For Marvel fans lamenting Electronic Arts’ cancellation of the Black Panther videogame previously in development, as well as being concerned about the prospects of other Marvel videogames currently in development, fear not. Despite reports that Electronic Arts previously signaled its intent to move away from developing licensed IP in general, both Electronic Arts and Marvel have reaffirmed their commitment to continuing to develop several other Marvel games.

"Our partnership with Marvel remains strong and our multi-title, long-term collaboration continues," said EA Entertainment president Laura Miele in a statement to IGN. Marvel echoed the sentiment, calling the partnership "a creative collaboration focused on original storytelling with various, beloved Marvel characters."

The cancellation of the Black Panther game appears to be linked to the shutdown of Cliffhanger Games, which was developing a game about the Wakandan King and superhero when it was shut down, amid job losses. With Cliffhanger Games shut down, development of the other Marvel titles will fall to other game studios such as Motive Studio, Skydance, Insomniac, and Arkane Lyon. Other Marvel games currently in development include, most notably, an Iron Man game, as well as Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Blade, Wolverine, and Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls 4v4 tag fighting game.
