Though no new trailer was released during The Game Awards, director Amy Hennig (Uncharted) does reveal what to expect from the game when it eventually comes out. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Hennig says about Rise of Hydra:

“It led us to do a bunch of interesting things… one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who’s still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we’ve seen in a lot of the films. It also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943.”

With the Indiana Jones game being such a hit with critics this year, it does seem like Rise of Hydra is also going to be a globe-trotting adventure that would also explore several locations—one of them being the secret nation of Wakanda. Hennig continues:

“Wakanda at this point in time is hidden away from the outside world and protected by this impenetrable jungle,” she explains. “They are non-interventionist, but events transpire that pull them into the conflict. They have to protect their interests. The world is getting smaller. No satellites yet, but there will be soon. You can shoot down planes that maybe want to fly over Wakanda, but how long can you stay in the shadows?”

Hennig goes on to explain the conflict between Black Panther and Captain America, who seem to be teaming up to face a common enemy. She says they are “confronting the same enemies and they’re concerned about the same events that are transpiring, but they’re initially almost working against each other. Good people have to work together to overcome evil. If you separate, then you’re not going to succeed.”

Hennig had directed the first three Uncharted games, so it can be easy to guess that Rise of Hydra is going to be a cinematic action-platformer. Of course, she could go a different direction with this game, but the Marvel brand does promise spectacle, and why else would they hire Hennig if they weren’t expecting that from this game?

No release date has been set for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but it is expected to launch sometime next year.
