Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra Delayed To 2026, To Deliver 'Best Possible Experience'

Skydance New Media has remained tight-lipped about its upcoming title, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, since the initial announcement—and now, the game has officially been delayed.
More than a year ago, during Epic Games' State of Unreal showcase at GDC 2024, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was revealed in collaboration with Skydance New Media. The title came as a complete surprise at the event, with its unique conflict featuring Black Panther and Captain America injecting new energy into the Marvel brand. Today, Skydance New Media confirmed that the previously announced 2025 release window has closed, and the action-adventure game is now scheduled for 2026.
In a post on its official X (formerly Twitter) account, Skydance Games wrote: 'We have an important update: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will now be launching in early 2026. Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish and make sure we give you the best possible experience, one that lives up to our vision. We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!' It's worth noting that neither Skydance Games nor Marvel has shared anything new about Rise of Hydra since the game's announcement trailer in March 2024.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being developed using Unreal Engine 5.4 and was likely showcased during the State of Unreal presentation to highlight the engine's visual fidelity. Unreal Engine 5.4 launched one month later, in April, and has since been used in high-profile projects including Avowed, Killing Floor 3 and Eternal Strands. The announcement trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra can be viewed below.
Aside from the official announcement trailer and a few plot details shared at the time, Skydance New Media has remained virtually silent about Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but the studio says it 'looks forward to sharing more soon.'

The Lorax and The Onceler from The Lorax The funniest duo — Jorja and Braydan Robinson — took a big swing at iconic characters and totally nailed it. Daredevil from Daredevil Jay Vecchio's been cosplaying for over six years and he says he doesn't tire of the fun. New shows and movies give him inspiration to keep the costumes fresh and exciting. Vi from Arcane CJ can take on any form as a skilled cosplayer. They've built up a repertoire of fantasy heroes, comic book characters and even some Disney royals.

Maybe their powers are stronger together? Doctor Doom from Marvel Comics Scott Henderson might give Robert Downey Jr. a run for his money with this detailed and functional costume. He can't really hold a phone in his hand, but who needs it when you have magic? Bishoujo Optimus Prime from Transformers Coming in all the way from Canberra, Anita Wen used a combination of made and bought materials to complete her outfit. The case that she's holding was 3D printed and painted by her. Mollymauk Tealeaf from Critical Role Campaign 2 Rena Nero is multi-talented at cosplay and creating costumes for musical theatre. This construction of Mollymauk Tealeaf took two to three weeks to paint and minimum $300-$400 out of pocket to create. And finally, Blackbeard Ben Grimm from Exiles Simon Atwood assured me that this costume is "a deep cut" and I don't doubt him. The fists and masks are part of a larger construction of a The Thing costume from Fantastic Four. What's your favourite cosplay?
