    D23: Skydance Media’s WW2 Marvel Game May Be Single Player After All

    The first-ever Disney and Marvel Games Showcase has gone by in what seems like a flash with a few interesting reveals. Among them was the confirmation that Skydance Media is definitely working on a Captain America and Black Panther-focused game. Some became a bit curious about the mention of four heroes, as a soldier and member of the Dora Milaje are joining Captain America and that era’s Black Panther given its WW2 focus.

    It made some think it might be a multiplayer game but the D23 expo continued with the developers offering some insight into he game and it turns out, it’s actual a “character-driven action adventure game” which opens up to this being a single-player game after all as shared by Andrew Reiner from the event. So we may actually switch between these four characters throughout the storyline to explore World War 2 from these different perspectives.

    Skydance New Media Working on an Action-Adventure ‘Star Wars’ Game

    It looks like Skydance is going to be quite busy, as the studio that was founded in 2019 by Amy Hennig, one of the masterminds behind the Uncharted series, is now seemingly also working on a new Star Wars project. It’s not the first time she was involved with a game from that franchise, such as Visceral Games’ sadly canceled project some time ago. Now, she’s involved with a “richly cinematic action-adventure game” with a promising original story. Hennig gave the following statement on working on a game that takes place in a franchise she grew up with.

    I’ve often described how seeing Star Wars in 1977 essentially rewired my 12-year-old brain, shaping my creative life and future indelibly. I’m elated to be working with Lucasfilm Games again to tell interactive stories in this galaxy that I love.

    We’re still waiting for an update on their Marvel game, but there have been hints that the studio has been fully on board to rival other AAA studios. We did get the hint that Marc Bernardin is one of the writers for the Marvel game, and it’s unsure how early in development the Star Wars project might be at this point. So, we might have to wait a while before we get any update on what exactly the project entails. Still, it’s always exciting to see these projects start development, and here’s hoping that we get some hints in the near future.
