Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Story Trailer Revealed

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra showcases a 1940s Captain America and Black Panther who must defeat the titular terrorist organization Hydra. Although the heroes have a common goal, they struggle to see eye to eye when they must team up to take down their enemy. Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos and Nanali, a Wakandan spy, join the heroes to prevent the evil organization from rising to power during World War II.

The trailer doesn't show any gameplay, but players will become Gabriel Jones, Nanali, Captain America, and Black Panther at different parts of the story. According to Marvel, the gameplay is also “inspired by Marvel’s landmark comics, films, and television series.”

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will be a narrative-driven action-adventure game developed by Skydance New Media and directed by Amy Hennig. Hennig is mainly known for her work on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. 

The game will also use Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman Animator, the same facial animation tool used for Hellblade 2: Senua’s Saga.
