Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed and will not launch in 2025. Publisher Skydance has announced that the game is now coming in "early 2026."
"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 company said. "We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon."
From our previous reporting, the game is set in the middle of World War 2. It features an original story from Uncharted's Amy Hennig and her Skydance New Media studio focuses on Captain America, Black Panther, and their allies as they work to liberate Paris from the Axis forces. While Captain America and Black Panther are heroes in their own right, the two don't immediately see eye to eye and it's not long before the King of Wakanda and the first Avenger are at one another's throats.
Players will also explore occupied Paris as Gabriel Jones, a US soldier and member of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in the city. This game's version of Captain America is described as a young version of Steve Rogers, while the man underneath the Wakandan armor is Azzuri, the grandfather of the modern era's Black Panther, T'Challa.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being developed in Unreal Engine 5, and also makes use of the facial animation tool MetaHuman Animator to help create more authentic performances.
In a blog post on the Marvel website, the cast for Marvel 1943 was also revealed. Players can expect to hear the following voices bringing the iconic and new characters introduced in the game to life:
Marvel 1943 was first revealed in 2022 and is one of several Marvel games in development currently. Deathloop studio Arkane Lyon is working on a Blade game while EA is working on Iron Man, Black Panther, and a mystery Marvel game.
