Black Panther and Captain America team up in exciting new Marvel project
A teaser for an upcoming World War 2 set game was unveiled at the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase.
Yesterday's D23 Expo was jam-packed with new Disney announcements – and one of the most exciting for Marvel fans was undoubtedly the news of a project that will see Black Panther and Captain America join forces for a new game.
A new project from Skydance New Media – the studio created by Uncharted creative director Amy Hennig – had long been teased, but little had been given away until yesterday, when a first-look trailer was revealed at the Disney and Marvel Games Showcase.

While many details about the project are still under wraps – and it is still untitled – we now know that the game will be set during World War 2, and it appears gameplay will take place in both Wakanda and Europe.
Players will be able to play as four characters, including a young Steve Rogers and Azzuri – the World War Two era Black Panther and T’Challa’s grandfather.
The other two playable characters are American soldier Gabriel Jones, who is part of the Howling Commandos, and Wakandan Spy leader Nanali.
