We’ve all heard about the Black Panther game that was under development. Electronic Arts was handling the publishing part, but now there’s news that has stunned fans. The game is reportedly being cancelled, which means Black Panther fans will never be able to get their hands on it now. The game was talked about often, but there were no official updates about its development cycle, and it seems like there’s no hope now. Let’s discuss more about the Black Panther game being cancelled.
Black Panther Game Cancelled
The awaited Black Panther game has been cancelled by EA as they want to “sharpen their focus and put their creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities.” Cliffhanger Games, which was opened in 2023 specifically for this project, the studio that was developing the video game, has now shut down, and several employees have been laid off.
Laura Miele, the president of EA Entertainment, shared this official update with the media. “These decisions are hard,” Miele said in a memo to staff. “They affect people we’ve worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We’re doing everything we can to support them, including finding opportunities within EA, where we’ve had success helping people land in new roles.”
About Black Panther Game
The Black Panther game was officially announced in 2023, and since then, Marvel fans have been in great excitement. Cliffhanger Games was developing it, while EA was supposed to publish it. It was a third-person, action-adventure RPG set in an expansive open world. The game had been in ‘early development’ since then, but now the cancellation is confirmed.
Other Updates
EA also cancelled another game in the Titalfall franchise, which also disappointed gamers worldwide. Now, this is another bad news for Marvel Fans. But wait, fans of Black Panther can look forward to “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra,” an upcoming action-adventure game developed by Skydance New Media. Scheduled for release in 2026, this game will feature both Captain America and Black Panther as playable characters.
Summary
So, if you are a Black Panther fan, you are probably shocked right now. Marvel Comics have always been fan-favorites, and they’re always looking forward to games based on those. Reportedly, EA made a deal with Marvel to create several games, and an Iron Man game is still on the way. So, cheer up, all is not lost. Stay tuned for further updates!
