Cliffhanger's Black Panther game reportedly would have built upon the famously patented Nemesis System

Summary
Cliffhanger Games, the developer behind the cancelled video game Marvel’s Black Panther, was closed by its parent company Electronic Arts (EA).
EA cited the game’s slow development, high staffing costs, and a general feeling it was not meeting expectations despite four years of development as the reasons for its cancellation.
Despite the game’s apparent advances through EA’s executive ‘gate’ process, the shock decision to cancel the game came just weeks after the studio had started a major recruiting drive to bolster its staff.
Sources claim that EA executives were particularly frustrated that the game was still in pre-production after four years of development.
The game’s working title was said to be an evolution of Monolith’s ‘Nemesis’ system, which would have allowed players to play as and compete several characters.
