The year is 1943. The world is embroiled in war. Hydra, an ancient organization, hides under the Nazi swastika to wrap its tendrils around the planet. It is during this war that two legends of the Marvel Universe will first cross paths: Steve Rogers, the first Captain America...and Azzuri the Wise, the Golden Age Black Panther (and ancestor of T'Challa, the modern Black Panther). These two men will need to bear both shield and claw to help free the world from the evil of Hydra.
Inspired by the 2010 miniseries Flags of Our Fathers (the first issue I looked at here), Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is a video game being developed and published by Skydance Media, set to be released in 2025. Announced in October 2021, the game will be produced by Amy Hennig and Julian Beak. 🐦 Hennig will also be writing the game's story alongside Marc Bernadin, who may be known to Marvel fans for his work with Spider-Man and the X-Men. Let's look at the trailer!
Ahh, Paris. The City of Lights. Good food, good times, and lots of Nazis to stomp.
Okay, I get Cap is a super-soldier. And they likely assume Azzuri is, as well. So, who's number three?
"Hello, I am Azzuri. I will be crushing your Nazi face today."
Hey, is that supposed to be Gabe Jones?!
"Well, there was that one time in Calais..."
"That was Jakarra's fault, because he is a drunken idiot!"
I imagine when Azzuri learned Cap was nearby, this was what he was thinking:
It is Gabe! He's got the trumpet!
Well, this game certainly looks spectacular, I'll give it that. Hope it has some fun gameplay. After all, this is a video game. I get the impression we'll be getting a bit of beat-'em-up, a bit of Assassin's Creed-style parkour, and maybe even some stealth elements or two. Hopefully. Thanks for reading this blog entry!
