Playable Heroes

Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra features four playable protagonists whose paths intertwine during World War II. Unlike other Marvel games, this cast pairs the iconic Steve Rogers with a period-specific Black Panther named Azzuri, the grandfather of T'Challa. They are joined by Gabriel Jones, a member of the Howling Commandos, and Nanali, an MI6 agent operating behind enemy lines.
Steve Rogers / Captain America
Super Soldier · Allied Forces
The Star-Spangled Man with a Plan, Steve Rogers wields his vibranium shield in frontline combat against Hydra forces. As a peak-human super soldier, he excels in direct melee combat, shield throws, and leading the Allied effort in 1943.
- Vibranium shield combat
- Peak human strength and agility
- Tactical leadership
Azzuri / Black Panther
King of Wakanda · Wakanda
The WWII-era Black Panther and grandfather of T'Challa, Azzuri brings the stealth, speed, and ferocity of the Panther mantle. His kinetic vibranium suit absorbs and redistributes energy, making him a deadly close-quarters predator.
- Kinetic energy-absorbing vibranium suit
- Enhanced stealth and acrobatics
- Claw-based melee combat
Gabriel Jones
Howling Commando · US Army / Howling Commandos
A highly trained soldier and member of the famous Howling Commandos, Gabriel Jones specializes in ranged combat and infiltration. He brings a grounded, soldier's perspective to the team's operations against Hydra.
- Expert marksman
- Demolitions and fieldcraft
- Covert infiltration
Nanali
MI6 Agent · British Intelligence

How to Play
Marvel 1943 Rise of Hydra Gameplay Guide
Based on official trailers and gameplay demonstrations, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is a third-person, narrative-driven action adventure in the vein of Amy Hennig's Uncharted series. Players switch between four protagonists, each with distinct playstyles ranging from Captain America's shield combat to Black Panther's stealth predation.
1
Learn Each Character's Playstyle
Each of the four protagonists has a unique combat identity: Steve Rogers favors shield-based melee and throws, Azzuri excels at fast stealth takedowns, Gabriel Jones relies on ranged weapons, and Nanali focuses on espionage tools. Missions are designed around each hero's strengths.
2
Master Stealth and Infiltration
Occupied zones are patrolled by Hydra soldiers. Use hiding spots, silent takedowns, and distractions to move unseen. Black Panther and Nanali sections emphasize this approach, letting you thin enemy ranks before open combat breaks out.
3
Combine Combat with the Environment
Open encounters mix melee combos, shield throws that ricochet between enemies, and gunplay. Use cover, verticality, and environmental objects to gain the upper hand against Hydra squads.
4
Follow the Narrative-Driven Mission Structure
The campaign is structured like a cinematic adventure, with story missions alternating between characters. Progression follows the unfolding plot rather than an open world, keeping a tight, film-like pacing typical of Amy Hennig-written games.
5
Team Up in Key Story Moments
At pivotal points, heroes converge and fight side by side — such as Captain America and Black Panther battling Hydra together. Coordinate both characters' abilities to overcome larger enemy waves and boss encounters.
