During today’s D23 event, Amy Hennig’s Skydance New Media and Marvel showed off a teaser announcement trailer for a new “AAA project” set in the Golden Age Marvel universe. The game will star Captain America, Black Panther, a member of the Wakandan spy network and a US soldier in an ensemble narrative action-adventure that will have players swap characters as the story progresses.

From Skydance:

Skydance New Media and Marvel Entertainment’s upcoming narrative-driven, ensemble adventure game set in the Marvel Universe, which marks the first initiative from the new AAA game studio, features an original story that will take players on a World War II-era adventure with four playable heroes at different points in the story:

  • A young Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America
  • Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the World War II-era Black Panther
  • Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos
  • Nanali, leader of the fledgling Wakandan Spy Network

Players can look forward to intuitive controls and exhilarating second-to-second gameplay that captures the action and excitement of Marvel, inspired by landmark comics, television, and films, as they navigate this all-new globe-trotting adventure.

Hennig is perhaps best known for her time at Naughty Dog developing Uncharted, so if there is even a hint of that quality here then we’re going to be in very good shape.

There’s no release date yet, nor is there a platform, gameplay, or even a name — so, uh, enjoy the teaser for this, whatever it is, and hope that we find out more sooner than later.
