Cliffhanger Games’ Black Panther Features Multiple Heroes, African Martial Arts, and Open Exploration According to Leaks

by

It seems that information about Cliffhanger Games’ upcoming Black Panther game has apparently been leaked, suggesting several possible characteristics. The leak suggests that players may have the option to select from various Black Panthers, participate in intense African martial arts combat at close range, and experience a third-person perspective, among other possibilities.

Initially revealed in July 2023, the single-player action-adventure game titled Black Panther from Cliffhanger Games centers around the iconic African superhero of Marvel Comics. Following their initial announcement, there was no further news from Cliffhanger Games until now.

Sharing insights from the recent disclosures by Call of Duty tipster and confidant @TheGhostOfHope (previously known as Twitter), let’s delve into the fresh revelations and offer my perspective on each point.

Multiple Playable Characters

As a gamer, it feels awesome to dive into the world of Black Panther, where I get to choose from various Black Panthers spanning the series’ timeline. There’s talk that characters like T’Challa, M’Baku, Azari, Shuri, and even Killmonger might be playable, each with unique fighting styles to master.

Each character will have distinct weapons, armor, and tools tailored to them. Shuri might be equipped with high-tech weaponry, while M’Baku could lean on physical power and the combat techniques of the Jabari tribe. As for T’Challa, he may carry his usual Black Panther arsenal, which includes his iconic claws and Vibranium suit. However, these are just assumptions for now.

African Martial Arts Combat

The report does not provide specifics regarding the combat system, instead hinting at a plan to emulate genuine African martial arts combined with extraordinary powers and technology.

In a Black Panther game, it’s ideal to have a blend of conventional fight styles with advanced technology from the fictional nation of Wakanda – that’s the kind of experience we’re looking forward to.

One definite aspect of the gameplay involves a third-person, over-the-shoulder viewpoint, much like that seen in games such as God of War from Sony Santa Monica or recent installments of Resident Evil by Capcom. This perspective may enhance the sense of immersion and personal connection during both combat and exploration.

It’s not entirely certain how the game will play out, but it could resemble the style of gameplay found in the Batman Arkham series by Rocksteady, or perhaps echo the more recent God of War games.

Exploration and Story

In this Black Panther video game, the story seems to unfold in a way that’s more interactive and influenced by the player’s decisions and actions. The plot will adapt to these choices, altering missions and character relationships as a result. Since there are multiple playable Black Panthers, it’s logical that players have more control over the gameplay.

Discovering new places is another important aspect of the game, enabling players to wander around cities (perhaps even the advanced cityscape of Wakanda) and traverse African grasslands. Here, players might come across distinctive societies and personalities.

If carried out effectively, this could potentially expand narrative possibilities, similar to what The Witcher III: Wild Hunt accomplished by CD Projekt Red. However, the leak does not clarify whether the game will feature an entirely open world or follow a more structured, linear layout (my guess leans towards a linear design).

The game is still in development, so we’ll unlikely see it anytime soon.

Just as you might doubt any leaked info, consider this one carefully since it’s possible that Cliffhanger Games could be deliberately misleading those who leak information, much like how NetEase handled their Marvel Rivals leaks.
