What seem to be early images from a third Spider-Man game by Insomniac Games have leaked and they suggest the game is a long way off yet. The fact that there’ll eventually be a Spider-Man 3 game for PlayStation 5 seems pretty obvious, but the problem is that Spider-Man 2 cost over $300 million to make. Its massive budget is assumed to be one of the primary reasons that Sony is suddenly so obsessed with live service games and its number of new releases have slowed to a crawl in the last few years.
That doesn’t mean Sony won’t fund more such games in the future, just that they’re likely to be far less frequent and/or subject to lower budgets. Insomniac is known to be working on a new Wolverine game though, as rumours also suggest a spin-off starring Venom (likely similar in scope to the Miles Morales game). A massive hack last year revealed that Insomniac is also planning games based on the X-Men and a new Ratchet & Clank, as well as the inevitable Spider-Man 3 for autumn 2028.
And now the first screenshots have, sort-of, leaked online. The hacked information suggested that Venom would be out in autumn 2025 and Wolverine in 2026, but the further forward you get in time the more subject to change these plans will inevitably be. Nevertheless, the hack suggests that Spider-Man 3 is due in 2028 and may be split into two parts -either because it’s too big or to help compensate for the high budget.
The ending of Spider-Man 2 certainly made it very clear there was going to b.
