Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra stars Captain America and Black Panther during World War II and is written by Amy Hennig, one of the masterminds behind the Uncharted games. It’s also not coming out anytime soon. It’s been delayed again and doesn’t have a new release window this time.
“Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is an ambitious project, and we are committed to ensuring it meets the level of quality that our team, players, and fans expect,” Skydance Games announced on X on Thursday while everyone was preoccupied with other game delay news. “To fully realize our vision for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, we’ve made the decision to shift our release window beyond early 2026.”

Rise of Hydra was originally supposed to ship in holiday 2025. Then in May of this year, Skydance announced it would be pushed back to early 2026 so the team could add more “polish.” At this point it seems like there’s more than just additional polish that’s needed.
For anyone who hasn’t been following the project, Rise of Hydra takes place in Occupied Paris and is based on the limited comic book series Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers. The action-adventure sports a team-up between Steve Rogers, Azzuri, Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan spy chief Nanali.
The game was first confirmed back in 2021, teased at the D23 Expo in 2022, and finally received a full Unreal Engine 5 trailer in 2024. Skydance has been hyping the cast and the cinematics looked great but we’ve yet to see any real gameplay or get a real sense of the caliber of the game. But it would be cool if a new game Hennig worked on finally got to actually come out.
It’s also the only Black Panther game we’re likely to get for some time. EA canceled its own and shut down the studio making it. Things were very different when Rise of Hydra was first greenlit as well. Hopefully it arrives before too much longer. Just maybe not during fall 2026.
