Electronic Arts establishes Seattle-based Cliffhanger Games to develop Black Panther game
gematsu.comElectronic Arts has announced the establishment of Cliffhanger Games, a new studio based in Seattle, and its first project, a third-person single-player game based on Marvel’s Black Panther franchise.
According to studio head Kevin Stephens, the former vice president and studio head of Monolith Productions, Cliffhanger Games is built on the “values of diversity, collaboration, and empowerment.”
“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,” Stephens said.
“We’re still early in development with a long road ahead, but we know the foundation to any great story is to build an experienced team with diverse voices and perspectives and that’s what we want to build, especially with a superhero as important as Black Panther.”
Cliffhanger Games’ team includes veterans who have worked on God of War, Halo Infinite, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and more.
“As we begin this remarkable journey, we are excited to be working with Marvel Games 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,” Stephens said.
Job openings are available at the Cliffhanger Games official website.
