Insomniac has confirmed that Spider-Man 2 won’t be a co-op game.
Speculation about the PS5 game supporting co-op began spreading on Monday, seemingly off the back of comments made by the voice actor who plays Miles Morales.
During a panel at the SacAnime convention last September, Nadji Jeter was asked if the sequel would support co-op, to which he replied: “I don’t know if it’s been announced or not, but I think so.”
The comments, which appear to be the result of a misunderstanding, seemingly flew under the radar until now, but they were widely circulated on Monday.
However, asked on Twitter if the game will be a co-op title, Insomniac quickly shot down the speculation. “Nope! It is an epic single-player adventure!” the studio said.
Earlier this month, Marvel and Insomniac released a free prequel comic for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
