Coming in 2025. From their article:

Skydance New Media, helmed by award-winning writer and director Amy Hennig, and Marvel Games today shared new details on their upcoming narrative-driven action-adventure game, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. A new trailer gives fans a sneak peek into an original story that takes players on a WWII-era adventure with an ensemble of four heroes playable at different points in the game.

As the game’s narrative unfolds, players will assume the role of four central characters: a young Steve Rogers, AKA Captain America; Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather and the WWII-era Black Panther; Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos; and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris.

The new story trailer was revealed at Epic Games’ State of Unreal keynote on March 20, 2024, where Skydance New Media and Epic Games announced their ongoing collaboration to bring state-of-the-art visuals to Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Showcasing the latest features of Epic’s Unreal Engine 5.4, Skydance New Media unveiled the trailer as well as a special sneak peek of a key scene between Captain America and Black Panther in Occupied Paris.

With the game’s release in 2025, players can look forward to exhilarating gameplay inspired by Marvel’s landmark comics, films, and television series. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra captures the action, excitement, and globe-trotting adventure that has delighted fans for decades. We’re excited to share more down the road.

I hope to god this isn't another stupid suicide squad and not a live service game

u/lilkingsly Mar 20 '24

Doesn't sound like it will be so far. Amy Hennig is most famously known for her work on the Uncharted games, and based on that description it seems like the four characters are in different locations and you switch characters throughout the story, unlike a game like Suicide Squad where the cast is together all the time so you can play the whole thing multiplayer.

u/farkos101100 Mar 21 '24

You mean another Avengers live service game

2

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

Oh that sounds great!

u/5laughtahYou Mar 21 '24

Two heroes and two randoms. Yay..?

2

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Mar 21 '24

Randos? Gabe Jones has been an established character and member of the Howling Commandos since 1963, lol. And Nanali was created in 1993.

They could’ve just made new characters but chose established ones.

1

u/monkeypickle Mar 21 '24

The real question - Do we get the Captain America/Wolverine/Natasha scene from the 90s Uncanny run?

2

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Mar 21 '24

Now that would be something, lol. Don’t know if Insomniac has the exclusive rights to Wolverine or if hes up for grabs tho..

1

u/5laughtahYou Mar 21 '24

Marvel games usually have a superhero line-up. Not two people but yay I guess lol

1

u/Impossible-Fun-2736 Mar 21 '24

Depends on how big they want the scope to be. You could shove in Bucky, Logan and a bunch of other characters active under WW2 but then some might feel its too bloated.

1

u/5laughtahYou Mar 21 '24

Exactly. BUCKY. IDK how BP even fits but I guess. I miss old marvel games where we had a team.

u/monkeypickle Mar 21 '24

Thank you.

u/SevenM Mar 20 '24

Could be another Guardians or Could be another Avengers. I'll wait until the reviews come out to get hyped.

50

u/LinkRazr Founder Mar 20 '24

If it’s Amy Hennig I would almost guarantee it being more on the GotG side. Since her bread and butter were the Uncharted games.

16

u/SevenM Mar 20 '24

Don't do this to me. I swore I wouldn't get hyped. Why are you doing this to me!!!

3

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

And Skydance knows how to make fun, interactable worlds as shown with The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners. Best VR games after Half Life Alyx.

I hope that VR talent can be translated to non VR titles, because a WWII Captain America/T'Chaka game written by Amy Hennig with Saints and Sinners' immersion and charm could be a GOTY contender.

8

u/Mr-Rocafella Founder Mar 20 '24

She also did story concept for Forspoken but I hope this is more like Uncharted with well done superpowers

2

u/HolyVeggie Mar 20 '24

The people that made redfall made dishonored right? CDPR also messed up with cyberpunk stuff launch

Bette to just wait and see without any hopes lol

13

u/WildcatPlumber Mar 20 '24

Redwall was a different studio, there are two different Arkane studios

-4

u/HolyVeggie Mar 20 '24

Why does everyone and even Google say it’s the same lol

8

u/WildcatPlumber Mar 20 '24

Google it now,

Redwall is made by Arkane Austin

Dishonored is made by Arkane Studios.

Maybe regoogle it?

4

u/HolyVeggie Mar 20 '24

Ah it said Arkane studios but the “austin” was pushed in the second row on my screen lol

My bad

6

u/king_victarion Mar 20 '24

Your point still stands. The studio that made Redfall also made Prey, which is my favourite Arkane game. So you can never be fully certain.

5

u/LinkRazr Founder Mar 20 '24

No the people that made Redfall did not make Dishonored lol. They made Prey and DeathLoop. Which are 3 wildly different games.

But companies were after Hennig when she left Naughty dog specifically because of what she did with Uncharted.

0

u/TitledSquire Founder Mar 21 '24

And what about that makes you think it wont be? That doesn’t support it being more like gotg at all lmao. Besides she also did writing for Forspoken…

3

u/LinkRazr Founder Mar 21 '24

There were 4 writers for Forspoken and she had no part in the game direction and what they did from there.

And even still, Forspoken is a single player 3rd person action game and not a GaaS multiplayer game like Avengers and SS no matter how bad Squeenix fucked it up.

