Electronic Arts announces a 'Black Panther' video game being worked by a new studio called Cliffhanger Games.
The Redwood City, California-based company announced that it's working with Cliffhanger Games on an original, third-person single-player Black Panther game. Cliffhanger is a new outfit led by Kevin Stephens, formerly of Monolith Productions makers of. That bodes well because that studio did a good job crafting a game with solid gameplay and innovative mechanics.
"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 Stephens said in news release.
What's notable about all four releases so far is that they're mostly third-person, single-player experiences developed in collaboration with Marvel Games.

For example, Kraven from the upcomingThe harder thing would be moving protagonists from one franchise to another, but if they're built from the same foundation of a third-person perspective, it could be something that's more achievable and intriguing.
