Leaked Concept Art Reveals What the Cancelled ‘Black Panther’ Game Could Have Been
A bunch of concept art and some story details from the cancelled Black Panther game have apparently leaked online, giving fans a glimpse of what could have been. The leak came from an EA survey that was supposed to be confidential, but a user on X named notfunEman shared what they saw.
According to the post, players would have stepped into the shoes of Azari, the son of T’Challa. But he wasn’t the only character you could play as, there were going to be more. The user described a scene they saw during the survey, which kicked off with Azari taking on T’Challa in a ritual-style fight, something that felt very familiar to scenes from the Black Panther movies.
Those who participated in a survey were shown a scene where T'challa's son Azari (one of multiple playable characters) was fighting T'challa in ritual combat in a scene VERY similar to the film.

It was interrupted by a Skrull ship coming down and T'challa being taken. https://t.co/lNllhiu4VI pic.twitter.com/Zr55lvO3BL
The fight gets interrupted when a Skrull ship suddenly crashes in and kidnaps T’Challa. That’s where the scene cuts off.
The concept art gives more hints about the game’s direction. Some of the early images include rough sketches of Azari, Skrulls, and Wakandans. Later images show a more polished view, with Black Panther looking at a holographic world map and a high-tech Wakandan city.
The third batch of concept art shows different areas of Wakanda. There’s what seems like the snowy mountains of the Jabari Tribe, a city, some ruins, and a jet flying over a desert. The world looked big, detailed, and full of potential.
