Summary

  • Khary Payton, Black Panther's voice actor in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, recently hinted that the game may be released during the 2025 holiday season.
  • Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra was first revealed in 2022 and will follow Captain America during his days as a World War 2 super soldier.

The voice actor for Black Panther in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra might have revealed the game’s 2025 launch window. Skydance New Media gave players their first look at its Marvel project back in 2022, with later showings revealing that Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will follow Captain America during his early days as a World War 2 super soldier. The sentinel of liberty won’t be alone in his fight against Hydra, as he will form an uneasy alliance with Azzuri, the Black Panther of that era, as well as Howling Commandos member Gabriel Jones and a high-ranking Wakandan spy named Nanali.

The king of Wakanda requires a commanding voice to go with his authority, and fans of comic book media might quickly recognize Khary Payton for his role as Cyborg in the 2000s-era Teen Titans cartoon and various other works like the Injustice games. He has also voiced numerous other characters for both Marvel and DC, and Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra will see him don the iconic feline mask of the Black Panther. Fans are excited to see what Payton brings to the role, and he might have just provided an idea about when they will get to do so.

During an exclusive interview with The Direct, Khary Payton discussed his work on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra. At one point, he expressed how excited he is to be playing an iconic character like Black Panther and for fans to play the game. According to Payton, Marvel 1943 is aiming for release in 2025, and it might launch around the holidays. “We’re still working. We’re planning on 2025…We’re thinking like a Christmas situation. But I'm so excited.”

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra Might Be Coming in Late 2025

So far, the official release window for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra merely states that the game is supposedly coming out in 2025, already a rich year for Captain America fans thanks to his playable role in Marvel Rivals and the recent release of Captain America: Brave New World in theaters. As for Black Panther, EA and Cliffhanger Games are developing a standalone Black Panther game that will presumably focus on the modern-day iteration of the character.

We’re still working. We’re planning on 2025… We’re thinking like a Christmas situation. But I'm so excited.

In the meantime, fans of both these legendary Marvel superheroes can look forward to Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, even if Khary Payton’s recent comments aren’t a guarantee that the game will launch during the 2025 holiday season. If Marvel 1943 is going to be released around this timeframe, a good guess would place it somewhere in November, ahead of Black Friday and the related holiday shopping season.
