Amy Hennig from Skydance unveiled Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra at the Epic Games event during the Game Developers Conference.
The game trailer features realistic imagery with incredible human facial animations and cinematic scenes that immerse the viewer in a movie-like experience, as explained by Hennig during the State of Unreal event with Epic Games CTO Kim Libreri.
Hennig showcased impressive visuals like a searchlight illuminating snow in a wintry war setting using Epic’s Nanite Tesselation technology. She also demonstrated effects such as smoke and fire emanating from a barrel.
Captain America’s suit fits perfectly and features intricate details that make it appear as real clothing on a character. The showdown between Black Panther and Captain America on a bridge showcases stunning visual details, allowing the characters’ performances to be faithfully reflected in amazing detail.

Hennig and Libreri discussed the technical innovations that Skydance is achieving with the Unreal Engine.
The trailer depicts Captain America and Black Panther battling Nazis in WWII. The facial animations, created with Unreal MetaHuman technology, are impressive. The parkour-like actions flow smoothly, and Captain America’s suit looks incredibly realistic. The use of searchlights in many scenes adds sophisticated lighting to each scene.
