Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is reportedly mired in serious development trouble, with studio developers inside Skydance New Media allegedly unhappy with the current build following recent cancellation scares.
Insider reports claim the game was originally pitched as a Netflix exclusive before evolving into a standalone console release, while creative director Amy Hennig reportedly holds a surprisingly minimal role in day-to-day production. The project is approaching an alpha milestone, but internal sources describe the current gameplay as an overly simplistic, one-button adventure stripped of deeper mechanics.
Rampant budget overruns reportedly forced the studio to cut multiple ambitious features, leaving team members frustrated with how much was sacrificed to keep production afloat. If you were expecting a cinematic World War II epic to rival Insomniac's Marvel releases, you might want to temper your expectations whenever Skydance finally presents actual hands-on gameplay.
