Ambitious Captain America game has been indefinitely delayed

Marvel’s ambitious new video game Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra has been delayed once more.

Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra was first announced back in 2021 and will see Steve Rogers’ Captain America team up with an early Black Panther to stop evil organisation Hydra during World War 2. The action-adventure game is being created by Uncharted’s Amy Hennig.

The game had been set to launch this year but in May, Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra was delayed until early 2026 so developers Skydance Games could “add more polish” to the title. “[We want to] make sure we give you the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision,” they explained in a brief statement.

However last night (November 6), Skydance announced they needed even more time on Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra. “Our goal is to deliver unforgettable, premium games that honour the characters and worlds we’re fortunate to work with. 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,” they wrote. 

“To fully realise our vision for Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra, we’ve made the decision to shift our release window beyond early 2026.” No new release window has been confirmed.

“I don’t think this game is actually going to release,” wrote one fan on Reddit following the news. “Not too surprising, nothing had come out about this game besides the original trailer from a year or two ago… Hope it still gets released,” added another.  The delay comes days after Marvel praised Insomniac, the team behind Marvel’s Spider-Man and Wolverine, and hinted that more collaborations could be on the way.

Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra isn’t the only blockbuster game that was delayed yesterday. Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto 6 would now be launching in November 2026 after it was originally set to release at some point in 2025.
