It's official now at least.

New Marvel Game Starring Captain America and Black Panther From Amy Hennig Announced - IGN

Uncharted director Amy Hennig is tackling the Marvel universe in a new team-up game starring Captain America and Black Panther in World War 2 Paris.

www.ign.com

The teaser implies the game will take place across two locations, likely Paris and Wakanda, and star four heroes. While two of them will be Captain America and Black Panther, we also get a look at Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones and Nanali, the leader of the Wakandan Spy Network.

 

[Kuranghi]

But does it feature T'challa's grandfather?

 

[LordCBH]

What was the point of that teaser? They couldn’t even drop a name for it. This thing is years away at best.

 

[Woopah]

What was the point in announcing this? I know next to nothing about the game.

 

[SlimySnake]

Release Date October 20th, 2059.

 

[AlteredForms]

Amy Hennig moved on from Uncharted eh?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

“Capture the Stronghold. 100XP”

 

[YukiOnna]

But does it feature T'challa's grandfather?

Yes.

 

[LegendOfKage]

So four player co-op action game? That could be fun. Or maybe no co-op and it'll still be fun.

[edit] "At different parts in the story." Okay, so I guess no co-op it is.

 

[Represent.]

most pointless trailer of all time. This industry just keeps on impressing me.

 

[tmlDan]

Do they know they can't do what Insomniac does and release a CG trailer only? They have no pedigree at all even with Amy. Fucking buffoons.

watch it look like ass when its actually shown

I hope that won't be the case, but yeah, CG announcement trailers with no gameplay are lame.

Trailer wasn't CG. But in-engine.

 

[tmlDan]

Trailer wasn't CG. But in-engine.

Do i play in-engine games? idgaf if its in engine its not gameplay.

 

[Yoboman]

4 player co op with multiple heros makes me instantly disinterested. Marvel really needs to simplify things and just make singular hero games

Everything they are making is some lame cross over or team up and yet Wolverine and Spiderman will outsell them all.

Id be much more interested in a focused Captain America, Black Panther or Iron Man done right

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

4 player co op with multiple heros makes me instantly disinterested.

Where's the 4 player coop?

 

[coffinbirth]

PASS.

 

[Yoboman]

Where's the 4 player coop?

That's my guess based on the character line up they showed

 

[YukiOnna]

 

[Sleepwalker]

Yawn. more superhero games

 

[Fbh]

The setting sounds interesting, and I'd be nice if Amy actually released a new game for once. But I'll have to see way more.

Also who wants to play as two randos instead of Captain America and Black Panther? I hope they aren't like the terrible MJ and Miles sequences in Spiderman ps4.

 

[SSfox]

Wait do people really excepted to see Sony 1st party quality alike here?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

That's my guess based on the character line up they showed

Next time don't guess, read.

 

[Begleiter]

It seems really stupid to encourage people to wonder why Wakanda didn't stop the Holocaust.

 

[Flabagast]

Awful. Will never play it.

 

[Yoboman]

Next time don't guess, read.

Read what? They've given zero details, just an image indicating all 4 characters of equal status. Looks like the exact sort of framing on coop games

Could be purely single player with 4 characters, but still has the same issue I was talking about

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Read what?

The thread.

 

[YukiOnna]

Does not sound like a co-op.

 

[Imtjnotu]

But does it feature T'challa's grandfather?

Yes it does

 

[El Pistolero]

Excited about this one, not gonna lie!

 

[Imtjnotu]

Amy seemed passionate about it but I'm hoping for a good game.

 

[Iced Arcade]

oh I'm down for this

 

[dugdug]

Awful. Will never play it.

It’s Amy Hennig, so, you probably won’t get a chance, even if you wanted to.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Years away?

 

[Nautilus]

Seems like a weird mashup. Would honestly have prefered if it was only Captain America, or only Black Phanter.

But I'll reserve my judgement

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Betting the soldier is Wolverine.

 

[PlayedStation]

Betting the soldier is Wolverine.

It's not.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Betting the soldier is Wolverine.

Unless they are pulling an Infinity War with fake stuff the soldier is Gabriel Jones and the spy is Nanali.

 

[Bernd Lauert]

 

[Banjo64]

(Not including Spider-Man/Wolverine)

All of these Marvel tie ins should have been released around the time of end game or before.

Feels to me that they’ve missed the boat massively.

 

[Doom85]

Unless they are pulling an Infinity War with fake stuff the soldier is Gabriel Jones and the spy is Nanali.

I could see them keeping his inclusion under wraps as either a later reveal to keep hype up prior to release. But at the same time, maybe the powers in charge didn’t let them use Wolverine since he’s getting his own game soon? I know that sounds bizarre, but similar baffling decisions have happened before: https://dcau.fandom.com/wiki/Bat-embargo (though I agree with Bruce Timm, I think it was nice that the Justice League cartoon could focus on other villains)

 

[Mister Wolf]

Definitely something I would play.

 

[Salz01]

I think Amy is great, but this just seems disjointed. Either make a Black Panther game or make a Captain America game. This just seems like a hodgepodge of ideas and characters.

 

[ElCasual]

The Wokenders.

 

[Xenon]

So, 80s buddy cop game.

 

[Cock of War]

How could they have a Captain America WW2 set game and not include Wolverine? Come on guys, Im not joking, get real.

Who the fudge is Gabriel Jones? What about Bucky?

(Edit: Apparently Gabriel Jones is a paintball range director)

 

[Hugare]

Can't think of a more boring premisse than this

Both Captain America and BP are meh superheroes, and they are teaming up with "*check notes* ... Gabriel Jones and ... Nanali?

Make a game about one character so you can develop his story and moveset (Spider-man, Wolverine, upcoming Woderwoman game etc.). Seems unfocused.

But I hope the best for Amy Hennig, she havent launched a game for more than a decade now. Bad luck all the time.

Skydance New Media and Marvel Entertainment’s upcoming narrative-driven, ensemble adventure game set in the Marvel Universe, which marks the first initiative from the new AAA game studio, features an original story that will take players on a World War II-era adventure with four playable heroes at different points in the story:

You can be as serious as you want. Those are the four playable characters as per Skydance media. Better move to the acceptance stage right now.

Why is Wolverine not in the game? I don't know. I don't know the story of the game. The story might not call for it.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Edit - Apparently something happening 20 years ago, makes the wokeness of this okay. My bad…carry on, I’ll see myself out.
