EA has reportedly cancelled its single-player Black Panther game and closed the studio behind it, resulting in an unspecified number of layoffs. EA Entertainment president Laura Miele shared the news in an email to staff seen by IGN, insisting today's Black Panther cancellation, the closure of Cliffhanger Games, and the resulting job losses - as well the recent cancellation of other projects, including an unannounced Titanfall game at Respawn - would help the publisher "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities." EA declined to comment on the number of employees impacted by its latest round of layoffs when approached by IGN (these will reportedly also affect members of the publisher's mobile and central divisions), but the website says it understands fewer individuals will be affected compared to the 300 job cuts recently made across Respawn and several other teams.
