KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Skydance New Media has delayed Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra past its "early 2026" window
  • No new release date or window was given
  • This is the second delay; it moves from a 2025 target to early 2026 back in May

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed again. Skydance New Media confirmed the World War II action-adventure won't make its "early 2026" window and now sits in the hazy "beyond early 2026" bucket with no fresh date. That's the second slip after it moved from 2025 earlier this year.

What actually changed

The new update removes the previous window and stops short of giving a replacement.

  • Skydance’s statement says the team needs more time; no date or quarter offered.
  • VGC, GameSpot and others report the window is now “beyond early 2026.”
  • No platform list accompanied the delay note.

The message came via social posts and press write-ups rather than a deep blog, so details are thin. The only firm line is that the early-2026 plan is off. Platforms also remain unconfirmed publicly.

A quick timeline of delays (so far)

This isn’t the first push.

  • Announced for a 2025 release originally.
  • May 2025: shifted to early 2026.
  • Nov 6, 2025 (Nov 7 UAE): slipped beyond early 2026 with no new window.

If you were pencilling it in for early 2026, erase that. The project now has an open-ended target.

What the game is (and isn’t)

We still know the broad pitch, not the nitty-gritty.

  • Narrative action-adventure set in Nazi-occupied Paris and beyond.
  • Cast includes Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Black Panther (Azzuri), plus Gabriel Jones and Nanali.
  • Developed by Skydance New Media, led by Amy Hennig (ex-Uncharted).
  • No official platform list yet.

It’s a character-driven Marvel story with multiple perspectives and a pulpy WWII setting. But until the studio shows fresh gameplay and confirms platforms, expectations should stay measured.

Reality check: development and quality aims

Studios don’t hold delays for fun; they usually signal scope or polish work.

  • Skydance framed the slip as taking time to hit quality expectations.
  • First projects from new teams often need longer runway.
  • Recent big titles have also moved, so this isn’t unique.

Better to wait than rush a messy debut. Still, radio silence will start to sting if 2026 passes without firm news.

Is Marvel 1943 delayed again?
