Sales figures for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 haven't been updated for a while by Sony Interactive Entertainment, but for the Japanese company, it's undoubtedly a commercial success. "This is a great success for a major series and category of games from PlayStation Studios," the manufacturer declared in 2024, announcing that it had sold more than 11 million copies. Figures that inevitably call for a Marvel's Spider-Man 3, which is also planned for 2028 on PS5... and PS6 cross-gen?
More people at the party for Marvel's Spider-Man 3?
Will there definitely be a Marvel's Spider-Man 3? Barring a huge turnaround, yes, and for several reasons. In addition to the success of the second installment, a sequel was clearly teased at the end of MS2. Two years ago, Insomniac Games was also the victim of a massive hack that revealed the studio's various projects up to 2031-2032. Among them, there is, of course, Marvel's Wolverine, which still has no date, but could arrive in 2026, and Marvel's Spider-Man 3, whose launch is scheduled for 2028.
But this data stolen from Insomniac revealed even more specific information, such as the development of a Marvel's Spider-Man multiplayer that could be released alongside MS3 or be directly integrated into this next installment. This direction could still be confirmed since Marvel's Spider-Man 3 could well have a nice surprise in store for you. And this time, it comes from a job offer. Several positions are available, including that of a designer who must have at least 5 years of experience in the design of "open-world levels, missions, and activities".
He will also be in charge of developing all the final content for Insomniac's single-player AND multiplayer games. Obviously, Marvel's Spider-Man 3 has not been announced, so the name of the title does not appear in the job offer. But between previous leaks and the description, it could totally correspond to the next adventure of the spider-man. And this is not the first time that Insomniac tries to explore multiplayer with the Marvel superhero.
What if it was X-Men?
A multiplayer Spider-Verse game has been scrapped, according to journalist Jason Schreier. It's therefore not impossible that the studio has found a solution, and/or wanted to try their luck in this area again. For others, it could also perhaps be X-Men. Because yes, in addition to Marvel's Spider-Man 3, we learned that one of the next Insomniac Games games would be dedicated to this gang. Some internet users therefore suggest that this could be another possibility.
During an interview, Yuri Lowenthal, the actor who plays Spidey's alter ego, confirmed that Peter Parker will indeed have a future in Marvel's Spider-Man 3. "No, Peter is not gone. He will be part of the next game and will not be confined to the couch, I promise you." It remains to be seen whether Peter will be playable alternately with Miles Morales, and whether or not there will ultimately be multiplayer.
