Oh man, where do I even start with this? So there’s this report, right? And it’s got me absolutely hooked, especially this part about the Black Panther game and how it was supposed to do something cool with the Nemesis System. Apparently, these folks from Cliffhanger—who used to work at Monolith Productions—were cooking up something amazing. You know Monolith, right? The geniuses behind Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Anyway, these guys wanted to take the Nemesis System to a whole new level. Sounds wild, yeah?
Now, Monolith’s Nemesis System, it’s pretty genius. You’ve got these enemies that are randomly generated, and each one’s got its own personality or, like, this big grudge against Talion, the main character. And sometimes they’d run away, only to pop up again later—suddenly stronger or something. Maybe they beat him, and next time they’re all, “Wait, you again?” Some of them even got promoted to higher ranks. It gave them a bit of personality, made the whole game feel less like you’re just mowing down some no-name bad guys.
But in this Cliffhanger version for the Black Panther game? Oh boy! Imagine the possibilities. Based on what Bloomberg was saying, there’d be all these heroes—like T’Challa and Shuri—each trying to be the next Black Panther. And, oh, my favorite, Killmonger too. They were all gearing up to fight off these Skrulls, those sneaky, shape-shifting aliens you might remember from Captain Marvel or Secret Invasion comics. That’d be such a cool twist, don’t you think?
And I mean, Skrulls with the Nemesis System? Just imagine this—your buddy in the game suddenly turns on you! Bam! Turns out, they’re a Skrull all along. It’s like a whole new twist added to an already awesome gaming feature. That’s gotta be wild, right?
But here’s the kicker—or the tragedy, really. Thanks to some kinda hiccup at EA or whatever, this dream project is just… poof, gone. And the talented folks who were working on it? Now they’re just left in the lurch, probably scratching their heads about what to do next. Ain’t that a kick in the teeth?
