The cast of the game includes:
- Khary Payton as Azzuri/Black Panther (T’Challa’s Grandfather)
- Drew Moerlein as Steve Rogers/Captain America
- Megalyn Echikunwoke as Nanali, a Wakandan Spy
- Marque Richardson as Gabriel Jones, A U.S. Soldier/Howling Commandos Member
- Lyne Renée as Julie, “a key ally in the French Resistance”
- Joel Johnstone as Howard Stark
Additionally, Grammy award-winning artist Stephen Barton (Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Apex Legends, Titanfall, and more) will compose the game’s soundtrack. The game will also be developed entirely in Unreal Engine 5.4, creating a game that will undoubtedly look very impressive.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Marvel Entertainment:
In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Captain America and Azzuri, the Black Panther of the 1940s, must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy. Fighting alongside Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris, they must join forces to stop a sinister plot that threatens to turn the havoc of WWII into the ultimate rise of Hydra.
