Jeff Grubb also talked about how EA may be targeting their widely successful game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as a reference. Moreover, Kevin Stephens had led Monolith Games during the studio’s prime! His experience will definitely help the upcoming Black Panther game’s execution.

According to Grubb, the player will assume the role of Black Panther, following his death. The idea is to let the player face all the challenges that T’Challa overcame before receiving the title.

As Jeff Grub further revealed, the game will be single-player and will feature an open world. If EA manages to execute this experience well, the upcoming game may easily turn out to be one of its most successful titles!
