Marvel is currently working on a number of new video games with the main characters Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, and Blade. One of these games is being developed by Skydance New Media, will have Captain America and Black Panther as the main protagonists, and will be set in the Second World War.
This game has no official title yet but will be set in Wakanda and the countries that were part of the war. The evil organization known as Hydra will be the main antagonist. According to an insider on X, the game will be called Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is not the name that fans were expecting for a game with Captain America and Black Panther
The MCU is not in the best place right now; the whole superhero sub-genre is not what it’s used to, and people are not going to see this movie with the same excitement.

But Marvel is still very confident about these characters and has planned several games with the comic’s superheroes, like Iron Man, Black Panther, Blade, and more. This is not strange, taking the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man games as an example.
According to the X user, Kurakasis, the title of the Skydance New Media game revealed in 2022 with Captain America and Black Panther as protagonists has been revealed. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
This title will be an action-adventure game where you can choose four different characters to play: a soldier from the Howling Commandos, Captain America, Black Panther, and a soldier of the elite squadron of Wakanda, the Dora Milaje. There is not much information about this project, and Marvel has yet to confirm if it is a live-service experience.
Fans were expecting a name that was a little stronger and less generic
This post on X has a lot of replies from fans talking about how this particular name is not the best for a game like this; they are saying that it is generic and uninspiring. Marvel or Skydance New Dance didn’t confirm or deny this title. There is no date for the release of this title or on which platforms it will be available.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, like the other titles from Marvel, is very anticipated by fans, but with certain distrust thanks to the latest games that were not very good, like Marvel’s Avengers, Gotham Knights, or Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. No new trailers or gameplay have been revealed for these future projects.
What are your thoughts about the Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra name?
