New Information Surfaces on Canceled Black Panther Game and Nemesis System

Sure, let’s dive into this. So, there’s this report that’s got me thinking, right? Particularly this bit about a Black Panther game, which, honestly, sounds like it would’ve been a blast. Those Cliffhanger folks—apparently ex-Monolith people, y’know, the ones who did Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor—were working on something juicy. Yeah, they wanted to take the Nemesis System and just, like, blow it up in the best way possible.

Now, if you’ve played those games, the Nemesis System was wild. Enemies with real grudges? Like, they’d get all salty and come after Talion for round two. Maybe they’d run off and, boom, surprise attack you later. Or, if they beat you, they’d probably get promoted. It was brilliant—they felt like actual characters, not just button-mashing fodder.

So, imagine this—this expanded Nemesis deal in some Black Panther universe. According to some Bloomberg piece, we could’ve had T’Challa, Shuri, even Killmonger (you know you love him) all duking it out for the Black Panther title. And they’d be up against Skrulls—those sneaky shape-shifters from the MCU. Captain Marvel, Secret Invasion—yep, those guys.

You gotta admit, Skrulls in the Nemesis System? Sounds like a match made in gaming heaven. The idea that your trusty ally might suddenly pull a 180 and turn Skrull on you? Sheesh. It’s like, hey pal, didn’t I whack you a few scenes back? Surprise, I’m a Skrull leader! Nice try, bud.

But nope, EA’s pulled the plug, and now we’re left with what-could-have-beens. Plus, all those super talented devs? They’re just kind of… stranded, wondering what’s next. Such a shame. Seriously.
