Electronic Arts (EA) has reportedly cancelled its in-development Black Panther game and closed Cliffhanger Games, the studio developing it. This marks EA’s third round of cuts this year, following layoffs at Respawn Entertainment (developers of Star Wars Jedi) and the cancellation of a Titanfall project in April.
The cancellation of the Black Panther game, based on the popular Marvel Comics superhero, will result in an unspecified number of layoffs. The decision was reportedly communicated to staff in an email from EA Entertainment president Laura Miele, as reported by IGN. This move highlights ongoing restructuring and prioritization within EA as it navigates the competitive gaming landscape. The company continues to adjust its portfolio and resource allocation, impacting several studios and projects.
