Spider-Man 2 for PS5 to Introduce Co-Op Gameplay, Confirms Miles Morales Voice Actor

Relatively little information has been confirmed about Spider-Man 2 thus far. It was announced during the PlayStation showcase event in September 2021, revealing that Peter Parker and Miles Morales will return while also introducing the villain Venom to the cast. However, no major announcements have been made since then. The first two games in the series were single-player experiences, so fans were not expecting anything different for Spider-Man 2. However, during a convention Q&A session, the voice actor for Miles Morales in the Marvel's Spider-Man game series from Insomniac hinted that the game will feature co-op. This news has sparked excitement, surprise, and curiosity among fans. A full reveal of the game is expected soon, and fans are eagerly anticipating any further information about this highly anticipated game.

However, plans for Spider-Man 2 may differ from the original pitch, as revealed by a recent discovery. A recording of Miles Morales voice actor Nadji Jeter from SacAnime Summer 2022, held on September 4, 2022, features Jeter participating in a Q&A panel where he was asked if Spider-Man 2 would have co-op. Initially hesitating, Jeter ultimately responds, "I think it has been announced. I don't know if it's been announced or not, but I think so. Yeah."

It should be noted that Jeter's comments may be in violation of a strict NDA typically enforced for voice actors to prevent the disclosure of confidential information. However, the fact that Jeter believes the announcement has already been made may justify his actions to some extent. It is important to note that Insomniac has not officially announced co-op support for Spider-Man 2, making Jeter's comments the first potential confirmation of co-op in the game.

It's possible that Jeter is mistaken about "co-op" and its reference in Spider-Man 2. It could be that he erroneously believed it meant both Peter Parker and Miles Morales being playable simultaneously, or that there is a separate co-op game mode. Alternatively, Jeter may have been misinformed and incorrect altogether. At this point, it is unclear.

If Spider-Man 2 remains a single-player game, Insomniac will likely offer clarification soon. They could respond to the leak or make an announcement during the May 24 PlayStation Showcase. It's also possible that co-op will be fully supported, which would undoubtedly excite Spider-Man fans who are eagerly anticipating news.
