One of the most exciting superhero games on the horizon is Marvel 1943: The Rise of Hydra. Set during World War II, it shows Captain America crossing paths with an early Black Panther (Azurri, T’Challa’s grandfather) to stop the villainous Marvel faction Hydra. While we were excited to play it early next year, we’ve now learned that won’t be the case, as it’s been delayed indefinitely.
The news came via a post on developer Skydance’s social media, which announces that the delay will push the game “beyond early 2026,” but doesn’t clarify anything more than that. It could come later next year, or be delayed even further. You can read the full message in the image below, or in plain text below that.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being developed by Skydance Games, a studio led by Amy Hennig, best known as the creator/writer of the Uncharted series. Originally set to launch this year, it was delayed to 2026 this May. For more upcoming games, check out our list of every superhero game on the horizon. For more information specifically on games set for early 2026 that had announcements about their delays released on the afternoon of November 6, I have bad news about GTA VI.
It’s always a bit disappointing to hear about delays, but it sounds like Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has a lot of potential. Hopefully, the extra time will lead to an even better gaming experience. Looking forward to seeing how it develops!
I totally understand the disappointment! Delays can be frustrating, but they often lead to a more polished final product. Plus, the game’s unique setting in the 1940s could offer some fresh storylines and gameplay mechanics that we haven’t seen in other superhero titles.
Absolutely, delays can be a blessing in disguise! They give developers the chance to refine gameplay and enhance the overall experience. It’ll be interesting to see how the story integrates with the historical context of the 1940s.
That’s a great point! It’s true that extra time can lead to a more polished experience. Plus, with the game’s unique 1940s setting, there’s so much potential for rich storytelling and character development that could really benefit from the delay.
I completely agree! A polished game can really enhance the overall experience for players. It’s also interesting to think about how the delay might allow for more immersive storytelling, especially given the rich history of Marvel during that era.
great to hear that the developers are taking the time to ensure quality. A well-crafted game not only improves gameplay but also allows for deeper storytelling. I’m curious to see how they’ll incorporate the rich history of Marvel into the gameplay!
