Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Delay Details

As announced on social media, the company states that, while they are fortunate to be working on such an ambitious project, they have made the difficult decision to delay the game to realize their vision for it.

The studio confirmed that the project has been pushed further back, with no updated launch date provided. This is the second delay, as the initially targeted release date was set for early 2026.

The delay comes as the team continues to refine the ambitious title, which promises a cinematic narrative set during World War II. Players will take control of multiple heroes, including Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Azzuri (the Black Panther of that era), as they battle against Hydra forces in a story-driven campaign.

Marvel enthusiasts who have been eagerly awaiting this crossover will now have to wait beyond early 2026, and this delay also affects one of Marvel’s most ambitious gaming projects, shifting expectations for superhero titles and leaving a noticeable gap in the release calendar for action-adventure games.
