European games firm Plaion has signed an agreement with Skydance to publish its upcoming Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
The title was revealed at GDC of this year at Epic’s event and is being created by Skydance New Media. That venture is headed up by Naughty Dog vet Amg Hennig. Rise of Hydra is set to launch in 2025.

Skydance Games co-president Julian Beak added: “We believe Plaion is the perfect publishing partner for the multiplatform, worldwide release of Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. 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.”
