Marvel Games and EA’s latest studio, Cliffhanger Games has officially announced a Black Panther video game in development.
With the reveal of the game, they released some details for the new single-player action-adventure game where the player will be able to explore the vibrant world of Wakanda.
As Marvel is celebrating the 57th anniversary of Black Panther’s debut in the comics this July, they announced Cliffhanger Games, a new triple-A development studio which is based in Seattle. They will be the studio working on the game.
The game is said to be a third-person, single-player, action-adventure Black Panther game in collaboration with Marvel Games.
The mission is to build an expansive and reactive world that empowers players to experience what it is like to take on the mantle of the protector of Wakanda, the Black Panther.
Kevin Stephens has said “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 Super Hero 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, to ensure that we craft every aspect of Wakanda, its technology, its heroes, and our own original story with the attention to detail and authenticity that the world of Black Panther deserves.“
He also went on to say “It’s an incredibly rare opportunity to build a new team around the values of diversity, collaboration, and empowerment,” said Kevin. “We want our game to enable players to feel what it’s like to be worthy of the Black Panther mantle in unique, story-driven ways, and we want Cliffhanger Games to empower everyone on our team as we collaborate to bring this amazing world to life.”
