Marvel 1943: Rise Of Hydra To Be Published By Embracer-Owned PLAION

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of immersing myself in virtual worlds, I am genuinely thrilled about the upcoming collaboration between Skydance New Media and PLAION for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. The prospect of experiencing this action-adventure masterpiece developed by industry legend Amy Hennig is tantalizing, especially given its ambitious scope and the involvement of Marvel Games.


PLAION, a publishing company under Embracer Group’s umbrella and formerly known as Koch Media, has struck a deal with Skydance New Media, the game developer, to release their upcoming action-adventure title, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. The partnership was disclosed this week, with plans to make the game available worldwide when it drops in 2025.

1943: Rise of Hydra, a Marvel game, was officially announced back in October 2021. The cast was unveiled at the D23 Expo in 2022. However, it wasn’t until March 2024, during Epic’s State of Unreal presentation at the Game Developers Conference (GDC), that the title was finally disclosed. It was then confirmed that the developers would be using Unreal Engine 5 for this project.

The upcoming action-adventure game is being developed in collaboration between Skydance New Media and Marvel Games, with Amy Hennig leading the studio. According to PLAION CEO Klemens Kundratitz’s official statement, they are thrilled about entering into a global publishing agreement with the developer.
