Today, Plaion (formerly known as Koch Media) and Skydance announced a global publishing deal for the single player action/adventure game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
Klemens Kundratitz, CEO of PLAION, stated:
We are proud to partner with Skydance Games and industry legend Amy Hennig on what is one of the most anticipated AAA games currently in development. This partnership between two ambitious independent companies is a testament to PLAION’s ongoing mission to become a global force in videogame publishing.
Julian Break, Co-President at Skydance Games, said:
We believe PLAION is the perfect publishing partner for the multiplatform, worldwide release of MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra. For our studio’s debut title, we’re crafting an original Marvel story directed by Amy Hennig. We’re thrilled to have found a global publisher that shares our ambitious vision for the project.
Haluk Mentes, Head of Marvel Games, added:
MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra is an exquisite and bold take on some of our most beloved and timeless characters. The world-class development talent of Skydance Games and global publishing capabilities of PLAION are an excellent team-up to ensure we deliver on the massive promise this game has. We’re excited to collaborate and bring MARVEL 1943 to players around the world.
The game was unveiled in March, at GDC 2024, with a stunning trailer that showed its impressive Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals. Players will control an ensemble of four characters: Steve Rogers (Captain America), Azzuri (Black Panther), Gabriel Jones (a member of the Howling Commandos), and Nanali (a leader of the Wakandan spies).
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is slated to launch at some point next year. Platforms haven't been announced, but PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X are a safe bet.
