Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra delayed a second time. Release window shifted later into 2026

Today, a huge-budget, highly anticipated game was delayed, and not just Grand Theft Auto 6. Around the same time Rockstar announced their delay, Skydance Games announced on social media that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will also be delayed a second time. To this day, the only glimpse fans have had of this game was a cinematic trailer from the State of Unreal in 2024. This also isn’t the first time this game has been delayed; it was originally planned for this year, but was pushed back to early 2026 in May.

This highly cinematic Marvel video game starring the two iconic heroes, Black Panther and Captain America, is set in Paris during World War 2. The trailer shows both Black Panther and Captain America at odds as they appear to be racing towards the same goal. Eventually culminating in a conflict between the two, as each tells the other to stay out of the way. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being directed by Amy Hennig, the same director and writer of the Uncharted series, which could be a great fit if it ever does release.

The social media post does provide an explanation for the delay, with the team writing: “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.” The post then goes on to explain that: “To fully realize our vision for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, we’ve made the decision to shift our release window beyond early 2026.” The announcement does not clarify any further specifics about a release date or release window.

Considering we have yet to learn anything more about this game other than its two delays this year, it is concerning. Not that this deserves to be compared to Grand Theft Auto 6, but that game was delayed today as well, and despite that, it still provided a specific release date. We have also gotten two trailers for GTA 6, while Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra still only has one.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is an ambitious title that appears poised to push the limits of graphical fidelity. It’s a title to get excited about, but until we learn more about it, like another trailer or some gameplay, it’s best to be patient.
