Marvel’s 1943: Wakanda Enters World War II
Get ready for a thrilling World War II adventure! Marvel’s 1943: Rise of Hydra, from Skydance New Media, throws Captain America and a 1943 Black Panther, Azzuri (T’Challa’s grandfather), into a globe-trotting conflict against the Nazis.
A Unique WWII Story
Writer Amy Hennig (Uncharted) crafts a fresh take on Captain America, portraying a younger, less experienced Steve Rogers. This era’s Black Panther, Azzuri, is depicted as a more mature figure than the young Cap.
The game features stunning visuals, aiming for a cinematic experience that blurs the lines between gameplay and a Marvel film. The use of Epic’s MetaHuman Creator ensures incredibly detailed characters.
Wakanda’s Secret Role
Wakanda, hidden and protected by its dense jungle, is initially non-interventionist. However, unfolding events draw them into the conflict, forcing them to defend their interests as the world shrinks.
Gameplay and Story
Though initially rivals, Captain America and Black Panther will ultimately team up against their common enemy. The game promises intrigue, twists, fascinating characters, and interesting locations beyond Wakanda and Occupied Paris, with a mysterious third super soldier also involved.
Release Date
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is expected to release next year.
