EA has cancelled its Black Panther video game which has been in the works for a couple of years now. Marvel has been massively investing in the gaming scene for the last decade or so, trying to take all of the hype it has created around these characters with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and take it to aiming. Obviously, the most notable example of this is Marvel's Spider-Man, which has been a megaton hit for PlayStation and Insomniac Games. Since then, Marvel has taken some cracks at other characters with games like Marvel's Avengers and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy with plans for more with Wolverine, Iron Man, and Black Panther.
Unfortunately, EA has other plans. IGN has reported that the gaming giant has cancelled its Black Panther video game and as a result, will shut down the studio behind it, Cliffhanger Studios. The studio had yet to release a new game since opening its doors as Black Panther was its first project. EA noted that the reason for the layoffs and cancellation is to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities." EA plans to continue to focus on Battlefield, Skate, The Sims, as well as its Iron Man game that remains in development.
