Electronic Arts (EA) has revealed its plans to develop a Black Panther game, along with the establishment of a new studio called Cliffhanger Games. The Seattle-based studio consists of a team composed of Monolith Productions veterans, known for their work on the Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War titles. These games are highly regarded third-person action games that have successfully utilized established licenses.

Cliffhanger Games will be led by Kevin Stephens, a creator who has contributed to both Shadow titles and Batman Arkham Origins. In a blog post on EA’s website, Stephens expressed his dedication to providing fans with an authentic and definitive Black Panther experience. The game aims to offer players more agency and control over their narrative than ever before in a story-driven video game. Stephens stated, “Wakanda is a rich superhero sandbox, and our mission is to develop an epic world for players who love Black Panther and want to explore the world of Wakanda as much as we do.”

The press mailer suggests that the Black Panther game will aim to construct an expansive and reactive world that empowers players to embody the role of Wakanda’s protector, the Black Panther. The development team intends to meticulously craft every aspect of Wakanda, including its technology, heroes, and an original storyline. The collaboration with Marvel Games ensures that the game will be executed with the utmost attention to detail and authenticity, honoring the world of Black Panther.

While the announcement does not provide much information about the gameplay or specific features of the Black Panther game, it does confirm that the setting will be in Wakanda.

Marvel games are currently thriving, with successful titles like Guardians of the Galaxy and Marvel’s Spider-Man, which is considered one of the top games for the PS5. Additionally, Marvel Snap continues to captivate players. Alongside the Black Panther game, the highly anticipated Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Marvel’s Wolverine releases are expected to further elevate the gaming experience.
