Insomniac Games job listings suggest multiple playable heroes in upcoming project

Recent job listings from Insomniac Games indicate that an upcoming project will feature multiple playable characters, fueling speculation regarding a potential X-Men title. While the studio has not officially confirmed the subject matter, the recruitment of a ‘Staff Hero Designer’ to manage ‘one or more playable characters’ suggests an ensemble-based experience.

These listings contrast with the studio’s recent Marvel’s Wolverine, which focused on a single protagonist. The new roles, including Senior Combat Designer and Senior Gameplay Programmer, emphasize enemy AI, boss encounters, and ally behaviors, pointing toward a combat-heavy action game. While the roles could potentially apply to other projects like Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, industry speculation links the hiring patterns to earlier reports of an X-Men game.
