Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Looks Poised to Beat Other Marvel Games to the Punch

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I am genuinely excited about the upcoming release of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. The unique setting, the narrative-driven action-adventure gameplay, and the collaboration between Captain America and Black Panther have caught my attention.


Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra marks the latest creation from Amy Hennig, renowned writer and director of the Uncharted and Legacy of Kain series. Developed by Skydance New Media, a newly established studio, this game is an action-adventure with a strong narrative focus, featuring Captain America and Black Panther as playable characters. They join forces to thwart the emergence of the notorious terrorist organization, Hydra. Unlike typical superhero games, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra offers an exceptional setting – Nazi-occupied Paris during World War 2. This is a rare backdrop for both superhero games and AAA titles alike.

Despite limited information about Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra being available so far, this eagerly awaited Marvel game is almost ready for release. The game, which will be published by Embracer Group subsidiary Plaion in 2025, has a broad launch window, but it appears that it won’t face intense competition when it hits the market next year. Although 2025 promises to be a busy year for gaming overall, the following 12-15 months seem to offer fewer superhero titles and Marvel games in particular, which could benefit Marvel 1943 since its release will likely outpace other upcoming Marvel games on the scene.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra May Not Face Much Competition from Other Marvel Games in 2025

Insomniac’s Unannounced Venom Game is Reportedly Slated for 2025, But it May Not Launch Next Year

Amongst the many upcoming Marvel projects, one that’s generating a lot of buzz is a game titled “Venom: Lethal Protector,” which hasn’t been officially announced yet. Rumors from Insomniac leaks in 2023 suggest this could be their next major production. Based on limited information available so far, it seems that Venom: Lethal Protector is a spin-off of the Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, serving as a bridge between Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 in its storyline. Interestingly, it’s said to be comparable in scale to Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

It appears that “Venom: Lethal Protector” is set to be released in 2025, while “Marvel’s Wolverine”, another superhero game from Insomniac, is scheduled for launch in 2026. However, with 2024 nearing its end and no announcements or teasers about a Venom spin-off game from Sony yet, it seems possible that these release dates may have already changed. If “Venom: Lethal Protector” is still in development, then it’s likely we won’t see it next year unless Sony surprises us by announcing the game during the anticipated State of Play event this month.

EA’s Iron Man and Black Panther Games Are Still Shrouded in Mystery and Are Unlikely to Release Soon

Beyond Insomniac’s Marvel ventures, gamers can anticipate new Iron Man and Black Panther titles from EA, set to launch soon. While details about both games have been publicly announced, much like Venom: Lethal Protector, there’s currently limited information available on either project. What we do know is that the Black Panther game is being developed by EA Motive, while Iron Man is under the guidance of Cliffhanger Games. Since EA has kept mum about these upcoming superhero games, it’s likely they won’t hit shelves in 2025.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra May Avoid a Saturated Release Window By Launching in 2025

Considering the details we have, it seems plausible that “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” might be the sole AAA single-player Marvel game releasing next year. This could potentially be a letdown for some superhero fans, but it may help Skydance’s new game avoid a crowded release period. There’s a chance that “Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra” might get postponed to 2026, but if not, it would likely be the only Marvel game in the spotlight next year within the context of Marvel games.
