Here's a jaw-dropping look at Amy Hennig's new Captain America and Black Panther game
At today's State of Unreal livestream, we were given a look at the upcoming Captain America and Black Panther game from Amy Hennig, or to give its official, newly-announced name, Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.
The trailer itself is quite the spectacle, something Hennig said was all possible thanks to the Unreal engine. The game uses Epic's MetaHuman Creator, and hoo boy it's impressive. The detail on Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra's characters is really quite remarkable. Speaking following the trailer, Hennig herself called the detail in each character «insane».
«Working with the MetaHuman process, we have been able to honour our amazing actors' performances and faithfully transform them into equally powerful digital performances,» Hennig said. You can check out the latest trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra in the video below.
