Sure thing, here it is:

So there’s this report, right? Definitely worth a look. What really jumped out at me was the part about the Black Panther game and its twist on the Nemesis System. Cliffhanger, this group of ex-Monolith devs, was involved. You remember Monolith, yeah? They gifted us Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and that follow-up, Shadow of War. Cool games, those. Anyway, Cliffhanger was cooking something new, kinda like a 2.0 version of the Nemesis System.
Ah, the Nemesis System. If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’d know it invented these enemies with serious personalities. Traits? Sure. Grudges? Oh yeah, especially against Talion, the main dude. Some of these foes were sneaky, disappearing only to come back beefed up and ready to wreck your day. If you lost? Totally awkward, ’cause you’d be fighting them again later. And they got promotions! Like, you’d see a guy who once ran from you now barking orders. Not just your typical cannon fodder.
So, imagine the fun with an expanded version for the Black Panther game. According to Bloomberg—or was it a random tweet?—there’d be “various playable heroes” all gunning for that Black Panther seat. T’Challa, Shuri, even the always memorable Killmonger. The twist? Skrulls. Those shape-shifting troublemakers from the MCU, like in Captain Marvel. They add this crazy curveball. Friend or foe? Who knows until they VIP attack you outta nowhere.
Picture it: a buddy suddenly flipping the script, revealing they’re a Skrull. Total mind-bender. And now—thanks EA?—we’re not getting this Nemesis upgrade. And the brains behind it? They’re in a who’s-hiring limbo, while we dream of what might’ve been.
