A multiplayer Spider-Man game is reportedly no longer happening at Insomniac Games.
According to a recent article from Bloomberg, per ComicBook.com, recently leaked documents claimed that a multiplayer Spider-Man game set in the world of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PlayStation could be in the works from Insomniac Games.
These claims, however, are reportedly inaccurate, as plans to develop such a game seemingly came to a halt several years ago.
“Many of the documents that have spread online thanks to the leak were old and may no longer be accurate, such as pitches for a multiplayer Spider-Man game that was actually canceled a long time ago, according to people familiar with the company’s plans,” Bloomberg’s article states.
