It's been a long time since we've heard any news about Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, and the latest rumors suggested the project had been scrapped. However, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has reportedly not only avoided cancellation but is also said to be "close to done."

According to Kotaku, Skydance leadership addressed the cancellation rumors in a Slack message to staff, saying the rumors were false and that development should continue as usual. Just a few days ago, reports emerged claiming the company had laid off at least 30 employees.

Kotaku says that the game is expected to reach an "Alpha" milestone later this month. It was originally envisioned as a Netflix game, and then shifted into a proper console and PC release. According to Kotaku's sources, the current version is "light on gameplay", relying primarily on a single button for player interactions. The game has also gone well over budget, and its original vision has been significantly scaled back in both length and content.

This news is unlikely to surprise anyone who has been following the Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra's development. Announced in 2024, the game has faced several delays, with very few updates since its initial reveal. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra still has no confirmed release date. It was previously delayed to 2026, but another delay pushed the release into 2027 or beyond.
