As we celebrate the 57th anniversary of Black Panther's comic debut this July, we're thrilled to announce Cliffhanger Games, a new triple-A development studio based in Seattle, is working on an original, third-person, single-player Black Panther game in collaboration with Marvel Games. 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.

Led by Kevin Stephens (ex-Monolith Productions), Cliffhanger has already brought together accomplished talent with leaders from the critically acclaimed and innovative action-adventure game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, along with veterans of top franchises including Halo Infinite, God of War, Call of Duty and others. "We're dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game. Wakanda is a rich Super Hero 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," said Kevin.



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. "It's an incredibly rare opportunity to build a new team around the values of diversity, collaboration, and empowerment," said Kevin. "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."

If you're looking to take on an incredible next career move, we invite you to join our team, which we will be building over the next few years. 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 Super Hero as important as Black Panther.

I guess all those failed Marvel games (Midnight Suns, Avengers, etc.) haven't convinced anyone yet. Spiderman is not the norm.
 
If this was Insomniac Games, I would excited for it. Some no name company that will soak up millions of dollars to experiment... naw buddy. Practice on something else and come back once ya'll are Certified Fresh (insert trademark).
 
Studio basically hanging from a cliff already.

You cant have faith in EA anymore.
 
We need all the new devs we can get these days. I hope they produce something good. I'm sooo tired of the same old, same old.
 
The snes had some fantastic marvel sidescrollers and the og Xbox had a great top down X-Men beatmup/shootmup make a new one like that with modern day tech and you would be golden.

That said, a black panther game....yeah idk if that will work, I can't even imagine that working out well

EA is the publisher. This is about a new studio, never made a game before.
 
Black Panther is dead. People should not touch that character...... Anyway, lets milk this character!

Superman is dead... The Joker is dead... Wonder Woman is dead...

Your point is emphatically invalid!
