Skydance New Media shared the first look at their upcoming Marvel game that will center on Captain America and Black Panther.
During the Disney and Marvel Showcase at D23 on Friday, Skydance New Media confirmed what their Marvel project will focus on. The upcoming narrative-driven game comes from Uncharted creator Amy Hennig, who recently formed Skydance New Media after departing EA. Skydance is also developing a new Star Wars game, which is rumored to be a revival of the axed Project Ragtag.
