- Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is still in the works, despite rumors of being canceled.
- It is also reported that it is a restricted experience with mostly one-button combat.
- It went through a troubled development, with Amy Hennig hardly involved.
Earlier today, a rumor surfaced indicating that the Marvel 1943 project has been canned. While it was later clarified that it’s still in the works, the direction it is taking for gameplay doesn’t sound too promising based on the reports.
It is claimed that most of the gameplay and action in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra relies heavily on just a single button, and there is minimal interactivity. So, it’ll probably be something like a Telltale game with better visuals.
Why it matters: The announcement trailer looked really promising, with fans expecting a proper AAA experience with proper combat and fleshed-out storytelling, but it will likely be a non-nuanced, basic experience.
Kotaku reported that Marvel 1943 is indeed still in development and is about to hit the alpha milestone. However, it has had a troubled development and was originally meant to be a Netflix/streaming game.
It later transitioned into a PC and console game, but on the surface, it is still going to be a very basic experience. All the combat is mapped to just a single button, so there won’t be much variety, and it’ll be a plain experience.
Furthermore, there won’t be much exploration either, as it is seemingly a very restrictive game on paper, and you won’t have too many choices. The report also suggests that the developers aren’t too happy with it either.
One of the game’s strong suits was that Uncharted writer Amy Hennig was involved, but it has been revealed that her role was minimal. So, despite continuing development, all things point towards an underwhelming final game.
