The bloodletting continues at Electronic Arts, which has confirmed an IGN report that the Black Panther game announced in 2023 has been cancelled. Developer Cliffhanger Games is being closed as a result of the cancellation, and separately EA is also making other layoffs across some of its other teams, although the number of people being put out of work is unknown.
The cancellation of the Black Panther game was relayed to employees in an email sent by EA Entertainment and Technology president Laura Miele, according to the report. Miele said in the email that the decision to halt the project and shutter the studio was necessary to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities."
