You Choose The Protagonist in the Black Panther Game, It’s Claimed

Can’t Wait to see this One

A whole bunch of new info about Cliffhanger Games upcoming Black Panther game may have just leaked online.

The new information about Cliffhanger’s Black Panther game comes from the popular Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope. Their latest post on X (formerly Twitter) provides players with exclusive details on the upcoming game, such as character choice, combat details, POV, exploration, narrative aspects, etc. 

The concept of choosing your protagonist isn’t entirely new in the world of video games, but it’s a rare feature in superhero games. With the success of titles like Spider-Man and Batman: Arkham, which followed a singular protagonist throughout their stories, many players have grown accustomed to playing as one fixed hero. However, in the Black Panther game, this idea is being turned on its head.

By allowing players to choose who takes up the mantle of Black Panther, the game emphasizes the importance of legacy and leadership within the world of Wakanda. Each character brings their own distinct narrative arc, abilities, and ways of interacting with the environment. What’s more, players’ choices will likely influence the outcomes of major plot points, adding an extra layer of depth to the game.

The claim that players will get to choose their protagonist in the Black Panther game opens the door to a multitude of gameplay experiences. Whether you’re drawn to T’Challa’s noble spirit, Shuri’s brilliance, M’Baku’s strength, or even Killmonger’s fiery resolve, the choice is in your hands. This game is shaping up to be a love letter to fans of Black Panther, offering a chance to explore the rich, multifaceted world of Wakanda in ways never before seen.

Here’s hoping that this year is the year we get to have a proper look at the game and for more from 1-Up be sure to check out our coverage on The Nintendo Switch 2.
