It’s funny how some reports just pull you in, right? Like this one—totally worth a look, especially the bit about the Black Panther game and that Nemesis System. So, these folks at Cliffhanger—picture them, a bunch of ex-Monolith Productions devs—yeah, the ones behind Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel. Apparently, they were brewing up something even wilder than before. Imagine that.
The Nemesis System—oh man, what a trip. You had these bad guys with grudges against Talion, the hero, never letting things go. Like, some would bail from a fight only to come back, beefed up and ready for round two. And the surprise on some who actually took Talion down? Priceless. They’d climb the Uruk ranks too. Made them feel more like real foes than your typical game baddies, you know?
Flipping that into a Black Panther game sounds like it would’ve been a blast. According to Bloomberg, you’d have heroes like T’Challa, Shuri, and the always-entertaining Killmonger. And they wouldn’t just be kicking it in Wakanda, oh no, they’d be up against Skrulls. These shape-shifting aliens could disguise themselves as your buddies. Imagine the tension, right? You’re about to take down a boss, and boom—your ally is actually a Skrull you’ve tangled with before. Mind-blowing.
But, nope—EA decides to pull the plug. Why? Who knows. Now we miss out on this amped-up Nemesis System, and those talented devs? Yeah, they’re left wondering what’s next on the horizon for them. It’s just…wild.
