Electronic Arts Halts Development of 'Black Panther' Game and Closes Cliffhanger Studios
May 29, 2025 - 21:30
In a significant shift within the gaming industry, Electronic Arts has decided to cancel the highly anticipated 'Black Panther' video game. This decision comes as part of a new wave of layoffs that have affected the company, following earlier cuts made in April. During that round of layoffs, the company also scrapped a planned 'Titanfall' game, signaling a strategic pivot in its development focus.
The closure of Cliffhanger Studios, the team behind the 'Black Panther' project, marks a notable loss for the gaming community, which had high hopes for a game centered on the iconic Marvel character. The studio's shutdown not only affects the talented developers but also raises questions about the future of superhero-themed games under the Electronic Arts banner.
As the gaming landscape continues to evolve, these decisions reflect broader trends within the industry, including shifting priorities and the need for companies to adapt to changing market demands. Fans of both the Marvel universe and gaming will undoubtedly feel the impact of these developments in the coming months.
