Once upon a time, Marvel announced a new video game teaming up Captain America and Black Panther. It existed in the back of my mind for all these years, and now we have the first story trailer! No real gameplay, but take a look at this atmosphere and character development — Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.

I think this game looks keen! I know we don’t have any gameplay yet, but it looks like maybe an Assassin’s Creed game for the Black Panther segment, and maybe an over-the-shoulder brawler for the Captain America segment. That should be fun.

I’m all in favor of more superhero video games. I love the Spider-Man games. I love the Batman: Arkham games. But other superheroes deserve the spotlight as well. Even if companies make stinkers like that Suicide Squad game, they should at least try! So I’m excited to see what Marvel 1943 will actually be like.

Of course, it’s not coming out until next year, which is going to be a very big year for video games.
