Rise of Hydra Chose the Perfect Time For Some Nazi Stomping Action

It seems like Marvel Games have been having an incredible year coming ahead. EA is developing both Iron Man and Black Panther Games, Arkane Lyon is bringing Marvel’s Blade, and Insomniac Studios is still working hard for Marvel’s Wolverine. However, there’s one Marvel Project that can beat everything: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was announced back in September 2022, and it’s being developed by Skydance Games. While it’s all set to release this year, the developers still haven’t shared much about the game. However, we do know for a fact that the title will allow us to fight against Nazis, and that’s perfect considering everything that’s been going on in the political space these days.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra brings some Nazi action

While chatting with Entertainment Weekly, Amy Hennig, who leads Skydance New Media Division and serves as a writer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, revealed brand-new details about the project and gave us our first look at Wakanda.

Hennig confirmed that alongside occupied Paris, Wakanda would be a major setting for gamers to unravel. We’ll see a young Steve Rogers and the Black Panther of 1943, Azzuri, who is the grandfather of T’Challa. Despite their differences, they’ll have to overcome a common threat, Hydra. There’s no doubt that gamers would absolutely dominate the Nazi threat!

It’s pretty black and white. Who doesn’t want to punch a Nazi?

Hennig and her team’s use of the Nazi threat in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra comes at quite an interesting time. If you haven’t been paying attention to global politics, Donald Trump has risen to power and escalated the ideological war that’s been going on between the left and right.

There’s a clear-cut division in the political background, with each side accusing the other of being Nazis and Fascists. Those who are frustrated with everything that’s been going on would love the digital background in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra as they’ll be able to take out their frustrations. It’s a game that will combine history and modern politics, making every mission feel like a win against the oppressive side.

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is partnering with a surprising publisher

While Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra seems to be a promising game, the fact that it’s partnering up with PLAION for publishing reasons might concern gamers.

Both Skydance Games and PLAION are completely independent units, and the partnership on the AAA title will have a huge influence on the future of both companies.

Even though PLAION has launched a number of successful games, it’s owned by Embracer Group. If you’ve forgotten, Embracer Group has had tons of difficulties in recent years, including massive layoffs and cancellation of projects.

Due to all these problems, Embracer Group decided to split into multiple small companies: Coffee Stain & Friends, Asmodee Group, and Middle-Earth Enterprises & Friends. PLAION is supposed to be part of Middle-Earth Enterprises & Friends as it works on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.

Considering the split of Embracer Group and three new companies, it’s clear that a lot is riding on the success of new games published by PLAION.
