Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra Delayed To 2026, To Deliver 'Best Possible Experience'
Skydance New Media has remained tight-lipped about its upcoming title, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, since the initial announcement—and now, the game has officially been delayed.
More than a year ago, during Epic Games' State of Unreal showcase at GDC 2024, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was revealed in collaboration with Skydance New Media. The title came as a complete surprise at the event, with its unique conflict featuring Black Panther and Captain America injecting new energy into the Marvel brand. Today, Skydance New Media confirmed that the previously announced 2025 release window has closed, and the action-adventure game is now scheduled for 2026.
In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, Skydance Games wrote: 'We have an important update: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will now be launching in early 2026. Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish and make sure we give you the best possible experience, one that lives up to our vision. We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!' It's worth noting that neither Skydance Games nor Marvel has shared anything new about Rise of Hydra since the game's announcement trailer in March 2024.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.4 and was likely showcased during the State of Unreal presentation to highlight the engine's visual fidelity. Unreal Engine 5.4 launched one month later, in April, and has since been used in high-profile projects including Avowed, Killing Floor 3 and Eternal Strands. The announcement trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra can be viewed below.
Aside from the official announcement trailer and a few plot details shared at the time, Skydance New Media has remained virtually silent about Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but the studio says it 'looks forward to sharing more soon.'
