Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has been delayed from its initial 2025 release until “early 2026,” according to a social media announcement from its team. There has been little to no news about the game in recent months, so the delay doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The team also didn’t reveal the exact reason for the delay.

“Taking this additional time will allow us to add more polish, and make sure we give you the best possible experience, and one that lives up to our vision,” the post reads. “We have some exciting things in store and look forward to sharing more soon!”

This is the second highly anticipated game to move out of the 2025 holiday season, following in the footsteps of Grand Theft Auto 6. It joins a lineup of other notable games that were meant to launch in 2025, including Fable.

The good news? It sounds like Skydance Games might have a new trailer to share soon, giving us another look at the title. Details have been few and far between, but we know Marvel 1943 is set to be a narrative-driven action game set in the 1940s. It was first shown at Epic Games’ State of Unreal event at GDC as part of a tech demo, an impressive display of graphics that made it look almost like another Marvel movie.

The official page for the game reads, “In the chaos of war, worlds collide. Captain America and Azzuri, the Black Panther of the 1940s, must overcome their differences and form an uneasy alliance to confront their common enemy. Fighting alongside Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris, they must join forces to stop a sinister plot that threatens to turn the havoc of WWII into the ultimate rise of Hydra.”

The game sounds like players will be setting foot inside the MCU, and that’s something we can get behind.

FBC: Firebreak review: co-op Control spinoff is a a lot of work for little payoff
Three players pose together in FBC: Firebreak.

You start a new job. It’s nothing special; you’re just a low rung paper pusher. The starting pay is meager, but it’s enough to pay the bills. Your boss says that he sees a bright future for you in this company. Work hard and you’ll get a promotion. More money. More perks. More power. You bust your butt to hit every milestone you can, occasionally getting a small holiday bonus or a few extra vacation days. Your day to day only improves in small increments, but you keep reaching for the next rung of the corporate ladder in hopes that the view from the top will be worth it one day.

That experience isn’t so dissimilar to how I’ve felt playing FBC: Firebreak, a shooter that feels like a second job. Remedy Entertainment’s foray into co-op action, a spinoff of its 2019 hit Control, brings a playful pitch to the board room. It imagined what the average Joes of its interconnected universe do while Jesse Fayden is living out a superhero fantasy. It’s a celebration of the mundane that hands out Employee of the Week plaques to any player willing to clock in for a dead end job with a smile on their face.

A Samsung executive stands in front of a GameBreaks app screen.

Samsung recently announced the new GameBreaks app on Samsung TVs and monitors from 2022 onwards. It's a way for you to get "easy to play, social experiences" on your Samsung device.

Each day, more puzzles will be added in a way that should feel right at home for '-dle' game players (Wordle, Flagle, etc.). More games are coming, too, such as a Mad Libs styled trivia game, video memory game, and more.

This is all fun and good, but you really can't play unless you have a (relatively) new Samsung TV or Samsung monitor.
