Black Panther To Get His Own Video Game

T’Challa, King of Wakanda, may be dead in the MCU, but he will live on in the world of video games. Electronic Arts just announced today that a Black Panther video game is now in development. This will be a full-fledged Triple A production so huge, EA is creating a new studio just to make it.

Cliffhanger Games is the name of the studio, and Black Panther will be its first project for EA. Based in Seattle, the team will be helmed by Kevin Stephens, formerly the boss of Monolith Productions.

“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,” Stephens said. “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.”

EA entered a partnership with Marvel to produce three games — this is one, and an already announced Iron Man game from Motive Studio is another. Both titles are beloved to be single-player action adventures (we’re not sure how you’d force something about a single character into a GaaS model anyway, not that anyone wants that).

This is actually the second video game with Black Panther in it that is in development; Marvel Games and Skydance New Media announced Black Panther/Captain America: Flags of Our Fathers last fall — a team-up game where Cap and T-Challa’s grandfather battle Nazis.

Wow, I'm thrilled to hear that a Black Panther video game is in the works! As a fan of T'Challa and the world of Wakanda, I can't wait to immerse myself in a definitive and authentic experience. It's exciting to know that the developers are focused on providing players with agency and control over their narrative, allowing us to explore the rich superhero sandbox of Wakanda. He is alive in the comics and videogames and Marvel just killed him off because of Chadwick Boseman's death

I have to admit, I'm a bit hesitant about this Black Panther video game. While I'm excited about the concept and the potential to explore the world of Wakanda, I can't help but feel a lack of confidence due to EA's reputation as a company. I hope they can prove me wrong and deliver a truly remarkable gaming experience that does justice to the Black Panther character. However, I'll remain cautiously optimistic until I see more details and reviews about the game.

T'Challa's departure in the MCU is sad, but the idea that he will live on through the Black Panther video game provides some solace. Electronic Arts' goal to provide a first-rate experience is demonstrated by the effort they showed in establishing a new studio, Cliffhanger Games, specifically for this project. I'm excited to put myself in the shoes of the King of Wakanda and become him.​

I'm excited to hear about EA and Marvel's collaboration to create three games, including the upcoming Black Panther game. It's comforting to know that the emphasis will be on single-player action adventures, as this allows for a more deep and personalized experience. I am happy that they are avoiding the GaaS approach, as I believe it would not do credit to the depth and complexity of Black Panther's character.

I'm really excited about the new Black Panther game called Black Panther/Captain America: Flags of Our Fathers. It's a game where T'Challa's grandfather and Captain America fight against Nazis together. I think it's cool that they're exploring different ways to include Black Panther in games and giving fans different stories to enjoy. I can't wait to see how this game develops and how it adds to the Black Panther legacy.

Never in my dreams I thought Black Panther is gonna be in a video game, and it's gonna be legit! EA is putting in mad effort by making a whole new studio for it. They want us to have a real Black Panther experience and feel like we're part of the action. I'm pumped to dive into the world of Wakanda and kick some butt!
