Marvel’s WWII Game Not Canceled, but Sounds Like a Mess, Insiders Say

One of the biggest upcoming Marvel games has lived to fight another day. According to an X post from Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has not been canceled, despite rumors to the contrary.

About 30 Paramount Games employees were laid off following the merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount. Skydance is also offering employee buyouts as it looks to downsize and require staff to return to the office five days a week.

While Paramount Games Studio's long-in-development Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra seemed like it might be a casualty of Skydance’s sweeping changes, Schreier wrote on X that “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.”

Kotaku corroborated this claim based on a message from Skydance executive producer Lu Gigliotti.

“Of course, this situation could very well change given the uncertainty across Skydance as the WB acquisition unfolds,” Gigliotti posted on Skydance Slack. “All I can definitively report right now is what the company told staff today, which is that development continues as they work toward their next milestone.”

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was first announced in 2021. It is co-produced and co-written by former Naughty Dog employee Amy Hennig, who created the Uncharted series and directed several Legacy of Kain games. After leaving Naughty Dog in 2014, Hennig joined Visceral Games to work on an untitled Star Wars game.
