It may be a while before we get to see Captain America and Black Panther share the screen again—but what about a AAA video game?
We know that there was a Black Panther/Captain America game in the works for a while, but now Skydance New Media has given us our first look at the upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. Check out the story trailer:
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra – In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Skydance New Media and Marvel Games share an original story where an ensemble of four heroes must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy.
The four playable characters of the game include Steve Rogers/Captain America, the Black Panther Azzuri (T’Challa’s grandfather), US soldier/Howling Commando Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan spy Nanali.
Besides the IP, probably the biggest hook of this game is that it’s being directed by Amy Hennig, the creative director behind the first three Uncharted games. We don’t have a look at the gameplay yet, but we should expect Rise of Hydra to be a platformer/shooter with just a little bit of puzzle solving.
Hopefully we get the gameplay reveal soon, but for now, I’m just excited to enter a different era of the Marvel franchise. After the modern settings of Spider-Man and the Avengers game, I want to explore more of the IPs alternate reality.
No specific release date has been announced for Rise of Hydra, but we should expect the game to launch sometime in 2025.
