As a single-player action-adventure narrative-driven game starring not one, but two iconic Marvel superheroes, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has registered itself on more than a few radars, and the fact that it’s being developed by a team led by Uncharted creator Amy Hennig only serves to make it that much more of an intriguing prospect. Now, developer Skydance New Media has also unveiled the company that it is partnering with to publish the title.
It has been announced that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is going to be published by Plaion. The publisher, which is owned by the Embracer Group, was previously known as Koch Media, and will serve as the global publisher for Skydance New Media’s upcoming action-adventure title.
“We are proud to partner with Skydance Games and industry legend Amy Hennig on what is one of the most anticipated AAA games currently in development,” said Plaion CEO Klemens Kundratitz in a press release. “This partnership between two ambitious independent companies is a testament to Plaion’s ongoing mission to become a global force in videogame publishing.”
“We believe Plaion is the perfect publishing partner for the multiplatform, worldwide release of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” said Julian Beak, co-president at Skydance Games. “For our studio’s debut title, we’re crafting an original Marvel story directed by Amy Hennig. We’re thrilled to have found a global publisher that shares our ambitious vision for the project.”
“Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is an exquisite and bold take on some of our most beloved and timeless characters,” said Haluk Mentes, head of Marvel Games. “The world-class development talent of Skydance Games and global publishing capabilities of Plaion are an excellent team-up to ensure we deliver on the massive promise this game has. We’re excited to collaborate and bring Marvel 1943 to players around the world.”
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will launch at some point in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A specific release date for the title has yet to be announced.
