Skydance New Media’s Amy Hennig-led Marvel game has a full title ( Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra ) release window, story trailer, and tech demo dropped during 2024’s Game Developer’s Conference (GDC).
The game features Captain America, Black Panther, Garbiel Jones, and Nanali (described below). The title was described as:
“In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Captain America and Azzuri, the Black Panther of the 1940s, must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy. Fighting alongside Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris, they must join forces to stop a sinister plot that threatens to turn the havoc of World War II into the ultimate rise of Hydra.
A new trailer gives fans a sneak peek into an original story that takes players on a World War II-era adventure with an ensemble of four heroes playable at different points in the game. As the game’s narrative unfolds, players will assume the role of four central characters: a young Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America; Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther; Gabriel Jones, a United States soldier and member of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris.

Looks great but need to see gameplay.
It looks insane. I loved the scene they showed between Captain and Black Panther. The actors nailed the characters in the few minutes they are shown, they are really good and the writing is pretty great. And yet I wonder what will be the game like. It could be an open-world or it could be an ultra linear with narrow corridor cinematic experience, for what we know.
I want to be surprise but compared to Star Wars Outlaws’ showing, it is hard to say how good will be this game. Outlaws was way more impressive for me because it showed us how fast you can travel and how open it is.
