Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Not Cancelled but Reportedly Over Budget and Scaled Back
Skydance Games confirms the superhero title is still in development, but new reports suggest a delayed release and light gameplay.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, the superhero game featuring Captain America and Black Panther led by former Uncharted director Amy Hennig, has not been cancelled despite recent rumors. A fan account on X claimed the project was scrapped, but that post has since been deleted.
According to Kotaku, Skydance Games executive producer Lu Gigliotti addressed the rumor in a private Slack message, confirming with leadership that the reports are false. The game, first announced in 2019, was originally planned for release earlier this year but has now been pushed back to 2027.
However, Kotaku's reporting also indicates the project faces challenges. It is reportedly over budget and has been significantly scaled back. Journalist Rebekah Valentine noted the title was originally intended for Netflix before transitioning to consoles like PS5 during development.
Valentine also reports that gameplay is said to be light, primarily using only one button and lacking significant interaction.
