According to modder and Twitter user DniweTamp, newfound files within Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered hints at a co-op mode. There are executable references to multiplayer game mode in-game that are not accessible now in any way.

Insomniac was planning for a second player to take control of Miles Morales, equipped with his unique abilities in multiplayer mode. Dev team wanted to include a PvP mode and "Free For All" game type, which would have been a PvE mode.

PC version code has phrases like "Peter Parker is the Superior Spider-Man!" and "Miles Morales is the Superior Spider-Man!" as well as "player 1", "player 2" with red and blue teams, probably hinting at two players facing against each other.

Multiplayer mode may have been planned as a separate mode than single-player campaign, as hinted by in-game files. It wouldn't have been available since the very beginning and you either have to unlock it later or download it eventually.

These in-game files could also suggest that Insomniac Games is developing a multiplayer mode for upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man 2, which will seemingly feature both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters in recent sequel.

Marvel's Spider-Man having a co-operative mode doesn't make a lot of sense since Miles don't become a superhero until his spin-off game. About a sequel, Insomniac claims Spider-Man 2 is their most epic single-player experience till date.
