Job Listings reveal new details on the next Black Panther game
Based on several job listings from the company, we have learned some fresh details regarding the next Batman game.
The new Batman game will probably be an open-world game, which has been rumored for at least a year but has finally been confirmed, according to a job posting for a senior game designer for Encounters.
We also discovered a few other intriguing items in the job listings for the studio. According to a job listing for a Senior Software Engineer – Tools and Systems, Unreal Engine 5 is being used to create the Black Panther video game. The game is described as an action role-playing game and will have a distinctive dialogue system in a job posting for a gameplay/narrative software engineer.
It’s intriguing to observe how more EA Studios are switching from the in-house Frostbite engine to Unreal Engine 5. Since this Black Panther game is single-player, it is anticipated to have a strong emphasis on the narrative, which may possibly have branching routes.

Under the leadership of Kevin Stephens from Monolith Productions, Cliffhanger has assembled a talented team featuring veterans from acclaimed titles such as Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. The team includes experienced individuals from renowned franchises like Halo Infinite, God of War, and Call of Duty, ensuring a wealth of expertise in the action-adventure gaming space.
Kevin expressed his commitment to providing fans with an immersive and empowering experience in a story-driven Black Panther game. By granting players unprecedented agency and control over their narratives, the team at Cliffhanger aims to create an epic world within Wakanda, a vibrant superhero sandbox.
Their passion for Black Panther fuels their dedication to crafting a new Black Panther game that allows players to explore and adore Wakanda’s rich universe.
“We’re dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their narrative than they have ever experienced in a story-driven video game.

In terms of a release date, there is no set date for the release of the Black Panther game. In fact, as of this writing, neither EA nor Cliffhanger have even hinted at a prospective debut date. It’s possible that this particular Marvel game won’t hit shop shelves for a number of years because development is still in its early stages.
Additionally, it is currently unknown in what direction Cliffhanger will take the story. Even the identity of the Black Panther’s wearer is unknown. That much is unclear, but Cliffhanger intends to present an “original” story, according to EA’s press release. As a result, it appears doubtful that a certain comic book arc or movie story will be directly adapted.
Well, Cliffhanger is excited to work with Marvel Games on this amazing project. Together, they will make sure that every part of Wakanda is accurate and carefully thought out.
By infusing the values of diversity, collaboration, and empowerment, Kevin highlighted the rarity of this opportunity to establish a team dedicated to these principles. They aspire to create an exceptional experience befitting the world of Black Panther.
