EA Cancels Black Panther Game and Closes Cliffhanger Studios

Electronic Arts has canceled its Black Panther game and shut down developer Cliffhanger Games as part of a strategic shift to focus on other successful franchises like Battlefield, The Sims, Skate, and Apex Legends. The Black Panther project, announced in 2023 and developed by Cliffhanger Games, was intended to be an original third-person single-player experience set in Wakanda. EA's decision affects staff and reflects broader changes within the company's gaming portfolio, including layoffs and project cancellations.
