EA cancels Black Panther game and closes studio developing it


EA has reportedly cancelled its Black Panther game and is shutting down the studio that was working on it. At least one other Marvel project at the publisher remains unaffected.

EA is reportedly telling staff that the layoffs are a way to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities." Beyond that, the company has EA Sports and the next Mass Effect game, though Bioware has gone through multiple roundsof layoffs since 2023, so there's uncertainty there, too. In a similar way to how it approached Bioware's restructuring, IGN reports that EA is trying to find roles for at least some Cliffhanger Games staff in other parts of the company.
