This news comes as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly awaiting the chance to dive into the immersive world of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Set during World War II, the game promises a unique take on the Marvel Universe, focusing on the rise of the Hydra organization and its impact on the war. Players will encounter iconic characters such as Captain America and the Invaders, with a storyline that delves deep into the origins of one of the most notorious villains in Marvel lore.
Skydance New Media, which has a history of working on high-quality gaming experiences, wants to ensure the game is as polished as possible before its release. The team has hinted at exciting new developments and features that will be included in the game. While specific details about these new additions remain under wraps, the studio's excitement for the final product is clear.
Fans are sure to appreciate the decision to take extra time to refine the game. With the pressure of delivering a title that lives up to the beloved Marvel legacy, this additional time could allow Skydance to perfect gameplay mechanics, narrative elements, and visual quality.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was first revealed with a teaser trailer that hinted at an alternate history filled with classic Marvel characters and new, innovative gameplay. The premise of Hydra's rise during World War II and the role of iconic superheroes in thwarting its plans was a major draw for fans. With this new timeline and setting, Rise of Hydra promised to offer a fresh perspective on familiar characters and events.
While the delay is disappointing, it's important to remember that quality takes time, and Skydance's decision to refine the game is a reflection of their commitment to creating an unforgettable experience. Gamers are hopeful that the extra development time will only enhance the game's potential.
As the release window shifts to early 2026, fans will likely have to wait a bit longer to experience the world of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. However, this delay will give the team the space needed to ensure the final product delivers the best possible experience, both visually and gameplay-wise.
Skydance New Media has also promised to keep fans informed about the progress of the game, and we can expect more updates and details as the new launch date approaches. For now, Marvel fans will have to remain patient, but the promise of an exciting, polished game awaits just around the corner.

This woman made her wedding dress from parachute that saved husband's life during World War II: Here's their story
There have been many iconic wedding dresses over the years that tell the story of a beautiful love story between a couple, hold some historic relevance or just impeccable craftsmanship. It could be Princess Diana's regal gown, or Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's simple dresses, or even Queen Victoria's significant wedding dress that popularised the tradition of wearing white for weddings and influenced bridal fashion. But, did you know about the 'parachute wedding dress'? Claude Hensinger kept the parachute that saved his life and later proposed to his girlfriend Ruth in 1947, offering her the material for a gown. Also Read | Woman reviews Gordon Ramsay's burgers at his 1st restaurant in India: 'Chicken is so undercooked I can hear it crying' In an August 19 Instagram video shared by Mae Sharifi, the history buff, who often shares interesting tidbits on culture and history, talked about the bridal gown that tells the beautiful story of a woman who made her wedding dress from the parachute that saved her husband's life during World War II. The parachute wedding dress Sharing the story about the wedding dress, Mae wrote, 'In 1947, a woman made her wedding dress from the parachute that saved her husband's life during World War II. This piece of nylon fabric was the reason Claude was able to return home and marry Ruth. To them, it was worth more than the finest silk and lace in the world.' The story of the wedding dress According to the Smithsonian Museum, who now preserve the dress, in 1944, an American B-29 pilot named Major Claude Hensinger was returning with his crew from Asia when the plane's engine caught fire. The parachute, which was later turned into his wife's wedding dress, not only helped him and his crew jump from their aircraft but also kept him warm until rescuers arrived. Claude kept the parachute that saved his life and later, after returning home from war to Pennsylvania, proposed to his girlfriend Ruth in 1947, offering her the material for a gown. She used the nylon fabric of the parachute for her wedding dress. Per the Smithsonian Museum, Ruth wanted to create a dress similar to one in the movie Gone with the Wind. She asked a local seamstress, Hilda Buck, to make the bodice and veil, while Ruth made the skirt herself. The seamstress used the original parachute strings to create the train effect of the skirt. After returning home from war to Pennsylvania, he proposed to his girlfriend Ruth in 1947, and she used the nylon fabric of the parachute for her wedding dress. She asked a seamstress to model it after a dress from the movie Gone With The Wind. The seamstress used the original parachute strings to create the train effect of the skirt. The couple married on July 19, 1947. The dress was also worn by their daughter and by their son's bride before being gifted to the Smithsonian.

