About Cliffhanger Games
Cliffhanger Games is a new AAA development studio based in Seattle, Washington, working on an original, third-person, single-player Black Panther game in collaboration with Marvel Games. The studio is part of Electronic Arts (EA Entertainment) and was formed to specialize in player-driven narratives and expansive, reactive worlds.
Led by Studio Head Kevin Stephens (formerly of Monolith Productions), Cliffhanger has assembled a team of accomplished talent with leaders from critically acclaimed action-adventure games like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, along with veterans from top franchises including Halo Infinite, God of War, and Call of Duty.
The studio's core mission is to build an expansive and reactive world that empowers players to experience what it is like to take on the mantle of Wakanda's protector, the Black Panther. Their focus is on AAA action-adventure development, player-driven narratives, and creating expansive reactive worlds.
