Black Panther and Captain America team-up being developed by Amy Hennig’s new studio

The Marvel project from Uncharted director Amy Hennig’s new studio Skydance New Media has finally been revealed.

The first look trailer was shown at yesterday’s (September 9) Disney and Marvel Games Showcase with the untitled project set to feature both Black Panther and Captain America.

The game will be set during World War 2 and the action looks set to be split between Europe and Wakanda. The “narrative-driven, ensemble adventure” will have players controlling an ensemble of four characters including a young Steve Rogers, aka Captain America and Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther. Rounding out the team are Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos and Nanali, leader of the fledgling Wakandan Spy Network.

According to Skydance, “Players can look forward to intuitive controls and exhilarating second-to-second gameplay that captures the action and excitement of Marvel, inspired by landmark comics, television, and films, as they navigate this all-new globe-trotting adventure.”

In a statement, Hennig said: “We’re so grateful for all the enthusiasm and support we’ve received from fans, and we’re thrilled to finally unveil a first glimpse of the game during this year’s D23 Expo.

“Marvel has been an incredible partner throughout the creative process as we develop an original story and build an exciting new team of characters. We hope fans are intrigued by this sneak peek, and we’re excited to share more down the road,” she added.
