The newly formed triple-A development studio, Cliffhanger Games, will be the studio in charge of a new, original Black Panther video game. The studio, based in Seattle, will develop an original, third-person, single-player action game with collaboration from Marvel Games.

If you haven't heard of Cliffhanger Games before, that's because the studio was also just announced today alongside the new Black Panther game. Cliffhanger Games is a newly formed Electronic Arts studio that is led by Kevin Stephens, formerly of Monolith Productions. Stephens is joined by several other industry veterans that worked on titles such as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Halo Infinite, God of War, Call of Duty, and more.

“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 Kevin.
Both the studio and the Black Panther game's development are in very early stages. Cliffhanger Games is currently hiring to build up their team "over the next few years." While this new Black Panther game was just announced today, I would not expect to see much more in the way of news for at least another year, maybe even two years from now.
