winning streak with this anticipated sequel. The 2023 release of Spider-Man 2 left fans with numerous plot threads ripe for exploration, and it appears that Insomniac is wasting no time diving back into the Marvel universe.

While Insomniac has confirmed the development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3, details remain scarce. The gaming community has been buzzing with rumors and speculation, especially after the game was mentioned in a list of upcoming Insomniac projects uncovered in a data breach following Spider-Man 2's launch on the PS5. Leaks also suggest new character introductions in the Insomniac universe, adding to the anticipation. However, fans should temper their excitement as the game is likely still years away from release.

A recent job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac further fuels the speculation. The listing seeks a professional to lead the research process for a AAA title, with a three-month stint at Insomniac Games' Burbank UX Lab. Given the timeline and the description of the project being in early production, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears to be the most likely candidate.

Rumors and Other Potential Projects

Amidst the excitement for Spider-Man 3, there have been persistent rumors about a half-sequel to Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character. Some speculate that this game could see a release as early as this year, based on information from the 2023 Insomniac data breach. However, if these leaks are accurate, it's unlikely that the Venom game would still be in early development.

Other potential projects mentioned in leaks include Marvel's Wolverine, which has reportedly been in development for several years and is progressing smoothly despite minor setbacks. Additionally, there's talk of a new Ratchet and Clank game planned for 2029. Yet, given Insomniac's current focus on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 seems the most probable project mentioned in the recent job listing.

While all of this remains speculative, the confirmation of a new game in early production at Insomniac is thrilling news for PlayStation enthusiasts. As we await more concrete details, the prospect of swinging back into the Spider-Man universe keeps fans eagerly on the edge of their seats.
