 Xbox

Ahead of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's release on Nov. 11, Marvel fans and gamers can win one of the limited edition Wakanda-themed Xbox Series X consoles. The look of Microsoft's custom consoles reference the Black Panther suit from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and come with matching controllers, and controller holders, as well as replica Kimoyo beads, the all-purpose Wakandan wearable wonder tech featured in the movies.

Fans and gamers can enter to win by successfully completing a memory game on the giveaway's website.

Other initiatives from Xbox timed to coincide with the movie's release include a new coding curriculum from Microsoft's MakeCode learning platform. Also, Microsoft will host five showings of the movie with programming aimed at helping under-resourced kids learn more about coding and tech careers, according to a statement from Xbox.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the follow-up to 2018's Black Panther, and some early screenings have led to glowing first reactions. It'll be the first Black Panther movie since Chadwick Boseman's death from colon cancer in 2020. Boseman played T'Challa, the king of Wakanda and the Black Panther, in the first movie and several other MCU outings.
