EA has announced it's developing a game based on the Marvel Comics hero Black Panther, with the brand new studio Cliffhanger Games in charge of development on the game.
Adding to the ever-growing list of Marvel titles is a Black Panther game courtesy of EA. The title was announced today as the project from the newly opened Cliffhanger Games studio – headed by Kevin Stephens, who worked on the Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor games as well as a litany of WB Games titles like Batman: Arkham City, Scribblenauts and 2011's Mortal Kombat reboot. Marvel Games announced the game earlier today, in celebration of the anniversary of the debut of the Black Panther character in Fantastic Four #52 in July 1961.
The title was first rumoured around a year ago from Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb ( Via Eurogamer ) who reported that a Black Panther single-player open world game was in development at the Seattle studio, and that it will focus on a new character attempting to become the new Black Panther after the death of an earlier incarnation. Despite both featuring the character, the game has no connection to Skydance New Media's currently untitled Captain America x Black Panther team-up game set during World War 2.
