Several Epic Games-led projects were showcased during today’s State of Unreal webcast, with Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, Skydance’s new World War II game, being the main exception. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game was shown off during the livestream as a demonstration of Epic’s MetaHuman Creator’s technological capabilities.
New Characters In The Game
Thus, there are a total of four playable characters in Marvel 1943. Instead of the typical present context in which we see Captain America, the clip shows him fighting Nazis during World War 2. On a mission in Nazi-occupied Paris, he meets T’Challa’s grandfather Azzuri, the Black Panther of this period. Despite their apparent lack of chemistry, the two heroes are working together to prevent Hydra from discovering an artifact known as the Eye of Force. Although the teaser closes with them attempting to destroy one another, likely, the that heroes will eventually band together.
Ascending Marvel Games and New Media revealed a tonne of new information for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra at the Epic Games State of Unreal showcase at GDC 2024. When the game was first hinted not too much was known about it because of their cautious approach. The details of what would essentially be a period-piece game set in the Marvel universe became clearer as time went on and leaks surfaced. A group of people will aid the Resistance and the Allies in repelling Hydra during their most potent moment in the war, while the narrative centers on the exploits of Captain America and Black Panther at a particular period of World War II.
