EA announced a brand new AAA studio to their family today, Cliffhanger Games who are developing an original single-player Black Panther action-adventure game. Cliffhanger is based in Seattle led by Kevin Stephens along with other industry veterans and leaders that worked on Halo Infinite, God of War, Call of Duty and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
The Black Panther game in collaboration with Marvel will be third-person and single-player like we mentioned above. Their goal is to give you a glorious game that takes you on a journey in the world of Wakanda.
“Our mission is to build an expansive and reactive world that empowers players to experience what it is like to take on the mantle of Wakanda’s protector, the Black Panther.” Kevin said.
In 2021 it was shared that Kevin Stephens would join a new EA division in Seattle to work on an open-world IP. It turns out this was the project that has already been at least two years in the making. Stephens was most known for his excellent work on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
EA most recently launched Star Wars Jedi: Survivor developed by Respawn Entertainment which turned out to be great. This will be Electronic Art’s next ambitious title and we will learn more in the future.
The next Marvel video game to come out is Spider-Man 2 developed by Insomniac Games and releases October 20, 2023
