‘There Is No Truth to These Claims’: Marvel 1943 Not Cancelled, But Doesn’t Sound Great

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has not been cancelled, despite a social media post claiming the game had been scrapped. Skydance Games executive producer Lu Gigliotti reportedly told colleagues the claims were untrue; the project is still progressing, but its reported development problems raise questions about what the eventual game will offer.

First announced in 2019 and led by former Uncharted director Amy Hennig, the game was initially expected earlier this year and is now scheduled for 2027. Reporting says it is nearing an alpha milestone but has gone over budget and been significantly scaled back. It was reportedly first planned for Netflix before shifting to consoles such as PS5, and its gameplay is said to rely mainly on one button with limited interaction.
