PLAION has entered into a worldwide publishing partnership with Skydance Games to bring its blockbuster game MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra to players in 2025.
MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra is a narrative-driven, ensemble adventure game featuring Captain America, Azzuri, the Black Panther of the 1940s, Gabriel Jones of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, a Wakandan spy embedded in Occupied Paris. MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra stunned players earlier this year with a spectacular trailer and showcase at Epic Games’ State of Unreal event at GDC. The game hails from the Skydance Games team led by award-winning industry icon Amy Hennig (Uncharted) and Co-President Julian Beak.
“We are proud to partner with Skydance Games and industry legend Amy Hennig on what is one of the most anticipated AAA games currently in development,” said Klemens Kundratitz, CEO, PLAION. “This partnership between two ambitious independent companies is a testament to PLAION’s ongoing mission to become a global force in videogame publishing.”
“We believe PLAION is the perfect publishing partner for the multiplatform, worldwide release of MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra” said Julian Beak, Co-President at Skydance Games. “For our studio’s debut title, we’re crafting an original Marvel story directed by Amy Hennig. We’re thrilled to have found a global publisher that shares our ambitious vision for the project.”
Haluk Mentes, Head of Marvel Games, added “MARVEL 1943: Rise of Hydra is an exquisite and bold take on some of our most beloved and timeless characters. The world-class development talent of Skydance Games and global publishing capabilities of PLAION are an excellent team-up to ensure we deliver on the massive promise this game has. We’re excited to collaborate and bring MARVEL 1943 to players around the world.”
