Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is a 2025 action/adventure video game based on characters from Marvel Comics, with its story and setting inspired by Black Panther v3 #30 and Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers limited series. It marks the first project developed and released by Skydance New Media and is written by Amy Hennig (Uncharted, Jak and Daxter, Legacy of Kain).

Set in World War II Paris, the game follows Captain America (AKA Steve Rogers) and Black Panther (AKA King Azzuri of Wakanda) as they come to blows as their respective missions intersect. The game will feature four playable characters: Rogers, Azzuri, Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones, and Wakandan agent Nanali.

The game will release in 2025.

Previews: State of Unreal presentation, Story trailer

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra includes examples of the following:

• Headbutting Heroes: The trailer shows Cap and Black Panther being openly distrustful of the other and it ends with them coming to blows.
• Ink-Suit Actor: Azzuri in the trailer and State of Unreal presentation bears a strong resemblance to his voice actor, Khary Payton.
• Mythology Gag: Gabe Jones wears a Badass Bandolier, just like he does in Captain America: The First Avenger.
• Vagueness Is Coming: In the trailer, Gabe Jones reads a message saying that “The Eye of Force has been found.” Nothing more is said.
