EA will no longer make the Black Panther game, game studio shut: Report
Electronic Arts has reportedly cancelled Black Panther game, which it has been working on in collaboration with Marvel. Moreover, the American video game publisher has reportedly shut down the game studio Cliffhanger Games, which it had created to develop the game – reported gaming-focused news organisation IGN.
Since its initial reveal in 2023, limited details have emerged about Black Panther game, other than it being a single-player title featuring an original story created in partnership with Marvel Games.
As per the report, in an email sent to staff from EA Entertainment president Laura Miele, she said that these changes, alongside other recent cancellations and layoffs, are being done to "sharpen our focus and put our creative energy behind the most significant growth opportunities."
She added: 'These decisions are hard. They affect people we've worked with, learned from, and shared real moments with. We're doing everything we can to support them — including finding opportunities within EA, where we've had success helping people land in new roles."
EA's partnership with Marvel affected
According to IGN, Marvel and EA's collaboration on Black Panther is part of a broader three-game agreement that also includes Iron Man and an as-yet unannounced title. The partnership is expected to move forward, with Motive Studios taking the lead on upcoming Marvel projects.
In a statement shared with IGN, Miele confirmed: 'Our partnership with Marvel remains strong and our multi-title, long-term collaboration continues.'
Layoffs at EA
The layoffs at EA follow several waves of job cuts and project cancellations in recent years, particularly throughout 2025. Just last month, the company reportedly let go of around 300 employees, including nearly 100 at Respawn, while also scrapping a Titanfall title in development and another incubation project, as reported by IGN.
According to the report, earlier in 2025, EA restructured BioWare, redeploying some staff and laying off others. In 2024, a major company-wide restructuring led to 670 layoffs, including approximately two dozen at Respawn. The previous year, BioWare saw 50 roles eliminated, with additional undisclosed cuts reportedly taking place at Codemasters.

Is Sreeleela getting married? Netizens speculate as actress' haldi pics surface amid Kartik Aaryan dating buzz
Sreeleela has set the internet buzzing after sharing some beautiful photos. Dressed in traditional outfits and glowing with joy, the actress seemed to be celebrating a special ceremony, but fans are wondering, is it her wedding? With haldi smeared on her face, kumkum trays, and a touch of sindoor, the actress looked every bit like a bride-to-be. Sreeleela looks stunning in traditional wear In the pictures shared on Instagram Stories, Sreeleela is seen in a beautiful pastel blue and cream saree. She paired her look with traditional jewellery — jhumkas and a maang tikka — while keeping her makeup minimal. One standout image shows her hugging a woman in a pink outfit, both flashing big smiles. But what truly caught everyone's eye was the red bindi on her forehead and the sindoor-like mark in her maang. In North India, these signs are typically worn by married women, and fans wasted no time pointing it out. In another series of photos, Sreeleela switched into a soft pink outfit. Her cheeks were covered in turmeric as elders lovingly applied more haldi to her face. One particularly touching moment shows a man, possibly a family member, gently rubbing haldi on her cheek while she grins brightly. A tray featuring turmeric, kumkum, and paan leaves made the setting look like a pre-wedding ritual. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Naturally, fans were quick to react The pictures quickly went viral on Reddit and fan pages, sparking lots of guesses about whether Sreeleela is getting married.

Another asked, 'But why is the sindoor in her maang… Unmarried women don't keep it. But some people do during engagement or roka." A third user explained, 'South Indians don't have the same concept of sindoor. Unmarried women put kumkuma in the parting as well."
