The Marvel project from Uncharted director Amy Hennig’s new studio Skydance New Media has finally been revealed.

The first look trailer was shown at yesterday’s (September 9) Disney and Marvel Games Showcase with the untitled project set to feature both Black Panther and Captain America.

The game will be set during World War 2 and the action looks set to be split between Europe and Wakanda. The “narrative-driven, ensemble adventure” will have players controlling an ensemble of four characters including a young Steve Rogers, aka Captain America and Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther. Rounding out the team are Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos and Nanali, leader of the fledgling Wakandan Spy Network.
