EA has officially announced its collaboration with Marvel to develop a single-player game based on the popular superhero, Black Panther. The game is being created by Cliffhanger Games, a Seattle-based studio established by EA. Led by Kevin Stephens, the former studio head of Monolith Productions, known for their work on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the team aims to deliver an original and immersive story-driven experience set in the captivating world of Wakanda. While the game is still in the early stages of development, it signifies EA’s commitment to creating at least three new games in partnership with Marvel.
In a blog post, Kevin Stephens expressed his dedication to providing fans with an authentic Black Panther experience, emphasizing the player’s agency and control over their narrative. He described Wakanda as a rich Super Hero sandbox, suggesting that the game may offer a heavy emphasis on exploration similar to other open-world titles. Although further details about the game’s features were not disclosed, the team at Cliffhanger Games is actively expanding, posting job listings on their official website for interested applicants.
While the game’s storyline remains undisclosed, industry journalist Jeff Grubb previously speculated that the premise could revolve around the death of the Black Panther, with players undertaking trials and challenges to become the next ruler of Wakanda. However, considering the ambiguous timeline set by the game, it is uncertain if this hints at the demise of King T’Challa or explores an origin story.
The Black Panther game is the second installment in EA’s Marvel lineup, with another unannounced game and an Iron Man game from EA Motive in Montreal in the works. Marvel has been forming partnerships with leading gaming studios, expanding its video game portfolio with popular titles like Spider-Man 2 and a standalone Wolverine game developed by Insomniac Games. Additionally, Amy Hennig’s new studio, SkyDance Media, is working on an untitled World War II game featuring Captain America and Black Panther as key characters.
While there is no confirmed release date for the Black Panther game, it is expected to be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X platforms.
