Set during the height of World War II, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra introduces an original story featuring iconic heroes of the era: Steve Rogers’ Captain America and Azzuri the Black Panther. Teaming up with Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos and Nanali, leader of the Wakandan Spy Network, the duo will take the fight to Hydra — Marvel’s infamous Nazi-inspired villains — deep in Occupied Paris.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will be the debut title from Skydance Games, the studio helmed by Uncharted series veteran Amy Hennig and longtime Electronic Arts producer Julian Beak. Originally announced in 2021, and first shown the next year, the game promises a blockbuster, narrative-driven action-adventure with a fresh spin on the Marvel Universe. Players can expect gritty, era-authentic combat enhanced by Wakandan mystic tech and innovations from Howard Stark.
