Amy Hennig's Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Hasn't Been Cancelled, Skydance Reportedly Says, as Rumours Swirl to the Contrary
Skydance New Media denied rumors that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was canceled, with executive producer Lu Gigliotti confirming via Slack he spoke directly with leadership to verify the game remains in development.
Following online rumors of cancellation, Gigliotti assured staff via Slack that the studio is "monitoring the situation" and would address it through appropriate channels. The game is approaching an "Alpha" milestone later this month.
Development has faced significant trouble and budget issues; the project is reportedly "light on gameplay," with action mapped to one button and lacking "significant interactivity." The team has "significantly" scaled back its original vision.
Marvel 1943 was first delayed beyond early 2026, then pushed further into 2027 and beyond. Separately, at least 30 people at Paramount Games were laid off two days ago following the Paramount and Warner Bros merger.
Director Amy Hennig's first major project since Uncharted 3 in 2011, Marvel 1943 faces an uncertain launch window despite approaching Alpha, with no confirmed release date despite multiple delays since the 2024 reveal.
