Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra delayed beyond 2026 — no new release window
Skydance Games announced that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed again and will no longer arrive in 2026. The studio said it has “made the decision to shift our release window beyond 2026,” without providing a new target date.
The project is led by Amy Hennig’s studio within Skydance — Hennig is known for her work on the Uncharted series — and was previously pushed from a planned 2025 release into an early 2026 window. The game is a story-driven title set in occupied Paris during World War II and follows a quartet of Marvel characters.

Why this matters
High‑profile AAA projects are frequently delayed to allow for additional polish, but repeated schedule shifts can frustrate fans and complicate marketing and release plans. With Amy Hennig at the helm, expectations for narrative quality are high, which may explain the cautious approach.
The delay also comes amid a busy day for big studio postponements: Rockstar announced a separate delay for Grand Theft Auto VI to November 19, 2026, highlighting a broader pattern of major titles slipping timelines this season.

Discussion: Are you patient with delays when they promise better quality — or do repeated postponements make you lose interest? What are you most hoping to see from Marvel 1943 when it finally ships?
