Here’s the first look at Uncharted director’s Captain America / Black Panther game

Uncharted 1 – 3 director Amy Hennig’s company Skydance New Media has officially unveiled its Marvel game, which stars both Captain America and Black Panther.

Officially revealed during a Disney games showcase on Friday, a teaser trailer for the title – which does not yet have an official name – featured both Marvel heroes in a World War 2 setting.

According to Skydance, the “narrative-driven, ensemble adventure” will have players controlling an ensemble of four characters: a young Steve Rogers, aka Captain America; Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther; Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, leader of the fledgling Wakandan Spy Network.

“Players can look forward to intuitive controls and exhilarating second-to-second gameplay that captures the action and excitement of Marvel, inspired by landmark comics, television, and films, as they navigate this all-new globe-trotting adventure,” the studio said.

Hennig said in a statement: “We’re so grateful for all the enthusiasm and support we’ve received from fans, and we’re thrilled to finally unveil a first glimpse of the game during this year’s D23 Expo.

“Marvel has been an incredible partner throughout the creative process as we develop an original story and build an exciting new team of characters. We hope fans are intrigued by this sneak peek, and we’re excited to share more down the road.”

Bill Rosemann, VP and Creative Director of Marvel Games, added: “Our D23 Expo reveal is only the beginning of the action-packed adventure awaiting Marvel fans.

“Amy and the Skydance New Media team have a deep love and respect for our characters, have poured themselves into the core comic book inspiration, and will harness their incredible storytelling skills to craft an all-new, thrilling narrative experience.

“Stay tuned over the next months as we’ll share additional looks at our four heroes, two worlds, and one war.”

The game is the first title from Skydance New Media, a studio formed in 2019 by Hollywood production company Skydance.

Announced last October, the title is billed as “a narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game, featuring a completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe”.

“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said studio president Hennig, who previously spent a decade at Naughty Dog, where she was the creative director and lead writer of Sony’s Uncharted series.

“The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience.

“It’s an honor to be able to tell an original story with all the humanity, complexity, and humor that makes Marvel characters so enduring and to enable our players to embody these heroes that they love.”
