Will there be a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3?

[FoxyGirl2987]

In 2018, Marvel’s Spider-Man was released for the PS4. With a remastered PS5 re-release in 2021. It was followed with 2020’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales released both on the PS4 and PS5. And now fast forward to this year, we’re just weeks away from the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Which is technically gonna be the first Insomniac Spider-Man video game to only be released on one console. But as you can see the question is, will there be a third game (Miles Morales was a spin off FYI). I’m asking because I’ve been watching videos about the Green Goblin’s involvement in the second game. Some say he’ll be there, whereas others insist that he be in the third game. Now do I think there’ll be a third game. No, absolutely not. I think that Insomniac will most likely put the web slinger to bed after this game. So I’m gonna create a poll based on how likely it’ll be that a third game will happen

Okay I accidentally put definitely not twice. The top answer is supposed to be entitled “Definitely”

Almost certainly. The previous games did fairly well and now a lot of the assets are already produced and people organized with more experience than before. Costs have gone down. Expected income has not.

Also, while I am into Spider Man it is also just reality that reusing a successful IP is how things work now. We almost always get XYZ 1, 2, 3, spin off, 4, 5... so on. Companies no longer stop producing an IP, for better or worse.

[FoxyGirl2987]

Yeah but you gotta learn not to cause money or success over principle

[FoxyGirl2987]

Not to value money or success over principle

Reality is that as long as they have rights to the IP and it is likely to earn money at low risk, there will be a new one.

I agree principle is how it should work. But that's not normal reality.

Of course we have recent hits like BG3 and Cyberpunk 2077's redemption story, that both went with principle and are benefitting for it. So maybe you're right. It would be hilarious if gamers are the first group to make suppliers think about principle and quality.

If you gave me a $2 Billion contract to make a Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 I’d rip it up the second I saw it

[Effably]

Perhaps wisely so. I doubt it'd ever make that money back.

If this game pulls in the money I think most think it will their is no way they don't make another

[FoxyGirl2987]

Yeah but it won’t just be about money. It’ll be about principle. Should you sign on for a third game just because it’s predecessors were successful. Is it really worth the money

[boggboss]

The days of triple a companies caring about anything but money are long gone the only studio now for me personally is from soft apart from that I dont know any that are not above a easy money to please shareholders

[hbkfan]

No it already came out and it's just a sequel to the main game miles Morales was more of a sequel and a prequel has it continued the ending of the first game and it has stuff that lead to the new game

[FoxyGirl2987]

Miles Morales is meant to be a spin off. This game is meant to be an official sequel

[jshm2]

Fucking hope not. That shit is terrible as it is.

[OfDeath]

Fuuuck, I hope not.
