Marvel 1943’s 2026 Delay Is For “Polish”
Early 2026 Is The New Release Window
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydrais going to be an action-adventure, single-player game. The game was fully revealed in March 2024 at the Game Developers Conference. Since then,not much information about the game has been shared, and no official gameplay has been released. Given the generally negative reception anddelisting of Crystal Dynamics’Marvel’s Avengers, it appears Marvel game developers are keeping things close to the chest until a release date is near.
There was plenty of speculation thatMarvel 1943: Rise of Hydrawouldmiss the purported release window of Holiday 2025due to how little of the game has been shown. Other than the story premise and a brief trailer, very little information about the game is out there. While the game is described as an action-adventure, we don’t know what that might entail for the genre. While there was never an official release date, this announcement from Skydance Games reaffirms that a 2025 window was indeed planned.
