Amy Hennig’s Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is published by Plaion

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, the upcoming action-adventure game starring fan-favorite Marvel superheroes Captain America and Black Panther, will be published by Plaion. The company announced a global publishing partnership with developer Skydance New Media, confirming that it will bring Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra to players in 2025. The game was revealed earlier this year during Epic Games’ State of Unreal event at the Game Developers Conference (GDC).

The game is being helmed by Amy Hennig, an industry veteran known for her work on the Legacy of Kain and Uncharted franchises. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra does not yet have a concrete release date, but it has been confirmed for release sometime next year.

“We are proud to partner with Skydance Games and industry legend Amy Hennig on one of the most anticipated AAA games currently in development,” said Plaion CEO Klemens Kundratitz said about the publishing agreement between the two companies.

“We believe PLAION is the perfect publisher for the multiplatform, global release of MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra,” said Julian Beak, co-president of Skydance New Media. “For our studio’s debut title, we’re creating an original Marvel story directed by Amy Hennig, and we’re thrilled to have found a global publisher that shares our ambitious vision for the project,” he added.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will be a story-driven action-adventure title featuring four playable characters: Captain America; Azzuri, the Black Panther from the 1940s; Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, a Wakandan spy trapped in occupied Paris. The game will focus on Captain America and the Black Panther as they team up to thwart Hydra’s campaign during World War II.

The upcoming game was revealed back in March with a story-focused trailer at GDC. The cinematic trailer didn’t show any gameplay, but it hinted at the game’s stealth and action gameplay, and gave details about the superhero protagonists. It’s also been confirmed that the game is built on Unreal Engine 5.
