Insomniac Games' Latest Job Listing Hints at Multiple Playable X-Men Characters

The California-based video game developer Insomniac Games has been a seasoned veteran in the industry for more than a decade. Its developers have been working on Marvel IPs for more than five years. And their latest title is Marvel's Wolverine. Regardless of its overall response across the community, gamers kept their faith in this company, especially for its Spider-Man franchise.

And the faith is likely to increase because of a recent Insomniac Games job listing. In short, the job description doesn't really indicate an Insomniac X-Men game. It, however, suggests that the future title might feature multiple playable characters. With recent leaks about projects like Spider-Man 3 in the pipeline, a potential X-Men game seems like the obvious answer. Let's take a look at what we've gathered so far from the leaks.

Insomniac Games' New Job Listing Hints at Multiple Playable Characters

Insider Gaming's team did some digging and found a few Insomniac Games job listings. It's quite evident that Insomniac didn't disclose the exact project they've been hiring for. The requirement for the Staff Hero Designer position, however, caught everyone's attention. The California-based company is looking for someone who can focus on Traversal, Combat mechanics, Characters, Controls, and Camera (3 Cs).

The JD also says that the hire needs to work on execution and design for more playable characters. It has been mentioned a total of 4 times, and that's what makes it more interesting. Considering Spider-Man's franchise, the Insomniac X-Men game is likely to be the only option with multiple characters. Moreover, the current Marvel's Wolverine could act as a foundation for this potential X-Men title in the future. Basically, Insomniac is going towards the same path as its other titles. It's likely to feature 3rd-person perspective.

Boss Combat Designs Are Likely To Be Interesting

Apart from the Staff Hero Designer, Insomniac posted something regarding the combat. That, however, doesn't disclose the proper gameplay mechanics as a whole. The interesting part, on the other hand, is the essential responsibilities. Insomniac has clearly mentioned that they want “polished AI enemy combatants”. Meanwhile, they've also mentioned that the Combat designer should know how to build mini and large-scale boss encounters.

Considering they might be looking to make a multi-character or probably multi-storyline game is all indicating towards an X-Men title. We could be wrong, considering there are multiple upcoming projects for Insomniac in hand. One thing for sure is that, considering the amount of leaks we see across social media, it'll be a wait for a few days. We might see if it's really an X-Men game or something else that we're about to witness from Insomniac.
