The untitled Captain America / Black Panther video game is an upcoming action-adventure game developed and published by Skydance New Media. The first game developed and published by the studio, it is based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Captain America and Black Panther, set against an original narrative that derives from the long-running comic book mythology and various adaptations in other media. The story will take place across Paris, France and the nation of Wakanda during the height of World War II, with the organization Hydra appearing as the main antagonistic force.

The game was jointly announced by Skydance and Marvel Games in October 2021 alongside the involvement of studio heads Amy Hennig and Julian Beak as producers, with television and comics writer Marc Bernardin confirmed as writing the game alongside Hennig the following month. The game was officially teased in September 2022.

Gameplay

The game will be a action-adventure game where players will control an ensemble of four characters. In addition to the main protagonists Steve Rogers / Captain America and Azzuri / Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones and Nanali, the leader of the Wakandan Spy Network, will also be playable.

Development

In November 2019, Skydance Media tapped video game director and writer Amy Hennig to establish a new games division within the company, with Hennig citing the need for this studio to cater to both gamers and non-gamers "on both traditional and emerging streaming platforms with new story-focused experiences". Skydance Media CEO David Ellison would speak on the decision to hire Hennig and former Electronic Arts producer Julian Beak as creatives for the company's games division, stating that "The interactive media landscape is continually changing and Amy and Julian are creative and visionary leaders of this evolution". He would affirm that Skydance would collaborate with Hennig and Beak to "create within this new sphere the same type of event-level entertainment experiences that [Skydance] is known for in features and television".

In October 2021, the games division, now fully unveiled as Skydance New Media, would announce that the studio's first major project would be a "a narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game" developed in collaboration with Marvel Games, and featuring "a completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe". Amy Hennig would comment on developing a Marvel-based title as the studio's first game, proclaiming that "The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience". Skydance would exclaim in the accompanying press statement that a "crew of developers with decades of AAA experience in action and adventure gaming, as well as a diverse team of creative consultants from the worlds of film, television, and comics", had been assembled to develop the title. In a joint press release issued by Marvel, Executive Vice President and Head of Marvel Games, Jay Ong would express excitement towards the prospect of collaborating with Amy Hennig on a project featuring the company's characters, citing how “Amy has been setting the bar for narrative adventure games for decades and we are happy to be collaborating with the talented and experienced New Media team at Skydance. He would later insinuate that more details about the game would be unveiled "when the time is right". The following month, Marvel Comics writer and television producer Marc Bernardin revealed that he was involved as a writer for the game during the Fatman Beyond podcast co-hosted by Kevin Smith, confirming that he had "spent the better part of a year in the story mines" creating the game's narrative.

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. 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".

The game was officially teased during the showcase on September 9, 2022. Preliminary details on the 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. An actress is confirmed to have a role in the game.
