EA has just announced a new Black Panther game and it’s being developed by a new internal studio called “Cliffhanger Games.”

As one might expect, there is no gameplay footage to share at this time, but EA did confirmed that the upcoming title will be an original, single-player action-adventure game exploring the world of Wakanda.

Excited to introduce the world to our newest studio Cliffhanger Games and the announcement of its first game! #BlackPanther https://t.co/qUX8SkCred

While no other details have surfaced at this time, a report about it surfaced last year where it mentioned that the new studio is comrpised of former Monolith Productions (Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor) developers, and is being headed by Kevin Stephens. EA has also confirmed (via IGN) that veterans of Halo Infinite, God of War and even Call of Duty are also part of Cliffhanger.

Stephens states, “Wakanda is a rich superhero 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.”

For those looking forward to it, it’ll be a while, as Stephens has confirmed that it is “still early in development with a long road ahead.”

Given how fantastic Shadow of Mordor was, a Black Panther game built by the people behind Shadow of Mordor seems very interesting. Let’s hope they manage to avoid the open-world formulaic pitfalls and manages to deliver something marvelous.

This marks the second Marvel game being developed by EA, as the studio announced last year that internal studio Motive is making a game based on the Iron Man.
