Skydance is the latest to join the Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra delay train.
Skydance announced today that the release date of its action-adventure Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been pushed back to early 2026. In a post on social media, the company said that the game needed “more polish” to provide the best user experience. This makes Marvel 1943 the second triple-A game this month pushed to 2026 following an initial planned 2025 launch window.
Skydance first announced Marvel 1943 at the Game Developers Conference in 2024. The game is described as an action-adventure narrative game that takes place in 1943, following the adventures of Captain America, the WW2-era Black Panther Azzuri, and other characters. Skydance is creating the game in cooperating with Plaion, and the graphics shown at GDC appear to be incredibly realistic.
The studio has thus far not revealed too much about the story, except that the two will be joined by two other heroes — Howling Commando Gabe Jones and Wakandan spy Nanali — and presumably oppose the villainous organization Hydra. Amy Hennig is the writer of the game, who is known for her Uncharted series among other games. Rockstar Games announced earlier this month that Grand Theft Auto VI would launch in May 2026. The game had originally been scheduled to be released during the fall of 2025. Other publishers were reluctant to announce their release dates for fear of accidentally landing on the same date or week. Marvel 1943’s delay is likely not related, but an “early” 2026 launch window might mean Skydance intends to release it before Rockstar’s juggernaut.
