Bloomberg reports: According to the files, Sony plans to release several Marvel-inspired titles in the next decade, including Spider-Man 3, based on Venom and X-Men games. The files also reference a new Ratchet &amp; Clank game apparently slated for 2029. Insomniac and Marvel&#8217;s licensing commitment is as high as $621 million to develop and market the X-Men games by 2035, according to one document, which was one of many circulating on the internet. The documents also give us a peak into how Sony internally felt about Microsoft&#8217;s acquisition of Blizzard. Eurogamer adds: Sony has privately described Microsoft&#8217;s $68.7bn takeover of Activision Blizzard as a potential &#8220;leapfrog&#8221; moment for its long-term console rival to take the lead.
