Skydance Delays ‘Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra’ Beyond Early 2026, Pulling Captain America Game From 2026 Slate

Skydance says the shift allows more time to meet its quality bar for the Amy Hennig–directed project.

Overview

The studio confirmed on social media that the release is moving “beyond early 2026,” without setting a new date.
Skydance emphasized the project is delayed rather than canceled, citing the need for additional polish.
The change effectively removes a planned Steve Rogers return from Marvel’s publicly expected 2026 lineup.
The narrative action game features Steve Rogers and Azzuri in World War II and is expected on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
First revealed in 2022 with development reported since around 2019, the title follows a 2024 trailer and brief GDC gameplay tease, while separate 2026 plans still include Anthony Mackie’s Captain America in Avengers: Doomsday and any Chris Evans comeback remains unconfirmed.
