Skydance Games and Amy Hennig's upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed once again, and will no longer hit its previously announced early 2026 release window, the studio announced today.
It's the second major game delay to be announced today, with Grand Theft Auto VI's delay understandably taking up most of the oxygen. Skydance Games even made its announcement five minutes before Rockstar Games' post went live.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Skydance Games wrote, "Our goal is to deliver unforgettable, premium games that honor the characters and the worlds we're fortunate to work with. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is an ambitious project, and we are committed to ensuring it meets the level of quality that our team, players, and fans expect."
"To fully realize our vision for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, we've made the decision to shift our release window beyond early 2026. We're grateful for the passion and support from the community and players around the world. The team is working hard to create something truly special, and we look forward to sharing more with you as development progresses."
We've known that Amy Hennig and Skydance Games have been working on a Marvel project for a while, though its official title wasn't revealed until March 2024, at which point it was also slated to launch in 2025.
Earlier this year, (shortly after Rockstar first announced GTA VI would launch in May 2026, in fact), Skydance Games confirmed that Rise of Hydra would not make its initially set 2025 release window, and pushed the game to early 2026.
Now, its release window seems to be sometime mid-to-late 2026, though we've been given no more specifics than that. Wherever it lands, it's clear that 2026 is shaping up to be a year for big releases.
