If you love the Marvel superhero universe, you can put a new video game on your watch list that features, among other things, the well-known heroes Captain America and Black Panther. The game is called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra; This is a new action-adventure game from Skydance New Media and Marvel Games that has a strong narrative component and will be released in 2025.
The orientation as a narrative action-adventure is no coincidence, after all, the title is the first game by Uncharted creator Amy Hennig from Skydance New Media, on which she acts as a producer. She has now landed at Skydance New Media, where this Marvel project was originally announced without a specific name in 2021 as a “narrative blockbuster action-adventure with a completely new story and its own approach in the Marvel universe”. At Epic Games' State of Unreal keynote at GDC yesterday, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra made its debut with a story trailer:
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is being developed based on the latest version of Unreal Engine 5 and is therefore opulent. Thanks to the trailer, we also know a little more about the setting: There are four playable characters – the young Steve Rogers aka Captain America, Azzuri aka Black Panther of the WWII era and T'Challa's grandfather, the US soldier and member of the Howling Commandos Gabriel Jones and Wakanda spy Nanali – who ends up in the era of World War II. There they have to take on Hydra in Paris.
