Update: 21:15 BST 03-06-2025 - Insomniac Games has clarified viait’s official Twitter accountthat Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will not have co-op and is an “epic single-player adventure”.
We’re just two days away from thePlayStation Showcaseand one of the titles widely expected to receive a release date isSpider-Man 2. We know that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales from the most recent Spider-Man titles will be playable, but now we’re finding out they might be playable at the same time by two different people.
Speaking at SacAnimelast summer (and spotted onReddit), Miles voice actor Nadji Jeter answered a fan who asked if Spider-Man 2 was co-op. “I don’t know if it’s been announced or not,” he said, “but I think so.”

So far, Insomniac has said that Spider-Man 2 will be single-player only, butthere’s been leaked codethat suggests it could be co-op or even have a multiplayer game mode. References to “co-op” were leaked alongside markers for “Player 1,” “Player 2,” “Red Team,” “Blue Team,” “Character 1,” and “Character 2,” suggesting some sort of team-based competition.
It’s possible that this was all leftover code from an earlier iteration of Spider-Man 2 and won’t be found in the final product. It’s also possible that this is what Jeter was thinking of when he said that co-op had already been revealed for Spider-Man 2. Neither Sony nor Insomniac has acknowledged the leak or mentioned anything about co-op.
Elsewhere in the Q&A session, a fan asked if Miles will wear the Venom symbol at any point in Spider-Man 2, suggesting that he might merge with the alien symbiote. Jeter replied, “They’re everywhere. They gonna be everywhere.”
This hadone Redditorsuggesting that Spider-Man 2 might harken back to a plot point in 2008’s Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, which “did ‘symbiotes everywhere’ very well and it would certainly differentiate the maps of all three games.”
Miles might not merge with the symbiote, but he will have some new tricks in store for fans. Answering a question about the small things Miles does to stand apart from Peter Parker and the other Spider-People, Jeter said that Miles gets “clever” with his webs in the next game.
“We had to make Miles grow,” Jeter explained, noting how we’ve seen Parker’s growth from high school student to friendly neighborhood superhero. “So that’s what we kind of had to capture for Miles for y’all, like what little things could he do at this age that’s appropriate but also funny at the same time. That was the swinging and the flipping in the air, and his acrobatics.
“We have a lot more funny stuff because he gets clever with his webs in the next one. Yeah, he gets real clever. He’s getting the hang of it.”
