Summary
Leaked information about Insomniac’s future plans suggest the inevitableMarvel’sSpider-Man 3game will potentially be released for the PlayStation 6 instead of the PS5. Insomniac has been on an absolute roll with its Marvel universe games, releasingMarvel’s Spider-Man,Spider-Man: Miles Morales, andSpider-Man 2to rave reviews from fans and critics alike.Miles Moraleswas even a launch title for the PS5, so it stands to reason that Insomniac could be looking to do something similar withSpider-Man 3and the eventual PS6.
A recent ransomware attackleaked information about Insomniac’s future games. Plans can always change, but if the leaks are accurate, Insomniac is supposedly going to release aVenomvideo game in 2025, followed byWolverinein 2026,Spider-Man 3in 2028, a newRatchet & Clankgame in 2029, and finally, anX-Mengame in 2030. Time will tell if that all plays out as expected, but with the PS6 expected to drop in 2028 or thereabouts, there is a distinct possibilitySpider-Man 3will be aiming for release on the new console.
Microsoft’s court battle with the FTC revealed that thenext Sony console won’t be coming until after 2027, with many believing that the PS6 will be released in 2028. If that’s true, it stands to reason that Sony and Insomniac would positionSpider-Man 3as a launch title for the new system. After all,Spider-Man 2has enjoyed incredible sales success, and so it’s easy to see howSpider-Man 3would be a popular-enough launch title to convince fans to buy the new system.
Insomniac’s Next 5 Games (According to Leaks)
Alternatively,Spider-Man 3could be a cross-gen game that’s released for both PS5 and PS6 at the same time.Miles Moraleswas a cross-gen game, and many PlayStation-published titles in the first few years of the PS5’s life were cross-gen as well, including heavy hitters likeHorizon Forbidden WestandGod of War Ragnarok. The PS5 will have a massive install base by the time 2028 comes around, and so Sony would potentially be leaving a ton of money on the table by havingSpider-Man 3release as a PS6 exclusive.
Of course, it’s possibleSpider-Man 3will release exclusively for PS5 and skip the PS6 entirely, or at least, not come to the new system until some time after its launch.Spider-Man 3could instead be the PS5’s swan song, putting itself in a positionsimilar to whatThe Last of Us Part 2was for the PS4. While Sony could have waited a few months and launchedLast of Us Part 2for PS5, it instead opted to launch the game as one of the PS4’s last true exclusives before it started sharing games with PS5. The same could happen withSpider-Man 3in 2026, but fans will just have to wait and see what happens.
