partnership with Marvel — established last year — to make at least three new games. The Black Panther game is still in early development and therefore does not have a release window.

“We're dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, where the world activities create a sense of openness and freedom. It's also worth noting that the team is still being assembled, with Cliffhanger Games putting up job postings for anyone interested, on its official website.

No further details were revealed, but back in 2022, games journalist Jeff Grubb claimed that the game's premise is set after the death of the Black Panther in the beginning. Thereon, players will be tasked with completing a set of trials or challenges, in order to become the next incarnation and king of Wakanda. That said, it might not necessarily hint towards the death of King T'Challa since we have no idea what timeline the game is set in. In the comics, Wakanda was ruled by King T'Chaka, who got into trouble with the villainous, Vibranium-obsessed Ulysses Klaw, ultimately leading to his demise. Upon returning to his homeland after finishing school, his son T'Challa secretly took part in an open challenge to become the Black Panther we know now. So, there's a possibility that we could be playing an origin story. At this point, I'm just speculating, though.

Black Panther is second in the line of three games EA has in development under a deal with Captain America and Black Panther as leads.

Currently, there is no release window for the Black Panther game, but we can expect it to be out on Xbox Series S/X.