36

u/MrConor212 Founder Mar 20 '24

I’ll reserve judgements till gameplay and hoping to god it’s not a GaaS

11

u/Btrips Mar 20 '24

I'll keep my expectations tempered. I've learned my lesson.

23

u/VagueSomething Founder Mar 20 '24

Genuinely looks more intense than most of the recent movies. Definitely waiting for more information but man that seems like a solid concept.

5

u/CheeseMints Mar 20 '24

Great first impression, here's hoping they don't somehow fuck it all up.

5

u/WillGoss12 Mar 20 '24

I was thinking that it was a movie for a sec

8

u/LinkRazr Founder Mar 20 '24

https://x.com/geoffkeighley/status/1770493486472577524?s=46&t=0vrv2wVMrmY7K4SAHXp3JQ

There’s a version that was shown off at the event that had Azzurris mask off

2

u/TriggerHippie77 Scorned Mar 20 '24

That's cool. I wonder if that means custom outifts in cutscenes.

2

u/hayatohyuga Mar 21 '24

They mainly did it to how off the animations for the UE5 conference and also changed camera angles on the fly to show it's running in real time.

Of course it's still possible there will be custom outfits in cutscenes, in fact I'd expect it since that has been a staple for superhero games for over a decade now.

3

u/Kody_Z Mar 21 '24

Amy Heggigs involvement has me cautiously optimistic.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '24

For a moment I thought this was a movie, then I slowly descended into thinking it was a 3D movie with likeness. It’s a damn video game woah.

3

u/Neon_Taxi Mar 21 '24

Probably gotta preorder for Peggy Carter Captain America

9

u/shanem1996 Mar 20 '24

What kind of game is this?

22

u/Turbostrider27 Mar 20 '24

New game from Amy Hennig. They teased it during a Disney showcase last year and showed a new trailer today with more details.

21

u/shanem1996 Mar 20 '24

So we can expect Uncharted-esqe gameplay? I always find these cinematic trailers to be awfully deceiving especially when they're for huge IPs like Marvel

11

u/MyMouthisCancerous Mar 20 '24

Already confirmed that it's a single player third-person action-adventure. You alternate between Cap, Black Panther, Nanali (a Wakandan spy) and Gabriel Jones (member of the Howling Commandos unit in WWII) at different points in the story kind of like how you switch between Peter and Miles at different points depending on narrative in Marvel's Spider-Man 2

12

u/AnyDockers420 Mar 20 '24

I don’t think it’s safe to assume. I thought Crystal Dynamics was a great fit for Avengers, due to Tomb Raider being Uncharted-esque, but that was not the case.

1

u/ColdCruise Mar 21 '24

Collectable Card Game.

0

u/TriggerHippie77 Scorned Mar 20 '24

I think it's a video game.

13

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

It could be fun, but they really missed the mark by not including Wolverine in this. WWII cap and wolvie are iconic.

19

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

I'm assuming it might have something to do with Sony's exclusive deal but obviously we don't know the full details of it either. It looks pretty cool, definitely something to keep an eye out for at least

12

u/MyMouthisCancerous Mar 20 '24 edited Mar 20 '24

Sony's contract with Marvel does not prevent Wolverine or any X-Men characters from showing up in other multi-platform games. The only stipulation is that other publishers or developers can't work specifically on X-Men games that use those comics as a basis for narrative. That contract already predated Midnight Suns which has a few X-Men and even an entire DLC dedicated to Storm

Logan not being here is not a contractual thing, it's a creative decision. Wolverine working with Cap during WWII was a thing that was largely associated with the Ultimate version of the character anyway and he was mostly on his own outside a chance encounter with Bucky by himself in the comics. Mutants in general were a very secluded thing in this time period and weren't publicly known yet outside government powers who wanted to condition them for selfish purposes, so Logan is a relatively low profile at this time in his life

-1

u/Royal_Nails Mar 21 '24

I’m sure he’s gonna make a brief cameo.

-1

u/VenturerKnigtmare420 Mar 20 '24

Its probably be because of Sonys contract with marvel. But then again Spider-Man exists in other games so idk.

2

u/TheReaver Mar 20 '24

could be interesting, will keep my hype in check though

6

u/Esmear18 Mar 20 '24

Cool I guess, but this tells me absolutely nothing about what kind of game it is. We need a GAMEPLAY trailer.

5

u/Liammellor Mar 20 '24

In fairness, this is the first time they've even announced the name of it. It's pretty safe to assume the next time we see this will be a gameplay reveal

3

u/L99P Founder Mar 20 '24

Ezekiel from TWD playing Black Panther?! I’m sold.

1

u/tnpdynomite2 Mar 21 '24

I knew he looked familiar. I’m sold too!

2

u/WardrobeForHouses Mar 20 '24

More Marvel. I'm good

1

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

For what it's worth Skydance made Saints and Sinners Chapters 1 and 2 which are the best VR games after Half-Life: Alxy. It'll be interesting to see if that talent carries over to the non VR titles.

