Amy Hennig’s Marvel game reportedly stars Captain America and Black Panther

Amy Hennig’s Marvel game will reportedly star Captain America and Black Panther in a World War 2 setting.

According to Marvel-focused Twitter account MCU Status, the game will see the duo facing off against the forces of Hydra.

Eurogamer has since reported that it understands these details to be correct.

The game, which is scheduled to be revealed during a Disney and Marvel showcase today, is the first title from Skydance New Media, a studio formed in 2019 by Hollywood production company Skydance.

Announced last October, the title is billed as “a narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game, featuring a completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe”.

“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said studio president Hennig, who previously spent a decade at Naughty Dog, where she was the creative director and lead writer of Sony’s Uncharted series.

“The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience.

“It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”
