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.

At Skydance Games, our goal is to deliver unforgettable, premium games that honor the characters and worlds we’re fortunate to work with. MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra is an ambitious project, and we are committed to ensuring it meets the level of quality that our team, players, and fans expect.

To fully realize our vision for MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra, we’ve made the decision to shift our release window beyond early 2026.

We’re grateful for the passion and support from the community and players around the world. The team is working hard to create something truly special, and we look forward to sharing more with you as development progresses.
