As of writing, Insomniac has yet to confirm the development of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, as it’s been working hard on Marvel’s Wolverine, which is expected to drop in late 2026. While no confirmation has come, rumors and leaks indicate that Insomniac is also developing the threequel to cap off the Marvel’s Spider-Man trilogy. Still, it’s taking far longer than most fans likely suspected. Insomniac has worked hard to produce these licensed games at relatively regular intervals of 2-3 years, but it’s beginning to look like Spider-Man 3 might not come around until the next-generation PlayStation arrives.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 Could Take Longer Than Expected
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 ends with two post-credit scenes, where Norman Osborn visits Doc Ock in prison. He’s writing “The final chapter,” which was followed by Miles Morales meeting Cindy Moon, better known as Silk in the comics, suggesting the next game’s primary players will include her. Spider-Man 2 combined gameplay with Peter Parker and Miles Morales, so it stands to reason that once Cindy gets her powers, she’ll join them as a playable character. Of course, this is all supposition based on the post-credit scenes, but it stands to reason as a viable evolution of the games’ format.
Rumours abound on the Internet suggesting that Miguel O’Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099, will also be a playable character, so the threequel will likely be a huge affair that’s significantly more complex than its predecessors. If this is true, the concern of many fans that we won’t get our hands on a playable game for several years begins to come into focus. On top of that, other rumors are suggesting that Marvel’s Venom and other potential spin-offs could be incoming, which would likely push a threequel in the mainline series further from publishing, which has left some concerned that it won’t arrive until the PlayStation 6 does.
