Skydance's upcoming narrative-driven adventure game, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra , has been delayed to early 2026. Breaking the news on its social media pages, Skydance stated that the they were 'taking [the] additional time to add more polish', while also teasing 'exciting things in store', possibly hinting at the release of a gameplay trailer in the coming months. Not much is known currently about the game, which received a brief cinematic story trailer in early 2024 at Epic Games' State of Unreal event at the Game Developers Conference. Led by Amy Hennig, best known for her work writing and directing the Uncharted series, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is set to follow in the same action-adventure vein, with a story inspired by the 2010 Marvel Comics limited series Captain America / Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers . Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game is set in occupied Paris during World War II, with an original story following Captain America as he forms an uneasy alliance with Azzuri, the Black Panther of the time period, as they work to prevent the rise of the terrorist organisation Hydra. Other characters include Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos and a Wakandan spy named Nanali, with all four being playable. Originally slated for Holiday 2025, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is now delayed to early 2026. As the first major project by Skydance New Media, the game is described as 'a narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game' and will be developed in collaboration with Marvel Games. With industry legend Henning at the helm, the game has the potential to be an epic single-player experience, the likes of Uncharted , but only time will tell if this will be the case, or if the studio will give in to greed by implementing a live-service model similar to that of 2020's ill-fated Marvel's Avengers , finger's crossed that its the former.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra takes GTA 6's lead and moves to 2026
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed from its initial 2025 release until 'early 2026,' according to a social media announcement from its team. There has been little to no news about the game in recent months, so the delay doesn't come as much of a surprise. The team also didn't reveal the exact reason for the delay. 'Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish, and make sure we give you the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision,' the post reads. 'We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!' Recommended Videos This is the second highly anticipated game to move out of the 2025 holiday season, following in the footsteps of Grand Theft Auto 6. It joins a lineup of other notable games that were meant to launch in 2025, including Fable. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra delayed to early 2026 — Wario64 (@ 2025-05-13T13:21:16.349Z The good news? It sounds like Skydance Games might have a new trailer to share soon, giving us another look at the title. Details have been few and far between, but we know Marvel 1943 is set to be a narrative-driven action game set in the 1940s. It was first shown at Epic Games' State of Unreal event at GDC as part of a tech demo, an impressive display of graphics that made it look almost like another Marvel movie. The official page for the game reads, 'In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Captain America and Azzuri, the Black Panther of the 1940s, must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy. Fighting alongside Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris, they must join forces to stop a sinister plot that threatens to turn the havoc of WWII into the ultimate rise of Hydra.' The game sounds like players will be setting foot inside the MCU, and that's something we can get behind.
