Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra has not been cancelled, according to Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier, following a widely circulated social media claim that the project had been scrapped.
Schreier reports that Skydance Games addressed the rumour internally, telling the development team via Slack this afternoon that the game is continuing.
“Skydance Games told the development team behind Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra on Slack this afternoon that the game is not canceled, despite a widely circulated rumor on Twitter today claiming that it was,” he wrote.
The cancellation claim spread after a fan account on X alleged that the game had been dropped and that an announcement would follow.
The original post was deleted shortly before Schreier’s correction, with the original account since apologising for providing erroneous information.

Cancellation Rumour Follows Skydance Layoffs
The speculation comes during a difficult week for Skydance’s gaming division, which has confirmed job losses and plans to scale down some projects.
In a statement provided to TheWrap, a company spokesperson said Skydance had reviewed its investments and made the “difficult decision to scale down some of our projects”. The company did not identify the affected games or announce that Marvel 1943 had been cancelled.
Those cuts provide a backdrop to concerns about the project, but Schreier’s report indicates that staff have now received direct reassurance about its status.
The same Marvel fan account had flagged Skydance’s restructuring before the company officially announced it, lending credibility to its latest claim. That apparent track record helped the cancellation rumour gain traction throughout the afternoon.
Marvel 1943 Still Has No Confirmed Release Date
Led by Uncharted veteran Amy Hennig at Skydance New Media, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra follows Captain America and Azzuri, the Black Panther of the Second World War era. Its ensemble also includes Howling Commandos soldier Gabriel Jones and Wakandan spy Nanali.
The game was originally scheduled for 2025 before moving to early 2026. In November 2025, Skydance announced another delay, pushing it beyond that window without providing a replacement date.
Speaking to IGN in June, Paramount Games Studio executive Shawn Kittelsen said the project was playable and remained in development. He explained that the team was being given additional time to meet its ambitions, while indicating that a release in 2026 was unlikely.
