Now that Sony's Spider-Man is out on PC (which we covered and highly recommend), players can finally access all the internal files and discover everything that was left in the code, and never made it into the full game.



A Twitter user named DniweTamp poked around in the game files and saw that Insomniac was originally working on a network mode where two players could play against each other, or against the computer together (PVP and PVE).

In the files you can see comments and references for "Actor 1" or "Actor 2", and the two characters that the actors will play are Peter Parker, and Miles Morales.

The players had all the abilities of both Spider-Man at their disposal.



DniweTamp also posted the game's reference to a player's victory, and the caption "Peter Parker/Miles Morales is the better Spider-Man" can be seen, depending on which player won.



This game mode is supposed to be separate from the main campaign, and it is not clear if it was supposed to open after a certain point reached by the players, or in DLC that was supposed to be added in an update.

Computer players have much easier access to system files and game code (so, for example, mod development is possible) and discoveries like this can be made.

We assume that this is a feature that was originally planned, but we assume that because Miles' character only becomes Spider-Man at the end of the game, it was decided to postpone the idea until Spider-Man 2.



We are very convinced and even expect to see the feature in the next game, which is announced for 2023. Meanwhile we Still waiting for her to release more details.
