EAs Black Panther Game Would Have Had An Evolved Nemesis System Report Says

EA confirmed this week that it had canceled its upcoming Black Panther game and closed its developer, Cliffhanger Games. A new report provides more context and background as to the situation surrounding the game's cancellation and what the game was aiming to be.

Bloomberg reported that the Black Panther game recently passed a development milestone, and the project was gaining momentum. However, sources said EA executives were upset that the game was still in pre-production after almost four years of work. After a portfolio review from EA management, the company reportedly chose to axe games in development for an extended period of time without making sufficient progress, and this included Black Panther.

Also canceled in this process were multiple titles at Apex Legends and Titanfall studio Respawn, including a new Titanfall game, according to previous reporting.