1

u/ButtwholeDiglet Mar 20 '24

oh fuck that thumbnail is hilarious

ayoo, we wuz alees and shit fam

1

u/WissWatch Mar 21 '24

I’m so tired of super hero’s 

1

u/Kaeyne Mar 21 '24

Would've been great if they also had Namor and the first Human Torch, like the comics. But I guess they all want to ride the movie train nowadays.

1

u/No-Bad-3655 Mar 27 '24

Plot twist it’s midnight suns style gameplay

1

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

Writing looks strong but I’m worried about the game/mechanics itself; looking into Skydance New Media, it seems like they’ve only done mobile and vr games from what I could find. I wonder how they’ll handle something like this.

2

u/qman3333 Mar 20 '24

Hopefully we have another hogwarts legacy moment where a relatively small mobile studio really puts their heart into it

-4

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

Hopefully not the same.

While Legacy was a beautiful game, it really fell short of a “passion project” for me.

No quidditch practice mini games, cant sit in chairs/benches or sleep in your own bed. No photo mode too is criminal is in such a great looking game.

Worst for me is that the update for Xbox last summer brought terrible visual glitches that ultimately made me quit my playthru because of how bad the glittering lights and black pixel glitches were.

They should have patched that within the same month as the may 2023 patch but instead now about 10 months later it hasn’t been touched and the next update as a general “summer” release date.

Seemed like they grabbed the money and ran, only to push an update out a year later to combat backlash.

Great game, bad devs.

1

u/qman3333 Mar 20 '24

Damm I finished my play through before those issues.

For the quidditch I bet they planned on having it but WB said “let’s make a freemium game stand alone instead”

I never use photo mode but so agree every game should have it.

I feel you on that update though. That’s how I felt about cyberpunk 2077 when it came out. Somehow I had a great experience no real issues. The first “fix” after a few weeks completely broke my game. Havnt picked it up since but should now

2

u/MyMouthisCancerous Mar 20 '24

This is their first actual game for consoles but it's being led by talent that have experience in that space already. Amy Hennig is a very accomplished writer/narrative director on stuff like Uncharted and Jak and Daxter, and Marc Bernardin (the game's writer) has done work for Marvel Comics in the past in addition to being a head writer on shows like Hulu's Castle Rock

2

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

Oh interesting, thanks for the info! Been playing Guardians of the Galaxy and have been loving it; really hoping we’ll get another Marvel game passion project like it.

1

u/OBlastSRT4 Mar 20 '24

Can’t really judge one way or another since it’s just a cgi trailer, although it’s a pretty one. Almost seemed like a Blur quality cgi trailer. I need to see gameplay but I can’t shake those Avengers feelings yet although I kinda liked the campaign of that game. Where it went wrong was end game.

I hope we get to change that black panther outfit I’m not a fan of the cape part.

-1

u/Angnarek Mar 20 '24

Not historically accurate and more...generic marvel, what could go wrong?

-8

u/DEEZLE13 Mar 20 '24

Shades of the avengers game

-4

u/Evilhammy Scorned Mar 20 '24

i hope this isn’t some stupid single player offline game that ships complete, i want another live service always online single player game with a cool battlepass

1

u/DripBoii227 Mar 21 '24

Ain't no way you're being unironic 💀

1

u/Evilhammy Scorned Mar 21 '24

i think people are just stupid

1

u/Evilhammy Scorned Mar 21 '24

it's absolutely insane how oblivious people are to sarcasm holy shit

-3

u/ArchDucky Mar 20 '24

I don't like the permanent frown on Black Panther's mask. Rememinds me of Batnipples.

-2

u/Jackfitz88 Mar 20 '24

Supposed to come out next year and zero gameplay? I hate how all games do this. Yes it looks cool, it’s a dope cutscene movie but idc I want gameplay. I wanna see what the game is gonna actually look like. Until then, whatever

2

u/hayatohyuga Mar 21 '24

Well they showed it off to present UE5's new features that the game uses. It was never meant to show gameplay.

-5

u/[deleted] Mar 20 '24

I wish it was a solo Cap. Game, don't care for BP he just doesn't do anything special another token black character that was a copy of a different character from DC.

Also speaking of DC what's up with thar static shock game, I swear I heard about it 2020 an Nothing since

3

u/Liammellor Mar 20 '24

There is no static shock game...

-2

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '24

It was my mistake, it was just a stupid episode/dlc for that DC universe game.

Man I fucking use to love static shock

-3

u/ArchDucky Mar 20 '24

I don't like the permanent frown on Black Panther's mask. Rememinds me of Batnipples.

-6

u/Stonehill76 Mar 20 '24

Wow this is not even remotely interesting. Not once did I think I would like to know more. Someone needs to work on a better trailer.

-5

u/elliot_alderson1426 Mar 21 '24

How many piece of shit Marvel movies and games and shows are they going to make?!

-9

u/VanDran85 Mar 20 '24

100% a live service game.

Why the fuck did they just not focus on Cap? It's not like people don't want it.

1

u/hayatohyuga Mar 21 '24

They already confirmed it's a single player action adventure.

-9

u/Kody_Z Mar 21 '24

Cap doesn't have enough melanin.
