The last time anybody saw hide or hair of Skydance's World War 2 set title Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was at the 2024 Game Developers Conference. Beyond getting delayed from its original release date of holiday 2025 into the nebulous window of "early 2026," mum has been the word. That is until today, with Variety reporting the game is "still in the works" as part of a larger story on the evolving nature of Skydance's interactive projects following last year's merger with Paramount.
The bigger announcement this tidbit is sandwiched in between is the creation of Paramount Games Studio, which will merge the existing Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media studios under one name. The latter will be of the most interest to gamers, as it is the team behind both Marvel 1943 and Skydance's mysterious Star Wars game. As mergers and shakeups in the industry are often followed by project, or even studio, closures it is reassuring to know both projects are alive.
