Captain America and Black Panther join forces in a new 4 player co-op game
It was hoped that we would get details on the new Marvel game coming from Skydance New Media and that turns out to be true, with the reveal of the first teaser trailer for it and details, yet strangely no name.
Details are scarce, but this is what we know so far. The game is described as a narrative-driven, ensemble adventure that takes place during World War 2, with four playable characters.
“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,” said Hennig, President, Skydance New Media. “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.”
“Our D23 Expo reveal is only the beginning of the action-packed adventure awaiting Marvel fans,” said Bill Rosemann, Vice President and Creative Director, Marvel Games. “Amy and the Skydance New Media team have a deep love and respect for our characters, have poured themselves into the core comic book inspiration, and will harness their incredible storytelling skills to craft an all-new, thrilling narrative experience. Stay tuned over the next months as we’ll share additional looks at our four heroes, two worlds, and one war.”
Captains America aka Steve Rogers, Black Panther aka Azzuri, he is T’Challa’s grandfather, Gabriel Jones a US Soldier and Nanali, the leader of the fledgling Wakandan spy network.
When asked about the game during a panel discussion at D23, after its reveal, game director Amy Hennig had this to say.
“If you have played my previous games, you are not going to be far off the mark, as a gamer and a creator, I love playing in the action-adventure space and if you are familiar with my work, you are going to be familiar with the DNA, but we are doing some different stuff.”
She went on to describe the game as story and character driven and that the games visuals are best in class. It was also revealed that they are doing what they can, to bring in new gamers to the genre, whilst keeping everything feeling cinematic.
If you are not familiar with the past games that she has worked on, Amy Hennig was the creator of the Uncharted series for PlayStation.
There is no date for this game, which given it has no name, makes sense, but there are also no platforms, so it is potentially a ways off.
