Amy Henning also described how Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydrasetting allowed her and the rest of the Skydance development team to channel her love of World War II adventure films and her previous work with Uncharted series to create a story filled with twists and turns. She also notes that the game explores a younger Steve Rogers who is not quite the legendary Captain America that fans know from the MCU movies and other Marvel video games. It also follows the story of Azzuri, the grandfather of the Black Panther that players are probably more familiar with.

There is currently no set release date for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra save for a 2025 launch window.
