EA Has A ‘Black Panther’ Game On The Way: Here’s What We Know – SlashGear

“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,” says the EA team. Cliffhanger Games is promising an authentic and definitive experience of playing as the King of Wakanda.

It appears that the team at Cliffhanger Games will put special emphasis on lore, and claims that players will have more control over the narrative than any story-driven game they’ve played before. Games with a deeply-engaging narrative and emotional character arc are usually a safe bet, and they make waves in the awards circuits, too. “God of War Ragnarok,” “The Last of Us 2,” as well as “Red Dead Redemption 2” are some of the recent examples.

With “Black Panther,” EA’s Cliffhanger Games has a huge bank of story ideas spanning 57 years of comic book history to draw upon. Interestingly, Skydance New Media and Marvel Games are also developing another game featuring Black Panther and Captain America, while the story is set during the World War II era.

As for Marvel Games, the entertainment behemoth has delivered some buzzy games lately, including “Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Marvel’s Midnight Suns,” while there are two more titles, “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” and “Marvel’s Wolverine,” are lined up for release in the months and years ahead.
