Yesterday, a rumor emerged on X claiming that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, the upcoming World War II-era superhero game led by Uncharted creator Amy Hennig, was being cancelled. After making the rounds on social media, new reports claim this is not the case, at least for now.
The rumor stemmed from a now-deleted X post from a fan account called Marvel 1943 Rise Of Hydra Countdown claiming, through supposed inside sources, that Skydance was preparing to announce the game’s cancellation. This rumor was quickly picked up and circulated by online gaming circles, gaining steam due to growing uncertainty around the game’s status.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was revealed in 2022 and stars Captain America and Black Panther (Azurri, T'Challa's grandfather), alongside Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones and Wakandan Spy Network leader Nanali, as they battle Hydra during World War II. Developed by Skydance New Media, led by Amy Hennig, it’s been repeatedly delayed, and only cinematic footage has been released. This has understandably caused many to question the game’s fate.
However, a few hours after the cancellation rumor made the rounds, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier reported on Bluesky that Skydance’s leadership addressed the rumor with the development team on Slack and assured them Marvel 1943 was not canceled. However, Schreier adds this could change due to the uncertainty caused by the recent merger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance (Skydance New Media is a game development branch of the now-merged Skydance Corporation).
Skydance Games told the development team behind Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra on Slack this afternoon that the game is not canceled, despite a widely circulated rumor on Twitter today claiming that it was.
