EA Announces Black Panther Game With Marvel, And It's Single-Player
Electronic Arts has officially announced that it is developing a Black Panther game as part of a deal with Marvel, but it's early days and plenty of questions remain unanswered. EA is also working on an Iron Man game with Marvel. EA said in September 2022 that it reached a long-term deal with Marvel, announcing at the time that Iron Man was the first of «several new games.» At least one more game, bringing the total to three EA-developed Marvel games, is also in the works.
«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,» EA said in a press release.
Cliffhanger Games is led by Kevin Stephens, who oversaw the production of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War at Monolith Productions. He joined EA in 2021 to build a new studio, and now its first game has finally been announced. Other members of the team at Cliffhanger worked on Halo, God of War, and Call of Duty.
