Electronic Arts has officially unveiled a new internal studio. Called Cliffhanger Games
It has already been formed and is based in Seattle. It is headed by Kevin Stephens, who has worked for more than eighteen years (including in leadership positions) at Monolith Productions. The studio’s first game will be a single third-person action game about the Marvel character Black Panther.
The opening of the studio headed by the former top manager of Monolith became known in May 2021. However, at that time, apparently, it had neither a name nor employees. It was only reported that she would create an action adventure in the open world.
Later, in July 2022, there was a rumor that Stevens, with the participation of other Monolith natives responsible for Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, was working in the studio on a game about Black Panther.
Thus, the announcement of Electronic Arts can hardly be called a surprise. On the contrary, it confirms the news and rumors that were previously associated with the new studio and its debut project.
By the way, in a press release released today, July 10, Electronic Arts reports that the development team includes not only specialists who worked on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, but also on such titles and series as Halo Infinite, God of War and Call of Duty.
