It’s been no secret that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has run into repeated trouble during development, with Amy Hennig’s Captain America & Black Panther game facing numerous delays over the years.
However, many fans clung to hope that it’d be an engaging, action-adventure thriller focused on tackling the terrorist organization Hydra. According to a recent report, though, it seems like Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is instead “light on gameplay,” with most of the inputs tied to just one button.
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Nears Completion, But Will It Be Worth The Wait?
Kotaku has released a detailed report on the current state of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, after a user on social media claimed in a now-deleted post that the game has been cancelled. In response to this going slightly viral, executive producer Lu Gigliotti reiterated to the development team in the Skydance Slack that the game was, in fact, not cancelled, with there being “no truth to these claims.”
According to the same Slack post, the game is instead nearing an “Alpha” milestone later this month, leading many to believe the game could arrive sometime next year. This would also echo the sentiment from the most recent delay announcement back in June.
However, the current state of the game doesn’t sound particularly inspiring, with it originally being pitched as a Netflix game before being transitioned to consoles and PC. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the game evolved much from its original roots, with Kotaku reporting that it’s incredibly light on actual gameplay, with only one button serving as the primary input source.
To add to the game’s woes, it’s also ballooned over budget, with its original vision being cut back on, both in regard to its length and overall content alike.
Until we see more of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, it seems like the hopes for an espionage action-adventure title may well be in the gutter, but with the game reportedly “close to done,” fingers crossed that we don’t have to wait too much longer to get a proper look.
