Exciting news for fans of the web-slinger: according to a recent job listing from Insomniac Games, the highly anticipated Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may already be in the early stages of production. The success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles has set a high bar, and with 2023's Spider-Man 2 leaving plenty of tantalizing plot threads, the stage is set for an epic sequel. While Insomniac has confirmed the development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3, details remain scarce, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more information.
Rumors have been swirling around the gaming community, particularly after a massive data breach a few months following the release of Spider-Man 2 on the PS5, which revealed a list of upcoming Insomniac projects. Among the leaks, there were hints about new characters set to make their debut in the Insomniac universe within Marvel's Spider-Man 3. However, fans should temper their expectations, as the game is still likely years away from hitting the shelves.
Adding fuel to the speculation fire, a new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games mentions a "AAA title" currently in early production. The role involves leading the research process and working at the Burbank UX Lab for three months. Given the timing and the focus of Insomniac's recent projects, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears to be the most likely candidate for this early-stage project. However, it's worth noting that Insomniac is also known for its Ratchet and Clank series, and a new title is rumored for 2029. Yet, with Insomniac's current emphasis on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 seems the more probable choice.
Amidst all this, persistent rumors of a half-sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character have caught the attention of fans. Some believe this game could see the light of day as early as this year, as hinted by the 2023 Insomniac data breach. If these rumors hold true, it's unlikely that this Venom-focused title would still be in early development.
While all this remains speculative, the confirmation that Insomniac has a new game in early production is thrilling news for PlayStation enthusiasts. Whether it's the next chapter in Peter Parker's adventures or another exciting project, fans can rest assured that Insomniac is hard at work crafting another unforgettable gaming experience.
