Insomniac was considering co-op multiplayer for Spider-Man

Now that Spider-Man has officially broken free of PlayStation exclusivity and ended up on PC, dataminers have swiftly gone to work trying to figure out all of the game's secrets. As it turns out, at one point, Insomniac was considering a multiplayer co-op component for the game. 

In the game files, dataminer ‘DniweTamp' found several strings pointing to co-op gameplay and file references to multiplayer. It would seem that at one point Insomniac was considering two playable characters in co-op mode, likely a combination of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.

Ultimately, Insomniac chose to not go ahead with this feature for the first game, or in the smaller standalone expansion, Miles Morales, which sees Peter Parker leaving NYC for a bit and leaving hero duties Miles.

Interestingly, Insomniac is currently working on Spider-Man 2 and the cinematic reveal trailer does hint at a closer partnership between Parker and Morales, with both of them fighting together. It is possible that co-op will make its way into the sequel, or perhaps Insomniac will stick to its current formula of having multiple playable characters at different points in the story.
