"Spider-Man 3 in Early Production at Insomniac"

A recent job listing from Insomniac Games has sparked excitement among fans, hinting that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 might be in the early stages of production. The success of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles, culminating in the critically acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man 2 released in 2023, has set high expectations for what's next in this beloved series. With the sequel leaving several plot threads open, fans are eager to see how the story will unfold in the upcoming installment.

Rumors and speculation have been rampant since a list of upcoming Insomniac games was leaked following a data breach shortly after Spider-Man 2's launch on the PS5. These leaks not only mentioned Marvel's Spider-Man 3 but also hinted at new characters potentially making their debut in the Insomniac universe. However, it's important to keep in mind that the game is still likely several years away from release.

Adding fuel to the fire, a new job listing for a Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games suggests that work on Marvel's Spider-Man 3 may already be underway. The role involves leading the research process for a AAA title and requires the candidate to work at Insomniac's Burbank UX Lab for three months on a project currently in early production. Given the timeline and focus of Insomniac's current projects, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems to be the most likely candidate for this description.

Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production

Among the games mentioned in previous leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 appears to be the best fit for the early production stage. Marvel's Wolverine, another project in Insomniac's lineup, has reportedly been in development for years and is progressing despite some challenges. Meanwhile, whispers of a half-sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character have circulated, with some sources suggesting a potential release later this year, as indicated by the 2023 Insomniac data breach. Given these details, it's unlikely that the Venom game would still be in early development.

This leaves us with either Marvel's Spider-Man 3 or a new Ratchet and Clank game planned for 2029 as the possible project mentioned in the job listing. Considering Insomniac's current emphasis on expanding its Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 emerges as the more probable choice. However, these are still speculations, and no official confirmation has been made yet. Regardless, the news that Insomniac is working on a new game in early production is thrilling for PlayStation enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next big title.
