Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Pushed Back to Post-Early 2026

Fans of Marvel games received disappointing news today as the highly anticipated Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed. This setback follows closely on the heels of another major delay in the gaming world.

Release Postponement for Marvel 1943

Just an hour after the announcement that GTA 6 would be delayed to November 2026, Skydance Games revealed that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra faces its own postponement, now slated for release “beyond early 2026.” In their official statement, Skydance Games emphasized that the delay is crucial “to fully realize our vision.” No new release window has been provided yet for Rise of Hydra, marking another shift from its previous schedule that aimed for early 2026.

This narrative-driven adventure game stars iconic characters such as Captain America, Azzuri— the Black Panther of the 1940s— Gabriel Jones from the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy in Occupied Paris. The game created significant buzz in early 2024 when a striking trailer was unveiled during Epic Games’ State of Unreal event held at GDC. The development team at Skydance Games, led by industry veteran Hennig, known for her work on Uncharted, and co-president Julian Beak, are at the helm of this highly anticipated project.
