Skydance Interactive introduced right now that its upcoming action-adventure recreation Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra won’t longer goal a 2025 launch, however as an alternative has been moved to an early 2026 window. The corporate revealed the delay in a social media publish, saying the sport requires “extra polish” to be able to ship the absolute best person expertise. This makes Marvel 1943 the second triple-A recreation this month pushed to 2026 following an preliminary deliberate 2025 launch window.
Skydance first introduced Marvel 1943 on the Recreation Builders Convention in 2024. It’s described the sport as a narrative-driven action-adventure recreation set within the titular yr, and it follows the adventures of Captain America and the WW2-era Black Panther, Azzuri. Skydance is creating the sport in cooperating with Plaion, and the graphics proven at GDC seem like extremely life like.
The studio has up to now not revealed an excessive amount of in regards to the story, besides that the 2 will likely be joined by two different heroes — Howling Commando Gabe Jones and Wakandan spy Nanali — and presumably oppose the villainous group Hydra. The very fact the sport is penned by video games trade veteran Amy Hennig, recognized for the Uncharted collection, amongst others.
This isn’t the primary main title to be delayed from a deliberate 2025 launch date. Earlier this month, Rockstar Video games revealed that it had set a Might 2026 launch date for Grand Theft Auto VI; the sport was initially scheduled for a fall 2025 window. One of many unwanted side effects of such a big recreation asserting a launch window is that different publishers gave the impression to be reluctant to announce their very own, lest they inadvertently land on the identical day and even week.
