A video game based on Marvel's "Black Panther" has been scrapped at Electronic Arts as part of the closure of Cliffhanger Games and layoffs.

When a big-time video game gets cancelled, expect Jason Schreier at Bloomberg to get the details quick, sharp, and in a hurry. This week EA announced it would cancel its Black Panther game, one of three the publisher has in development for Marvel Games.

For context, earlier this week, EA pulled the plug on its Black Panther game and shut down developer Cliffhanger Games entirely. And after last year's comments from EA CEO Andrew Wilson about "moving away from development of future licensed IP," some theorized that the publisher's three-game deal with Marvel might have changed.
