EA has pulled the plug on the Black Panther game that was quietly in development, shutting down the studio behind it, Cliffhanger Studios. This is a notable blow for fans hoping to see Marvel’s iconic hero brought to life in a new gaming experience.
The news comes from a memo sent by EA Entertainment president Laura Miele to company staff, as reported by IGN’s Rebekah Valentine. It confirmed both the game’s cancellation and the closure of the developer.
Cliffhanger Studios, which had been working on the project, will no longer operate under EA. The reasons behind this decision remain unclear, leaving many to wonder what led to this sudden halt. Was the project struggling internally, or was it a broader strategic move by EA? Either way, it’s a tough break.
Wondering what this means for Marvel fans and the future of superhero games? Me too. It’s always disappointing when a game with such potential vanishes before it sees the light of day. Yikes.
