In this video from Skill Up, we delve into the dramatic cancellation of the Black Panther game by EA, resulting in layoffs and the closure of Cliffhanger Studios. This move raises questions about financial motives and the challenges of creating profitable superhero video games. EA shifts focus to franchises like Battlefield and Apex Legends, leaving fans disappointed about the lost opportunity for a Black Panther game. Meanwhile, Bungie faces a plagiarism scandal affecting the marketing and potential delay of Marathon, sparking speculation about the future of the game.
Sony's surprising decision to discount the PS5 and PS5 Pro in various regions, except Japan and Australia, shakes up the console market. This move, amidst price hikes in other regions, hints at a strategic shift by Sony as they compete with Microsoft and the upcoming Switch 2 launch. The success of Game Pass raises concerns about its impact on game sales, with examples like Clear Obscur and Doom: The Dark Ages showcasing differing outcomes. The industry grapples with the implications of subscription services on traditional game sales models, prompting reflection on sustainability and profitability in the gaming landscape.