An exhibition offers a window into the life of Dr Jamshed Bhabha
MUMBAI: Rare artefacts, statuettes, books, art, toys, and more from Dr Jamshed Jehangir Bhabha's personal collection will be on exhibit at National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA), from tomorrow to mark the 111th birth anniversary of its founder. Titled 'A life in memory', it will display over 55 exhibits chronicling the life and times of the Bhabha family, the NCPA, and the contribution of the Zoroastrian community to Mumbai's public life. (Narendra Dangiya/ NCPA) 'We wish to memorialise Dr Bhabha's role as NCPA's founder and its guardian angel, but we also want Mumbaikars to re-visit his legacy, and share his vision. To that end, the exhibition is also dedicated to Mumbai and its connoisseurs,' said Nandita Anjaria, senior adviser, NCPA. Some of the timeless pieces which will be on display include a pair of replicas of late 18th century wood-carved mythical creatures that adorn temples and caves (mostly in south India) as imaginary sentinels. Others include a Tara Devi sculpture frozen in bronze and resplendent in a serene 'mudra' seated in a lotus; the exquisitely carved Lord Shiva statuette perched on a 'damroo' (drum), and a metal-and-glass structure shaped after a clock tower. While Mumbai was being battered by rain through the last weekend, a band of young artisans were busy at the spacious 1,500 sq ft Dilip Piramal Art Gallery, the venue of the exhibition, waxing artefacts and touching up the statuettes, even as a senior technician breathed life into the glass tower clock, a nineteenth century masterpiece. 'This one will need six 'hatta-katta' (hefty) workers to be placed on the table,' remarked an artisan, pointing to a pot-bellied Lord Ganesha, carved in a single rock. Dr Bhabha, who died in 2007, bequeathed his treasure chest to the NCPA. 'Over the years the NCPA had to sell off some of his precious paintings to keep the Centre running. Insightful of the resource crunch which cultural institutions face, he had allowed the sales in his will,' said Anjaria. He also bequeathed 'Meherangir', his charming Malabar Hill bungalow, to the NCPA and appointed the Centre to be its sole custodian. Later, the NCPA auctioned it off to raise funds. Playwright Vrindavan Dandawate, who joined the NCPA in the 1980s as assistant director (programmes), described Dr Bhabha as a 'gentle soul with an iron will'. 'When a half-built Jamshed Bhabha Theatre was gutted in December 1997, Dr Bhabha rushed to the site. He summoned his colleagues the next day and urged them not to lose hope. 'We will re-build the theatre,' he had said. Within a year a 1,109-seated proscenium style auditorium rose from ashes and debris,' Dandawate said. Born in an illustrious family, Dr Bhabha inherited his passion for arts and western classical music from his parents, and shared it with his elder brother, scientist Dr Homi Bhabha. A Cambridge graduate with a tripos, he gave up his plans to take the Bar Finals at Lincoln's Inn and returned to India amidst World War II. He joined Tata Steel, which marked his long and fruitful association with J R D Tata. In fact, JRD went out of the way to encourage Dr Bhabha's efforts to promote and preserve music and the arts. The NCPA was set up at Warden Road in 1969, and shifted to its present location in Nariman Point in 1980 on a seven-acre plot on reclaimed land, boasting five full-fledged theatres. As chairman of the Tata Group, JRD, while convincing fellow trustees on the Group's philanthropic boards on the significance of Dr Bhabha's venture, had said, 'One day, perhaps, the NCPA's work may be more important for the country than the work of the steel company.' He succinctly summed up Dr Bhabha's mission. Alongside the exhibition, the annual Jamshed Bhabha Memorial Lecture will also be held on August 21 at the Tata Theatre. Noted legal luminary Darius Khambata, the former additional solicitor general of India, will speak on 'War and Peace: Unlearned lessons from the 20th century'. ('A life in memory' will be exhibited at the Dilip Piramal Art Gallery, NCPA, from August 21 till September 14, between 12 noon and 7 pm)

Marvel's Wolverine PS5: Everything you need to know
Insomniac Games is developing Marvel's Wolverine, a PlayStation 5 exclusive, promising a mature, character-driven narrative centered on James "Logan" Howlett. While a release date remains unconfirmed, industry speculation suggests 2026 or later, despite active development. The game will feature an original story drawing from Wolverine's comic book mythology, with Madripoor as a key location. Marvel's Wolverine is a highly anticipated action-adventure game that has yet to be released. The video game is being developed by Insomniac Games and will be published by Sony Interactive Entertainment exclusively for PlayStation 5. This standalone title shows how the Marvel universe has expanded, especially after the success of its Spider-Man series. Additionally, the developers have promised to deliver a masterpiece of all time with a mature, character-driven story that will center around the history of James "Logan" Howlett, better known as Wolverine. As of now there is not much information available about the game, but there are a few official announcements made by the developers and some analysis from the teasers. Marvel's Wolverine - PlayStation Showcase 2021: Announcement Teaser Trailer | PS5 What is the release date of the Wolverine PS5 game? As of August 2025, Marvel's Wolverine does not have a confirmed release date or even a specific release window. The developers first announced the game back in September 2021, and it was described as being in "very early development" at that time. However, the recent development indicates that the production of the game is ramping up, and there is also a shift of key team members from Spider-Man 2 to this project. There was also an official statement made by Insomniac Games in the month of April 2025 that reaffirmed that active development is underway but that news will be shared only when the studio is ready. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Weather Tomorrow havadurumu Learn More Undo The industry assumptions, which were potentially fuelled by the unfortunate 2023 data breach, suggest that a release is unlikely before 2026. Hopes remain that a release window might be announced at a future event like Gamescom 2025. What is the storyline of Marvel's Wolverine? Marvel's Wolverine will remain an original, self-contained narrative that will purely run from the character's extensive comic book mythology. From the recent trailer release, we get to know that Madripoor will be a key location of the game. The narrative of the story is expected to have a "mature tone" and will be focused on Logan's past, with widespread speculation that the infamous Weapon X program—where his skeleton was bonded with indestructible adamantium—will be the central plot of the story.

However, the 2023 ransomware attack on Insomniac Games has led to the unintended leak of numerous development assets, which likely revealed several other characters slated to appear. Players can expect a roster of characters from Logan's history, which includes both his allies and iconic villains. Marvel's Wolverine: Expected prices, editions, and pre-order details The official pricing and edition details for Marvel's Wolverine are yet to be announced by Sony. But based on the standard pricing model for first-party AAA PS5 titles, the base game is expected to retail at approximately $69.99 / $99.99 CAD . Also, fans can expect a Digital Deluxe or Collector's Edition, which will potentially include: Bonus cosmetic items. An artbook. A soundtrack. Also for now some retailers have already listed placeholder pages for the game, allowing fans to register interest for pre-orders, but these pages carry clear disclaimers that all details are subject to change and that no release date is confirmed.
