Skydance New Media is a video game development studio founded by Skydance Media in November 18, 2019, led by Amy Hennig.[1]
History[edit]
In November 2019, Skydance Media tapped video game director and writer Amy Hennig to establish a new games division within the company.[2][3] In October 2021, the studio announced a planned collaboration with Marvel Entertainment for an action-adventure game.[4] In April 2022, it was announced that Lucasfilm Games would collaborate to make a game based in the Star Wars universe. Some have speculated that the game will be a revival of Project Ragtag, which was also led by Henning.[5][6]
In August 2022, Marvel's parent corporation The Walt Disney Company announced their intentions to showcase a slate of video games based on their IP at the joint Disney & Marvel Games Showcase, which would be taking place in conjunction with the company's annual D23 Expo in person and through broadcast on multiple streaming platforms.[7] Alongside the announcement, Disney stated that the panel would also debut a "sneak peek" at Skydance New Media's Marvel title, which was described as being an "ensemble game".[8][9] During the showcase in September 9, 2022, the Marvel project confirmed prior reports that it would be set during World War II and that Captain America and Azzuri / Black Panther would feature as the main characters in the ensemble, alongside Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos unit and Nanali, leader of the Wakandan Spy Network, while the Hydra organization would serve as the main villains.[10][11][12]
