Electronic Arts announced a Black Panther video game nearly two years before this cancellation. Cliffhanger Games planned to create a single-player action-adventure starring the Marvel superhero. The development team worked on third-person gameplay mechanics for the project. EA executives decided to cancel the entire game and close Cliffhanger Studios completely. This decision follows other recent job cuts at the gaming company.

IGN reported that EA eliminated between 300 and 400 developer positions last month. The company also stopped an experimental project at Respawn Entertainment during these cuts. Mobile game teams and central office workers lost their jobs during this reduction. EA President Laura Miele sent emails calling these decisions "difficult but necessary choices." She explained the company wants to focus creative energy on profitable growth opportunities.

Miele promised to help laid-off workers find new positions within Electronic Arts when possible. The entertainment division will concentrate future efforts on four main game series. The Sims, Skate, Battlefield, and Apex Legends remain priority projects for the company. Respawn continues developing the third Star Wars Jedi game despite other cancellations. Motive Studio keeps working on its Iron Man game even after these recent changes.
