According to rumors, EA is working on a new Black Panther game that will feature a massive single-player, open-world experience. According to reports, the game will be developed by a new EA studio led by former Monolith Productions CEO Kevin Stephens, who joined the video game conglomerate in May 2021.
The game’s plot will be based on Black Panther’s death, according to industry insider Geoff Grubb, who also mentioned this in his podcast. Leading to players picking up the mantle.
“It is a single-player game, it is in very early development, and the game starts with Black Panther being dead,” Grubb explained. “The player is going to take on the challenges of becoming the new Black Panther and that seems to be the set-up for the game.” He also noted that the game’s current name is “Project Rainier,” which he thinks refers to Mount Rainier in Seattle, where the new Stephens-led EA studio is located.
Of course, EA has yet to make an official announcement, so Marvel fans should stay tuned for more information.
