EA Announces New Marvel Video Game with BLACK PANTHER
EA is developing a Black Panther video game in collaboration with Marvel. The game will be created by the studio Cliffhanger Games, which is based in Seattle.
The new Black Panther game is being overseen by Kevin Stephens, who also worked on the Middle-earth games, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War in a leadership role. He said in a statement:
"We're dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game.
"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.”
There aren’t really any other details that have been revealed for the game, but it’ll be cool to see what they ended up coming up with! It would be great if they came up with an awesome gameplay experience for fans.
The press release from EA mentions that Cliffhanger will be building its team over the "next few years," so it'll be awhile before we see anything from the Black Panther game.
Cliffhanger Games is made up of veterans of Monolith Productions, who is the developer that previously developed Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. There are also veterans from God of War, Halo, Call of Duty, and more on the dev team.
