20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2026
5. Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra
Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Release Date: TBD, 2026
The first of two Marvel games on this list now, with Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, which takes place in occupied Paris during World War II, and revolves around Captain America and Black Panther as they reluctantly team up to try and stop Hydra's quest for world domination.
This third-person action game will allow players to control not only Cap and Black Panther but also Howling Commandos team member Gabriel Jones and Nanali, the leader of the Wakandan Spy Network.
While we haven't seen any honest-to-god gameplay yet, the cinematic trailer at least confirms that Skydance New Media has absolutely nailed the blockbuster vibe players expect, while also gorgeously capturing the aura of WWII-era Paris.
Players should also expect to see a bevy of familiar Marvel faces, with Howard Stark already confirmed to appear as an ally to Steve Rogers.
With Uncharted creator Amy Hennig involved as both producer and co-writer, the odds are good that this one's going to deliver a spectacular rollercoaster ride accompanied by strong character development.
