Insomniac Games Now Hiring for PS5 Multiplayer Project

Insomniac Games truly stops for absolutely no one. After putting out Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart in the first eight months of the PlayStation 5’s lifespan, the Burbank-based developer is now actively advertising job positions for one of its next projects: a multiplayer game. The official Twitter account for the developer posted: “Insomniac is hiring! We have five new job openings for a multiplayer project. Come join us and be part of the #PlayStationStudiosFamily as we work on exciting things!”

The team is looking for a creative director, systems designer (multiplayer), story lead, art director, and VFX artist. As for the multiplayer-focused position specifically, the role includes overseeing “aspects of multiplayer features, mechanics, systems design, and more”.

Some of Insomniac Games’ more recent titles have been devoid of multiplayer components, of course. The previously mentioned Ratchet & Clank and Marvel’s Spider-Man experiences were all single player. You’d have to go back to 2013 with PS3 title Fuse for the last meaningful inclusion of multiplayer in an Insomniac Games experience. And then before Fuse, there was also Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One and the classic Resistance series.

We have to assume Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is in full production at this point, but what else does Insomniac Games have cooking up? Or could this job posting be for the web-slingers themselves? Maybe Peter Parker and Miles Morales will have the chance to beat up bad guys in the same game. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
