"Spider-Man 3: Early Production at Insomniac?"

Exciting developments are on the horizon for fans of Insomniac Games, as a new job listing hints that Marvel's Spider-Man 3 might already be in the early stages of production. Insomniac's previous Spider-Man titles have been both critical and commercial successes, and the 2023 release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 left numerous plot threads that could be explored in a sequel. Insomniac has confirmed the development of Marvel's Spider-Man 3, though details remain scarce.

Rumors and speculation about Marvel's Spider-Man 3 have been rampant, especially following a data breach that revealed a list of upcoming Insomniac projects shortly after Spider-Man 2's launch on the PS5. Leaks suggest that new characters might debut in the Insomniac universe through this sequel, although fans should temper their excitement as the game is likely years away from release.

Adding fuel to the fire, Insomniac's recent job listing for a Senior UX Researcher mentions working on a "AAA title" in early production. The role requires a 3-month stint at the company's Burbank UX Lab, pointing towards active development on a major project. Given the timeline and Insomniac's focus on their Marvel universe, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 seems the most likely candidate for this early-stage project.

Spider-Man 3 Might Already Be In Early Production

Among the games mentioned in past leaks, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 aligns best with the description provided in the job listing. Meanwhile, Marvel's Wolverine is reportedly further along in development, and there have been whispers of a half-sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 featuring Venom as the main playable character, possibly slated for release this year according to the 2023 Insomniac data breach. Given these timelines, 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 rumored for a 2029 release as potential matches for the job listing. Considering Insomniac's current emphasis on expanding their Marvel universe, Spider-Man 3 emerges as the frontrunner, though it's important to remember that this remains speculative. Regardless, the confirmation of a new game in early production is thrilling news for PlayStation enthusiasts.
