Amy Hennig’s untitled Black Panther Captain America game will be uncooperative

Amy Hennig’s untitled Marvel game is described as a team-up between Captain America and Wakanda heroes, led by Black Panther. But if you’re thinking of teaming up with a friend to fight the Nazis, you’ll have to choose another game because this title won’t be cooperative.

When IGN asked Hennig in an interview for the untitled Marvel game if this was a co-op title, the director replied, “Narratively yes, mechanically no.”

While the title will indeed see Captain America and Black Panther (Azzuri, T’challa’s grandfather), in terms of gameplay, don’t expect to team up with your friend locally or online.

“Partly on purpose, partly by serendipity, what we experienced with Uncharted was that it was a shared living room experience for the people playing our game…even when their hand wasn’t on the controller,” Hennig replied. The goal of this title is to capture the same kind of shared living room experience, even when players aren’t actively playing together.

Given that details remain scant, we know the untitled Marvel game will focus on four characters, Captain America, Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabe Jones, and a Dora Milaje warrior.
