During Epic Games’ State of Unreal presentation today, Skydance pulled the curtain back on Amy Hennig’s upcoming Marvel game, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra!
Well here’s an unexpected bit of goodness today. To help showcase the visual power of Unreal Engine 5, Epic’s State of Unreal presentation revealed the first story trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
The game had been previously revealed during the Disney & Marvel Game Showcase at the 2022 D23 Expo, though it was currently untitled. Based on today’s new trailer, which puts the focus on the story elements, Amy Hennig and her team have been hard at work these last couple years!
All I know is getting the chance to beat up Nazis as Captain America and Black Panther is an instant purchase for me…
Skydance New Media also unveiled a special sneak peek of a key scene between Captain America and Black Panther in Occupied Paris, offering the first glimpse of the game’s talented core cast. Khary Payton plays Azzuri, the WWII-era Black Panther, while Drew Moerlein plays Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. Megalyn Echikunwoke plays Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris, and Marque Richardson plays Gabriel Jones, a U.S. soldier and member of the Howling Commandos. Lyne Renée plays Julie, a key ally in the French Resistance, and Joel Johnstone rounds out our cast as Howard Stark.
In addition to this stellar cast, the story trailer features original music from Grammy® Award-winning composer Stephen Barton. Skydance New Media is thrilled to announce that the game will boast an original score from Barton, who is best known for his work in film, television and games, including Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Star Trek Picard, Apex Legends, Titanfall, and 12 Monkeys.
In Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, players can look forward to exhilarating gameplay inspired by Marvel’s landmark comics, films, and television series. Releasing in 2025, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra captures all the action, excitement, and globe-trotting adventure that has delighted fans for decades.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra doesn’t have a set release date, but today’s new information has at least given us a 2025 release window to look forward to.
