Electronic Arts has cancelled the Black Panther video game that had been announced in 2023 and shutdown the studio behind it, Cliffhanger Games. EA is making other layoffs across other team though specifics are unknown at the time.
The cancellation was announced to employees through an email sent by EA Entertainment and Technology president Laura Miele, according to the report.
The reason given is that Electronic Arts will focus more on other games where they think they have the “most significant growth opportunities.” That means expect more Battlefield, The Sims, Star Wars, Mass Effect, and Apex Legends. Interestingly, EA will continue to work on the Iron Man game that was announced in 2022.
This continues mass layoffs that have hit the video game industry this year. EA laid off between 300 and 400 employees cancelling other projects less than a month ago as just three months after it made significant cuts to BioWare.
With MOON KNIGHT defeated and the Maker’s Council forced to regroup, T’Challa must learn the secrets of vibranium – because his very life and soul are at risk! The SORCERER SUPREME can help understand the truth of the terrifying element that built Wakanda, but her aid comes with a price…

Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet
As esteemed author and journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates brings his considerable talents to Marvel, will he usher in a new age of glory for Wakanda and its king, T’Challa, A.K.A. the Black Panther? Or will he enter the proud kingdom into its final days? The high-tech African nation has been ravaged by outside forces, its queen has fallen and the people have turned against their king. As dissidents seek violent change, two of T’Challa’s own Dora Milaje forge their own brave path. And while outside forces pour fuel on the fire, the Black Panther recruits his own crew to aid in the struggle.
Meanwhile, on the spiritual plane, a journey of transformation begins. This is a story of a king who must find a new way to lead. Of a queen whose tale is not yet fully told. Of angels fighting for change and devils fomenting chaos. Of allies and enemies, friends and foes, love and hate. This is the story of Wakanda.

His suspected identity? Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s one-time partner, thought to have been murdered in the closing days of World War II.
Now the Winter Soldier is back, working under the command of the ruthless General Lukin — who has obtained a functional Cosmic Cube, a weapon of limitless power that can bend reality itself. Vowing to end Lukin’s reign of terror and destruction, Captain America relentlessly tracks the Cube — only to find himself face-to-face with the Winter Soldier. Will Cap be forced to battle his resurrected partner so soon after finally learning the astonishing truth?
