Skydance New Media’s Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed. Instead of launching this year, it’s now targeting early 2026. In a statement on Twitter, the development team said it was taking “additional time” for more polish and to deliver “the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision.”
It also looks forward to sharing more “soon,” which could mean new trailers and gameplay. “When” is the real question, especially with events like the Summer Game Fest showcase and more coming soon, so stay tuned for updates.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra stars Captain America and Black Panther (albeit T’Challa’s grandfather, Azzuri) alongside Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones and Wakanda’s spy leader Nanali. Unfolding during World War 2, with occupied Paris as one of the locations, players will also travel to Wakanda and other yet-to-be-revealed places.
Developed on Unreal Engine 5, director Amy Hennig and her team have big aspirations and want the visual fidelity to be “high so that you could kind of forget that you’re looking at a game.” The developer has not announced which platforms the action-adventure title will be released for.
