Unreal Engine 5, Open World and Unique Dialogue System: Job Listing Cliffhanger Games Reveals More Details Black Panther – future game in the Marvel universe

On July 10, Electronic Arts announced that a game in the Marvel universe about Black Panther is currently being developed. Then

There were very few details, but eXpute found interesting information among the job listings of Cliffhanger Games, which may shed light on some aspects of the future game.

What is known

The first thing that was noticed in the job postingsenior game designer: the game will be in the open world. Given that most of the latest superhero games are open world, Black Panther will continue this trend.

Also in the vacancy of a senior software engineer for tools and systems, it is indicated that the game is being developed on the Unreal Engine 5 game engine.

And now the fun part.The job posting for a Gameplay Engineer mentions that it is to be an action RPG with a unique dialogue system. If you remember the previous Marvel games, for example Marvel's Spider-Man or Guardians of the Galaxy, they were not even close to role-playing games, and players could not influence the world or characters with their actions. Therefore (theoretically) Black Panther should have its own characteristics.

Here we need to clarify one important detail –The game is being developed by Cliffhanger Games, headed by Kevin Stephens, who once worked at Monolith Studios. This studio is known for the games Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. These games are also RPGs and they had a Nemesis system that worked like this: when you face an enemy and they defeat you, they can rank up and become stronger. And if you defeat him, you can influence his fate by killing him or pardoning him. If you do not kill him, then the enemy may remember this act of mercy and even become your ally in the future.
