Electronic Arts has announced the establishment of a new Seattle-based studio, Cliffhanger Games, with its first project being a third-person single-player game based on Marvel’s Black Panther franchise.
Studio head Kevin Stephens stated: “We want our game to enable players to feel what it’s like to be worthy of the Black Panther mantle in unique, story-driven ways, and we want Cliffhanger Games to empower everyone on our team as we collaborate to bring this amazing world to life. We’re still early in development with a long road ahead, but we know the foundation to any great story is to build an experienced team with diverse voices and perspectives and that’s what we want to build, especially with a superhero as important as Black Panther.”
“As we begin this remarkable journey, we are excited to be working with Marvel Games to ensure that we craft every aspect of Wakanda, its technology, its heroes, and our own original story with the attention to detail and authenticity that the world of Black Panther deserves.”
The team at Cliffhanger Games includes veterans who have worked on God of War, Halo Infinite, and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, among others
