Marvel 1943: The Rise of Hydra — one of the most anticipated superhero games in development — is set during World War II and pairs Captain America with an early Black Panther (Azurri, the grandfather of T’Challa) as they confront Hydra. Although the title had been slated for release early next year, the developer has announced a postponement.

Skydance Games shared the update on its official social account, stating the launch window has been moved “beyond early 2026” without providing a firmer date. That phrasing leaves open the possibility of a late‑2026 release or a longer delay; Skydance has not supplied further scheduling details. Read the developer’s post on X for the original announcement.

Skydance says the team is postponing the release to give the project the time and polish it needs, reaffirming their commitment to deliver a premium experience that honors the franchise and fans.

Marvel 1943 is being developed under the direction of Amy Hennig, the narrative lead behind the Uncharted series. The project was previously pushed from a 2025 target to early 2026 in May; this latest announcement extends that window again.
