There’s simply no question that Insomniac Games is carrying this generation for Sony.

Erin Eberhardt, a former Blizzard staffer, teased the title as part of a Full Sail University seminar, which has been shared on social media. She’s currently a Project Director at the developer.

She reiterates twice that the game is unannounced and that she’s unable to talk about it, so we’re fairly confident this isn’t Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 or Marvel’s Wolverine, as otherwise she’d likely just say so. She’s also eager to stress that the game she’s working on is AAA, so this isn’t a side-project – presumably it’ll be its next big thing.

Nevertheless, it’s exciting to learn that Sony’s most industrious studio is
